  • With our season in the Chesapeake Bay now over, we begin our journey south down the coast from Maryland to Florida. We make our first ever passage around Cape Hatteras and visit some new coastal towns and pristine national parks along the way. Once in Florida, our next stop... sailing to The Bahamas!

    Great video. Lots of smooth and easy sailing footage, but the turkey call was my favorite bit.

  • @mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643

    Awesome, I'm glad to see you made it on Cumberland island and saw the horses. I love that road with the Oak limbs arching over it. I have a great black and white picture of that exact spot. Pro tip on fishing: I believe that was a Bonita that you caught, from the quick glimpse that I saw. You can fillet small strips off of the Bonita and "tip" your lure hook with it. You would be surprised how many pelagic fish fall in behind your lure but they don't comment to biting. They are seeing what looks like prey, but if they don't get confirmation by smell, they will often turn away. My strike rate went way up once I started tipping my bucktail lures while trolling offshore and even in the bays.

    Trying to catch up with your channel. You passed very close to us on Saint Simons Island when you stopped at Cumberland. Lots of memories stirred from your Chesapeake sailing as I spent four years imprisoned in Annapolis at the Naval Academy. I've never been as cold in my life as I was when we were out on the Chesapeake in the winter.

    • @TakeTheWaters
      @TakeTheWaters  Před 3 lety

      I completely understand your reasoning. We did sail a good bit, about half the trip down was sailed, I just didn’t film it. But I’m serious when i say I dont like the cold, any colder and i would have shipped it down lol. Now we’re in the Bahamas and we wait for the right wind more often, unless a front is coming and we need to get somewhere fast for protection. -Brian

      Thanks Clay. Seems our subs have slowed down a bit. I just don't have the time to make enough content to make CZcams happy.

      Just don’t watch the videos then Fran. There’s no need to comment (twice) insulting Brian and Mandy. They likely will read your comment and that probably wouldn’t make them feel good considering how much work they’ve put into this project. If you’re going to say something, why don’t you make a suggestion of how they can improve the videos rather than just calling them boring and whiny?

      @@TheAegisClaw how can you say they’re not cut out for boat life? After all those hours toiling in the boat yard. They’ve done more work (and probably sailed more miles) than probably 80% of sailors. If someone wants to suggest a way to improve their videos, I’m sure Brian and Mandy would appreciate it, but “you guys are so uneventful. Boring” is just insulting. I see no effort to be constructive in that response.
