Huge SWELLS crossing PORT ROYAL SOUND | FIRST TIME using a MOORING BALL in Beaufort, SC
Jenn and Ollie get an unexpected bath while crossing our first sound! A combination of the wind, tides, and our heading gave us some huge swells that came over the side of PIVOT on Port Royal Sound. We enjoyed dolphins and used a mooring ball for our first time!
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 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!

Great video! BIG waves! BAD dingy motor. : ( Way to row Elliot! ❤
Planning our next adventure from Charleston to Daufuskie in our C-22...really appreciated this episode, especially the mooring ball/rowing into the marina at Beaufort...confirms my plan to stay at the dock! All the best!

You might want to do something about the long end of the strap on your life jacket when pulling the anchor. It would be horrible if it was caught in the windlass. Enjoy the adventure. Sounds like a fun time.

Just started following you guys. Great videos and adventures so far. Thank you. This was a particularly fun video for me as we live at Hilton Head and boat those waters regularly. Fun seeing the Sound from your point of view.

Beaufort was one of our favorite stops. Free dinghy dock, Fantastic library, good bagel shop and a top notch park right on the water.

Absolutely! I don’t think we filmed it, but one night there was live music in that park. So cool! Will have to make a stop at the library next time, do you remember the name of the bagel shop?

Sound like you need to replace the fuel filter amd plug
As I work my way through watching your videos, I hope there is one where you’ve bought a new motor for the dinghy. 👍🏻👍🏻

Fred is troubled but think about how good your conditioning is with all that rowing!

You need anchor bridle! Also put the boat in forward to pull the anchor up rather than using your windlass to pull the boat. Most importantly, don't ever call your Admiral a deckhand 😉

Thanks for the tips! We will start using a bridal and good suggestion on the windlass. Can’t believe I got away with the last one, next time I’ll become a deck swab 😅
Loving it, safe travels

Thanks for coming by Adrian! Excited to see you out on the Loop one day. Next time we stop by, we will have to check out Luthers. Thanks!
The motor problem could be that the fuel tank breather may be closed, loosen to let the tank breath, hope it's as simple as that, best of luck, Al

Its great to be on this journey with you. I would appreciate if you can mention the date of filming in the description.

For sure! We can add that to new videos, this was filmed in mid-April!
I'm sure by now someone has mentioned it but it's a lot easier to row if the motor is tilted up out of the water. Ask me how I know! LOL.

Haha actually you are the first! It makes sense!
Man I had an outboard that acted like that. Such a pain in the butt. I'm impressed you didn't just toss it overboard to make the rowing easier.

I’m watching this on Friday night, January 14. I am wondering when you videotaped it. Were you in Beaufort today? I started watching you two just a week ago and am enjoying watching because you are so new to boating and the Loop. My husband and I will be new, too, when we start The Loop in June. We live in Savannah, so I am sorry that I didn’t know when you were here. Sounds like you had dinner plans already, but I would have loved to take you two out to dinner and pick your brains. Keep up the good work, but please tell us the date when you film.

Hi Janet! Thank you so much for watching we really appreciate it! That's exciting - June is just around the corner! We have thoroughly enjoyed Savannah both times we've come through and are looking forward to stopping by again. If you check the video description we usually have the film dates there! For this video it was back when we were heading north last Spring - April 20, 2021. Cheers!
