We left Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach and headed north on the Intracoastal Waterway on America's Great Loop. Note to self: don't cruise through Myrtle Beach on a beautiful Saturday. We hit huge crowds enjoying the waterway and encountered our least enjoyable day on the water. From inconsiderate boaters to boaters not paying attention and almost running into us. On top of that, we navigated through Rock Pile, which is a dangerous section along the ICW and requires the utmost attention. We were kept us on our toes all day! Thanks for watching! Cheers from the Loop, Jennifer and Elliot #greatloop #boating #rockpile 🎥 Episode 158 | Filmed on May 8, 2021 🇺🇸 America's Great Loop | Myrtle Beach, South Carolina _______________________ Andy & Gwen's YouTube Channel null _______________________ BLOG https://schoandjo.com/blog ☝️ Read more and check out behind the scenes at the blog _______________________ AMERICA'S GREAT LOOP CRUISERS ASSOCIATION Join AGLCA for information on planning and completing your Great Loop adventure.

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 head first 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! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kick back.
