Leaving our Home Marina FOREVER | Let Boat Life Begin
The day is finally here.... after 8 months of quarantine, deliberation, buying our boat, boat projects, and our maiden voyage - we are finally leaving our home marina in San Mateo, Florida. We couldn't have done it without the love and support of our family and we hope you get a glimpse into that with this video.
Thanks for watching,
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!

Dont let them down play the seriousness of rowing a boat. :)

Nana is so funny 😂 Definitely have to stay positive, the only way to get through some of the tough parts!
Get all these "first" out of the way and you'll have a blast. We've all been there and done that at one point. You guys are doing well! Really enjoying watching your adventures! So jealous 😂 Thanks for sharing!

We were just thinking this same idea, cursing south has been totally unlike the first part of leaving and while we are still learning the lessons are a lot less stressful and harsh. Thanks for watching Dominique!
I have been laid up for several months after having back surgery. Videos like yours are what have gotten me thru the cold Ohio winter and recovery. I have a 34' Sea Ray on Lake Erie which should launch in the next few weeks. I love that your Mom and Grandmother and his Mom and Dad were able to share a leg of this with you. Your Grandmother looks and sounds like she is a bit of a rascal. I have a 90 year old Dad and he is bit of rascal himself. I have a lot of videos to watch to see your complete journey but look forward to it.
Awesome guys
Wow, this video was packed with amazing moments. Manatees, beautiful sunrises, and family 😊 Can't wait for Friday's video 🙌

Green cove spring I like being in a wash tug when the wind blows. It is in a big bowl shave on the st. John's

Sounds about right list my grill grates it spun over, wasnt properly secure, top opened up and goodbye. Flipped dinghy, bumped dinghy off of swim platform.

What a memorable and great start! Yes, sitting at a dock with the wind rocking you into it is miserable. You totally made the right call to go out to anchor. Love your nana, she is a hoot!

Haha she really is the highlight of the show. Hopefully we can pick her up for another cruise! It was definitely not a great night sleep that night!
Loved following along on day 1! Your families are so sweet 😍 but Ollie stole the show in our eyes!

Let me put a sleeping bag on that back deck and I will revarnish all that bright work. I already got a gallon of helmsman varnish and badger brush. Ha!

Yes definitely jealous of being able to be down there on a boat. Mine is on land all shrink wrapped. I'm in Northern Ohio home Port western end of Lake Erie. Love and am inspired by your videos. Keep them going. 😊

Ah a little cold to be on the boat up there 😁 We have made it to where the butter melts (in real time) and are enjoying some sun in Vero Beach, FL. It won't be long until the season up there! Thanks for the support - cheers 🍻

When the rain water was leaking into your V Berth where did you track it to and how did you fix it? I have the exact same boat that you do and have the same leaks.

Man, what a big day for you. You're going to do just fine in your new life, somehow we know this. Great crew you've got there, too! But idunno, looks like Ollie's the main editor though. Sorry, we're dog-peeps, so we can't ever NOT comment on Ollie. 😉
