- Meet our friends Jenn & Elliot, also known as @SchoandJo! These two, plus their sweet pup Ollie, live full time on their boat PIVOT and have the goal to complete America's Great Loop, a 6,000 mile boating journey around the US!
After being internet friends for over a year, we headed to Crisfield, Maryland where they were docked to meet them in real life! We spent 3 days learning about boat life, eating delicious meals, having game nights, celebrating Adam's birthday, learning how to drive a dingy, seeing killer sunsets, trying crab cakes in the Crab Capital of the World, and more! It was a BLAST and we are so thankful for their friendship!
Watch their video from our time together: • From Van Life to Trawl...
Make sure to follow along on their journey! 🛥

This video gave us so many good feels! We couldn’t stop smiling while watching this bc it brought back so many good memories of our time together with you guys! Meeting you guys in person was a highlight of our year and we can’t wait for you guys to visit us aboard PIVOT again. You guys are even MORE AMZING in real life than online and we can’t wait to make more fun memories together!
I smiled and laughed so much while editing this! Y’all are so dang fun and we had the best time! So excited for many more memories together ❤️
How different! We enjoyed your boating video, but then we always enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for watching!
We grew using and sailed on the Chesapeake all our lives. So cool to see you in our “hometown”. Hope to see you on the road.
That is awesome! What a gorgeous area to sail! 😍
@@AdventuresofAplusK It was actually the start of our full time RV life, after spending every weekend on the boat we realized how small we could live, intentionally. 👍🏻
Y'all making me cry! First your in my home state, and your having my most favorite food of all time- crabs!! I miss those Maryland crabcakes! If you ever get to stop in or go by Annapolis, you should stop in at The Diner off of Rt 50 and Rt 2. Great crabcakes and a desert bar to die for of all homemade deserts! 👌
Have a great time and thanks for all your great videos! 😊❤
We definitely will be back to see Annapolis, so thank you for the food rec! ❤️❤️
So this was a very unique (in a good way) vlog! It was fun meeting Scho & Jo...they seem pretty awesome! The crab cakes looked really good...better than the Lobster you had maybe? Looks like you had a bunch of really good food...now I'm getting hungry! I really enjoyed the boat tour...thats so fun you got to sleep and shower on the boat! Happy birthday to Adam again! So much more I could say but I'll refrain from writing a book. Awesome vlog guys!
We are really glad you enjoyed it! Definitely a bit different than normal, but it’s a lot of fun for us to share different experiences! It’s so tough to say if it was better than the lobster roll…it’s VERY close! Adam says thanks for the birthday wishes!
so fun! What an awesome time. Jenn and Elliot seem like such wholesome and amazing people. Happy Belated Birthday Adam!
They are the best! And thanks for the birthday wishes!
I loved this episode. I love cruises, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this. Being on the water is a whole kinda different sense of peace. The waves make me feel like I'm in an adult cradle.
We are so glad you enjoyed it! It was the best few days and we loved being on the water 😍
Great video! I still stand by my statement a few months ago: ya’all are boat people, but just don’t know it yet! Come to the darkside! As you see we have more space than a van and way more room for ice cream!
But seriously, I think you two would LOVE doing the great loop.
We are more mountain people than sea people, but the boat was a ton of fun and I guess we should never say never since we didn’t ever think we’d live in a van either!
Y’all are gonna evolve from Brisket to a Boat, I can see it. Wait, I remember what happened in Corpus, Y’all may prefer Land over Sea. RIP, inflatable kayak. Nice meeting your compadres, that course-charting looked legit. Very cool episode. Nice editing. Estuary, I learned something. A+K, get a boat! 🏖🛥👍🏽
Hahah we are definitely land humans! But we will gladly tag along with Jenn and Elliot any day!
Wenn be loved this. A change is as good as a rest - so they say. How wonderful to make friends and meet up via this amazing nomadic life. We totally get you with the traveling and content creating and we’re not even full time, yet. 14 weeks to go, but who’s counting??? 🥰🥰
This was such a rejuvenating adventure for us! And much needed! Good luck and congrats on your full time adventure!
What a fun video! So cool that y’all have made such wonderful friends and shared such an amazing experience! Neat learning some boating info too!! It’s a beautiful area & you were not far from Assateague National Seashore - well with the visit! You can even camp on the beaches and see the beautiful wild horses! Hope your doing better - read your email and hate that you were injured! I’m sure Adam & your Mom are taking good care of you though! Oh, & Happy Birthday Adam!! What a way to celebrate!!!🎉
We are so glad you enjoyed it! We are so thankful for their friendship and to get to spend this quality time with them ❤️ We had wanted to visit Assateague, but didn’t have enough time this time, so next time for sure! And thankfully I’m doing quite a bit better. That story will be in our next video 😅
So envious of your experience doing this! ❤️ Travel is great, but when the opportunity arises to do something that you can't just book through a company, it's amazing, and when it's an experience very foreign to what you're used to - even better. Though I appreciate what you said about Jenn and Elliot having a lot in common with you living a Nomadic lifestyle and being content creators on CZcams. With all the will in the world, I'd never have been able to sleep in the position where Adam was, and I question whether I'd have been able to stomach being where you were Kathryn! Happy belated birthday Adam! 🥳🎂🎉
It was so much fun getting to experience something so new to us and learn more about how our friends live on the water. It was one of our favorite experiences of the year! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes for Adam as well! ❤️ He definitely didn’t sleep under the coffin for too long and instead pushed me almost off the bed 😜😂
We LOVED this vlog! It was so fun to watch you enjoying boat life with Jenn and Elliott! They seem like such nice and fun people! Ollie is sooooo cute too and we’ll behaved! Loved seeing her in her life jacket just enjoying her dingy ride! The Indian food looked SOOOO delicious and how wonderful of Jenn to spend so much time preparing it.
We are so glad y’all enjoyed it! Ollie is such a great girl and is the perfect boat dog! ⛴🐶 Jenn and Elliot are both amazing humans and we are so happy we got to share them and a little bit of their journey with everyone!
Another great video, you guys are awesome!! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all, God bless you both!!!
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
I love their dog Ollie, what a sweet little soul. Great video 👍
She is the best!!
We really enjoyed this video. It was so nice to see you enjoy the time with good friends. The boat was so interesting. Happy Birthday Adam🤩🤩
We are so happy you enjoyed it! And thank you for the birthday wishes!
I love the Chesapeake Bay Area! You guys are so lucky to know some friends here in Maryland with a boat! I loved this tour. Whenever I get to go by the water I always love watching them sail. 😊😊
We are so glad we got to join them on their boat while they were there!
AYYY welcome to MD!!! Dang we were close but glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wait to come back and explore the state more!
What a great adventure. Their boat is so impressive, and so much room! I’m sure it was a blast. 👍
It’s so spacious compared to the van!
I really enjoyed this video and all the places that you share! You are both such amazing people with great insight and perspectives. What a fun memorable way to celebrate a birthday Adam! Out on a boat with friends!!! Can't beat that. Hope you weren't affected by those nasty tornados that hit Kentucky yesterday as you said you were headed in that direction at the end of this video. Take care and Happy Holidays to you!
Thank you so much for watching Amber! And for the birthday wishes! It was definitely his favorite birthday in a long time ❤️
Thankfully we were in Kentucky about a month ago, so we are safe in Texas now!
The brackish water of the Chesapeake Bay runs through my veins and last year my husband and I even went over to Smith Island for cake! I’m glad you both enjoyed your time on the Bay and thanks for introducing us to another wonderful YT couple!
That is so awesome!!! We would’ve loved to have gone to Smith Island. Jenn and Elliot were there when Elliot broke his wrist months ago and were able to try the cake straight from the island.
Belated Happy Birthday Captain Adam. It was interesting seeing the inside of the boat and seeing Elliot describe some of the features.
Thanks Steve! We learned a ton from them about boats!
Enjoyed this so much! Subcribed to Jenn and Elliot's channel too! You two are so fun and do a fantastic job with your information and videos! Keep on keeping on! Happy 34th birthday Adam!
Thank you so much Karen! So happy you enjoyed this boat adventure! And thank you for the birthday wishes!
Wow! That was fun and different! Happy late birthday Adam! Curious if Scho and Jo had any boating experience before they decided to do this. They seemed very nice and I will check out their adventures too. Have a safe drive and a wonderful holiday with your families. Take care!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! And they had basically zero boating experience, which makes what they are doing even more impressive! Have a wonderful holiday Loey! ❤️
You both are so fortunate to be able to travel to so many awesome places .
We are very lucky and grateful we get to do what we do!
The Chesapeake is amazing! We spent a lot of time there on the water before we moved to Germany. We were near Deale and Rose Haven though, on the other side of the bay. We really love spending time on the bay.
We had a great time as well. We can see why you love it so much!
A new adventure for you guys- very cool
Happy Birthday Adam
Thanks William!!
Happy Birthday Adam! Thank you two for visiting our area. Next time you come up visit the eastern shore and see the bay bridge!
Thank you! We drove on that bridge to get to them from Virginia actually 😃 Long bridge!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
Very cool to be able to meet up- can't wait to check out their channel! Looks like tons of fun! Also neat to see the comparisons between van life and boat life- who knew there was so much involved?
Van life can be mega overwhelming and stressful at times, so we give them huge props for tackling those same challenges, plus other challenges, on the water!
So jealous of the Indian food! WE LOVE IT!!!
It was so good! Jenn has some mad cooking skills!
What fun!!!! We enjoyed watching your adventure! After a couple of nights on the boat, didn't being on land feel different....it always feels different to us...lol. Happy Birthday Adam!!!
So glad you enjoyed it Joyce! Land definitely feels a bit different! Although, I always felt a bit clumsy on the boat and never got fully used to moving on it haha
@@AdventuresofAplusK Getting use to the wave action just takes time.
Looks like y’all have hooked up with a great couple. Certainly enjoyed the vid. Thanks. D.
They are the best! We had such a blast with them and we’re so glad you enjoyed the video!
@@AdventuresofAplusK hope to meet up with them someday, when we get a boat. D.
That would be awesome!
So jealous of that crab cake! Maryland definitely has the best in the country. I actually prefer crab to lobster. Can't wait to check out Jenn & Elliot's channel!
We really enjoyed the crab cakes! I still need try just plain crab though to decide which we prefer between crab and lobster!
Great vlog. There is a lot to do along the DelMarVa peninsula. At the southern end, where the Bay Bridge Tunnel is, was an Air Force Radar station, Cape Charles AFS. I spent 2 years there, now it is a wildlife sanctuary. Happy birthday, Adam. Until next time... Travel Safe
Thank you so much! There is TONS to do out there! We look forward to going back and exploring the area a bit. Adam says thank you for the birthday wishes!
Happy Belated Birthday! I’m excited to see your time at Mammoth Cave. We did the Wild Cave tour when we were there and loved it!
Thank you! And let’s just say Mammoth Cave didn’t go as planned haha 😅😬
Oh no!
Ahhhhh Boat life!!!!! it will wear your butt out... physically, emotionally and financially!!!
Hahaha Break Out Another Thousand, right?! 😜 We are so proud of them for tackling the challenge!
Great video. You def need to visit Kent Narrows in Grasonville, MD. Numerous restaurants and hiking trails along the island. Scho, Jo and Ollie were great hosts.
Thank you Jeffrey! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for all of the tips! We look forward to returning to MD to explore a lot more!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Safe travels back to Texas? for the holidays. Message back when you are able to return to MD and we can give you a tour of Kent Island...
Thank you! We safely made it back!
Great video. We boat the Piankatank, near the southern Bay.
Seriously, how had you never had crab?!🦀
Thanks Leslie! Until recently, I did not like or eat seafood, but I’ve been trying to expand my food horizons!
Thanks for introducing us to Scho & Jo!
Absolutely! 🙌🏼
Great collab with what seems like some amazing CZcamsrs, definitely need to check out their channel! Not your typical content but I really like it. I’m amazed at boating since I never grew up around the water and it seems like a unique way to explore the world. And the Indian food looks so yummy, especially those deserts.
We’re glad you enjoyed it! We love getting to share different types of experiences when we can and we had a blast learning about another type of nomadic life 🙌🏼
I always feel like operating a boat is so intimidating! So many random things you have to keep track of and simple things like parking seem complicated.
Glad you are making a stop an hour from me at Mammoth Caves! I know you've already filmed it, but hopefully you try some Bourbon when you are in the area (or if you don't drink, typical KY things like Derby pie or a Hot Brown)!
It is very intimidating! We always say that van life is challenging and requires many daily decisions, but boat life is that x10, since boating itself isn't as intuitive as driving a vehicle and everything is more complex on the water. Super proud of them for tackling this!
We had a hot brown burger last time we were in KY! Our experience in KY this time went quite a bit different than planned unfortunately haha.
Happy belated birthday, Adam!
Thank you so much Linda!
Saw the name of boat, made me think of ross on friends saying that word
Hahaha definitely!
Very cool. I used to live in dover Delaware for 27 years and sadly never got to go there. Bummer but thanks for taking me along with you. 💜
We still need to visit Delaware! 😃
@@AdventuresofAplusK the beach area is nice and north DE. Has some historic places. It is the 1st state you know. Lol
Thanks A+K
Happy birthday, Adam!
This video felt just a little different from most, but in a good way. More personal, maybe, with the peek into your visit with friends? Not sure what it was exactly. You created it-did it feel different to you at all? Anyway, I thought it was great and I especially enjoyed the great composition of your many magic hour and sunset shots.
Thanks for the introduction to Scho & Jo. Hope you enjoyed Mammoth Cave NP!
Thank you!
It definitely felt different to us too! It was much more relaxed than normal and was more of us just kind of going with the flow, which isn’t how it always goes haha. Usually we have a set plan of what to film and important things to say and are rushing around to get all of the shots we need.
We are so glad you enjoyed it though. It was a very nice change of pace for us to get to be with friends and just unwind a bit!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yes, I think you nailed it with your description. The effect that relaxation and flow-going had was to make the video feel just a little more personal or intimate or something like that. Don’t get me wrong-I love the typical A+K video, this was just a nice way to mix it up.
We agree! Hoping to incorporate more of that vibe into future videos!
5:12... He looked like Gandalf in a Hobbit House 🤣
LOL! And Adam was Dracula in a coffin later on hahah
Right? !!! You guys are always fun to watch!
Hello Adventurers😊😊😊, WOW... YOUR IN CRISFIELD,MD??? OMG!! I know that area VERY with so many cousins, aunts and uncles. You don't know but you are surrounded by my dad's side of the family. AWESOME!!! Ok I'll continue watching this...
This is AWESOME!!!😄😄😄
Oh wow!!! That is awesome! 🙌🏼
This video was AMAZING. Happy Birthday Adam🎂🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰! I have explored the underground trails of Mammoth Cave National Park. Y'all will really enjoy it too. I'm looking forward to seeing that footage👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! And our Mammoth Cave video will be interesting to say the least haha
Where oh where did you find the shark birthday hats? I need to find these!! Thanks for sharing these folks with us!! So glad you all got to meet finally!
Target! They were 100% for children, but we managed to fit them over our adult heads lol!
Dang you guys were so close! I live on Kent Island
Ah nice!!
Hello Adventurers😊😊, just wondering if y'all are ok. You didn't get near any tornado did you? I know y'all were planning Mammoth Cave visit.
Hi Al! Thank you for checking! We were thankfully there over a month ago and are safe in Texas. ❤️
Interesting to learn about boat life. Maybe one day you guys can trade van for a small sailing boat for a trip through inside passage to Alaska
That sounds beautiful!
Indian food 🥳 Did you feel motion sickness on the boat?
Thankfully no! I have felt it once or twice before, but not with them!
Are you all okay? At the end of the video you said you would be in KY?
We are! This was all filmed over a month ago and we are back in Texas. Thank you for checking on us though! ❤️
Oh guys. Crabs not in season, you must return for the Sept-oct bounty.
Good to know!
🎂🎂🎂
