This tracking thing is sweet. Looks like you're making good time.

Hope everything is going well.

thats cool! good luck!

What a great trip. You are really making good time, have fun.

Why not just use one of the icemakers?

Great boat. Can't wait to see it here on the lake.

They built up to 8 footers so we came on the inside...

Everything is as planned. Going well.


Here's tha link for this page of the thread.

:D

what kind of speed are you running? It looks like you're really moving.

I figured you'd do 1.14 mpg or so. Hmmmm, that's only 1.04. Perhaps the tank wasn't full to start with.

My guess is, without a strong current, you'll do 445 miles on your next fill.

Don't speed now.

That tracker has got to be one of the coolest things ever. Combined with Google maps and the hybrid view that ranks right up there with velcro and spandex!!

Congrats on the new " RV"

:ernaehrung004:

If you're going inside in SC up to L. River inlet let me know. There are spots there that will end your trip in a split second.

Here's Dave Thomas' boat (yup Wendy's) after he did $1mm in damage. Had it my marina for 8 months

The SPOT GLH page just went down :( :(

Error happened. Exceed the maximum view count for this shared page

i told him to let me know yesterday. odds are everything is fine.

You get 500 views per week, w/has been exceeded. GLH needs to create a new "shared page" account so we can all keep viewing.
:cool-smiley-011:

Looks like GL paid the bill. It's back up!


Frank :cool-smiley-011:

I'm considering putting one of those devices on the kids :D

hes almost half way home:cool-smiley-026:

Making good time I see. 1/2 way thru SC.

Only 8 feet? I thought you told me that you loved running in "the junk" :)

Safe trip poutine boy:evilb:

Very cool... Thanks for sharing your trip...

I assume you are going through the inside of Hatteras. If you need cheap good fuel and want to have one of the best primribs you ever ate stop at Cinjock marina in Coinjock N.C.

Tell Louis that Tommy from Forida said Hi.They have little grocery store onsite or Louis will let you borrow a car to run into town.

Seriously good people there and one of the largest and tasties primeribs i have ever eaten.It was so good that when I left I did not eat primerib for years because everything else was a disappoinmet.

Boy could we use a place like that near the water here Tommy.

You made me hungry thinking of that prime rib

Damn, now I'm hungry.

Anyone hear from or talk to GL today? Looks like he's been in check at 34.4771 Lat -77.4869 Long since 08:06am :confused: Something going on?

very cool. Watch out for low flying V-22's!

Very cool to watch this unfold.

Sounds like an awesome trip GLH, looking forward to being able to do a trip from the Chicago area down the rivers to the gulf soon with a relative. With the fuel burn of around 1 naut mpg, what speed/rpm were you averaging out of curiousity? You must be having an awesome time, congrats!!!!!

Thats pretty cool GLH, Nice rig and fun cruise. I'll keep checking in to see how it's going. Have a fun and safe trip....:p

No more story to tell ? ...can`t wait to ear about it ....:D
p.s. you running late ?

dido....pretty cool

Just got back to cell coverage... Everything going well...
Little setback yesterday crossing a shriimppinnn bot in a canal in SC... Lets say I won't be sending christmas card to that fuc$er!!! But we had spare props so after a lift out and fix took 2 hours to change props and we were on our way again.

BTW anyone doing a trip like this ... get a Boat US membership... The money has been repaid with 5 and 10cents discount per gallon and a pull off a sand bar ...inside the canal mind you, in South of Swanton or something like that SC...

Fuel burn is around 30 gals an hour running around 20-21 knots.

Fuel prices ... I have seen $5.60 in FL but did not buy it and paid $3.89 yesterday North of Morehead City.

Here is the link again... adn I think it is a great tracking deal, specially when you press on Hybrid in the top right for the google images...

Thanks all for looking out for us.

Be safe old man. See you when you get back.

Thanks Pete.

You know your wife is going to want you to buy this from me!!!!

GLH,
What a great adventure! And yes, I've had a run-in with a Shrimp boat on the May river in Bluffton SC. The ba$tards come right up the MIDDLE of the channel, like they own it!:angry-smiley-038:

Once you got to Beaufort, NC, you're on the track of the trip we made in our 38 Formula in 2004. A very cool experience.

Was your grounding in Lockwood's Folly Inlet? That's a notorious spot on the ICW.

When you came out of Adams Creek into the Neuse River, you were 6 miles from the lot where we plan to build "the house" in a few years.

I'll bet that the canal from Belhaven to the Alligator River was a l-o-n-g ride in the dark last night.

Did Albemarle Sound kick your ass liek it did me?

If you decide to run up Chesapeake Bay, we can recommend a few cool stops. If you run outside, you're on your own.

You've been making great progress - obviously a man on a mission!

A little "setback". Lets see 3 dudes with years of combined experience, cruising the Seas for days in an incredible luxurious boat and just happen to stop in South Carolina for a little "Southern Hospitality";) Ok, if a "setback" is what you want to call it we understand.:cool-smiley-027:

Be safe :cool-smiley-011:

GLH, Sounds like a great time. Even with the setbacks. Beautiful boat good luck with her.:cool-smiley-011:

Wow! Passing through Hampton Roads already! :cool-smiley-027:

Looks like he may have run into a delay at the Military Highway bridge. Wonder if CG is withholding permission for him to travel through

Soon, its time time for the crew to make the call to run the outside or stay inside. Forecast, shows rain, 30kt winds gusts etc... Decisions..decisions...This tracking system is great. I've been following the forecast from the time they left Florida and that was the only day with near perfect running conditions.

Be safe....
