- Today in Cape May did not go according to plan. Instead of dinghying and exploring the historic areas we were putting out fires! Not literally though, it was more of helping boats that are dragging and tangled anchors. Hope you enjoy this day showing how anchoring can be a bit of a challenge but all works out in the end!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

Jen, you don't have to explain staying on the Pivot. Under any adverse conditions a person should be on watch for safety reasons. That's common sense. Eliot did so well, helping 4 other boats in one morning. Just shows how good of boaters you both are. Jen, don't get so stressed out. You are going to be a wreck before loop is completed. You and Eliot have learned so much since you started and it shows. Be alert but relax a little, the challenges you face is something most all boaters experience on a long adventure. Aloha.
Glad you were able to help out. You two truly have the hearts of a teacher.
You did very well helping your fellow boaters ,and yes Jen you where right to stay with boat
Great job Eliot! Every cluster needs someone to step up and help sort things out and you were that guy! Cruisers look out for each other.
I am so very proud of y’all helping others. Always pay it forward.
You two are amazing and such loyal boaters to help others in need! I’m glad everything worked out for everyone! The pancakes looked yummy! So happy to hear Ollie did her business on Pivot. Keep trawling safely!
that's what make a boat community a special community; helping people in distress or people that need an extra hand. Great job!
This is good boat karma, extra points for the two of you!
Ollie is definitely a superstar
The perfect sea mates and you set a fine example for those that are capable and for those that are not. Thanks!
Good seamanship folks!
Elliot, you did great! It has always surprised me how few people want to get involved in an emergency. There had to be 20 others in the anchorage yet you were the only one actively assisting. Way to go. Semper Fi!!! Jen, you did exactly what you should have done. Handle your own situation. Then and only then should you assist other boaters. I'm proud of both of you.
It is Wonderful that You are Willing and Able to help.
Amazing adventure today.
Looking forward to seeing more. You are either in Canada or the dark side of the moon. You inspired my wife and I to take a trip to the C&D canal from our home port near Baltimore. Believe it or not our first trip that far North. So great. Keep the inspiration coming!
Great video. Very interesting with lots of excellent boating lessons to think about. In the airline industry we have a concept known as CRM, Crew Resource Management. You both provided a good example of CRM in action. Our first duty is to ensure the safety of our own boat and crew even if it means not rendering assistance to another boat in distress. Thank you for sharing this video and great job in a very difficult and challenging situation.
Wow, some stressful stuff indeed. Glad you guys sorted all the issues...
Another day in paradise! While experience is the best teacher it never seems to come at the best time. You all did well and things worked. Hats off to you all. And you may have found new friends. Enjoy
Looks like Elliot caught a lot of sun doing his rescue efforts..
Good job. It’s people like you two that the boating community so special.
