1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,799 Toronto Dental. I'm a patient there, and of course I'm not going to 2 00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:06,879 tell you to go anywhere I wouldn't go.

Will it be explained to 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,839 me? Are they just going to go in my mouth and do things like 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,719 put a gold tooth in there, which I've had done in the past. 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,320 At Toronto Dental, they don't do that. As a team, they educate 10 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:36,079 you on all your options and you choose the treatment that's right for you. 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,200 That's right, you do it at Toronto Dental.

Could you like use words? Yes? 49 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:32,879 Yes? Now, you did a lot of on the street stuff. Yes, 50 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120 do you like doing that? You did a fantastic job with it. 51 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,680 Yes, you really did. You did an excellent job. What are some 52 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:45,879 of the things that you enjoyed while you were here? Yes, Um, 53 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:53,280 I enjoyed watching South Bark. Yeah. I didn't realize how dirty that show. 54 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:58,039 You've laughed so hard. I laughed at some of it. You're right, 55 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,879 you laughed out a lot of it. Yeah, I haven't. I 56 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,479 mean I always like South Park, I just don't watch it on a regular 57 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:08,199 basis. So that, Um, what else? C Breeze with your brothers? 58 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,120 That was my favorite part of so fun? Yeah? I like the 59 00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,959 water slides there. I went on every single water slide, every single one. 60 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,680 And uh, what about coming here and hanging out doing on the street 61 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:27,959 stuff? You like that fun? Because I made did you? Uh? 62 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,839 And then you learn to change the tire because we got a flat tire. 63 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,720 You have ideas for businesses. What do you want to do? Like, 64 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,480 what's my advice to someone who wants money? Yeah, So a good way 65 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:43,399 to make money I think now is something called bird dogging, especially if you're 66 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,759 my age or you're into things like real estate. I really like real estate. 67 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,000 Um, that's also a really good way to keep your money safe, 68 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,120 because I mean soon cash might not be a currency anymore, and it might 69 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,399 did you all go digital? So keeping money like in crypto and stuff. 70 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,319 I'm getting off, but I'm just using examples and stuff. Real estate is 71 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:06,439 a really good way to keep your money safe. But there's things. So 72 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,639 you know, when you go hunting and you have a bird dog and the 73 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,800 dog you throw them out and go get the prey, and then you obviously 74 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,319 give them a tree because they did so good. So if what I do, 75 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,399 I go on my phone, I go on Zillo. I go around 76 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:25,639 Alabama, doesn't matter where it is. I usually go from Birmingham to Florence, 77 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,480 Alabama, because that's where you live. You live in Alabama, So 78 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,160 I find it for maybe a little under two hundred grand. Go on Facebook, 79 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,959 go find real estate agents, join group chats with real estate agents in 80 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,040 your area, then message them say hey, I'm a young entrepreneur. I'm 81 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,040 a bird dogger. I'd like it. Actually, don't tell them you're a 82 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:55,199 bird dogger. That's not a good thing to do, So don't say that. 83 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,160 But you can say that to the right one. Say I'm I'm a 84 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:03,439 young entrepreneur. I found rundown houses that I think you are totally able to 85 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,600 flip. Just along those lines. Do not say that you're totally able to 86 00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:11,120 flip, because would make you sound like an idiot. Just say that are 87 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,040 able to be flipped, and I think would look beautiful to be flipped. 88 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:17,040 Things like that. Then if they say yes, blah blah blah, say 89 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,800 that the price. There's just one thing. This is the one key of 90 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,560 making the money is what you want to say. I'm looking for a finder's 91 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:29,439 fee of lowest to two hundred and fifty dollars and highest being I'd shoot for 92 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,560 two. If they're above two hundred, like two hundred grand, two hundred 93 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,199 grand and above, I'd say two thousand. If there are one hundred, 94 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:40,120 one hundred, forty thousand or lower, I'd go maybe a hundred, like 95 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,439 one thousand or lower. Okay, so that's one that's really good. If 96 00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:47,759 you want to get into real estate. That worked for you. I actually 97 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,000 have contact, I haven't gotten I haven't gotten the money yet, all right, 98 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,279 and I just got back in contact with him. I got a new 99 00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,240 phone. Okay, what else? Um, job ship, So I need 100 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,759 more research about it, but I'm pretty so I go on shopify. And 101 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,439 when you're making your business, it can be a clothing line, it can 102 00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,439 be your own homemade business. It could be all this like cooking stuff, 103 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,800 cooking appliances, literally anything. And then there's drop shipping. I swear a 104 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,480 lot of people get rich off drop shipping, especially teenagers. You don't have 105 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,519 to you can be eighteen, but like you can be lower than eighteen. 106 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,759 She usually me, I'd use my mom's with her permission. I'm not trying 107 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,959 to be like that. Yeah yeah, yeah whatever. I'm getting really slow. 108 00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:44,279 I'm sorry. Um. So, then you want to find the product 109 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,240 that you think is good right now. I think it's these colorful like bubble 110 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:50,360 guns. They're huge, they're like they're like so they have a cover like 111 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:54,040 a dish, and you fill it with soapa. Then you just dip it 112 00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:56,279 like it's just the safis. You dip it and then you spray it, 113 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,360 and there's colors. It's RGB blue, pink, green, and red, 114 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,399 all those colors, and they spray like a million bubbles in like a minute. 115 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,959 That's all over TikTok. If when you go go through TikTok, you 116 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,639 you can't go an entire day through TikTok without seeing someone showing their product, 117 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,240 but their voice isn't being played. So if they're showing a product and their 118 00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,279 voice isn't being played, they're drop shipping. Okay, TikTok's a really good 119 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,319 way to use drop shipping. You can do sell candles, you can sell 120 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,360 fidgets, you can sell all this stuff. TikTok shops good. What's the 121 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,240 endgame for you? What's the goal? Um? By fourteen? I want 122 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,759 I wanted to say a thousand, but I think I can shoot way and 123 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,159 more. For that, I can shoot way and more than that, okay, 124 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,559 and then there's more. They're saving your money. Yeah, So if 125 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:48,919 you like, if you're like me, yeah, fat stop. So if 126 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,879 you're a little bigger, you're a bigger guy and you want to save money 127 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,039 a lot, I'm being honest, a lot of your money. Can I 128 00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,559 say a custod what that's rude, a lot of shit, a lot of 129 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,759 shitty foods. Yeah yeah, So if your money goes towards a lot of 130 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,399 shitty foods, you can save the money because most of it, if we're 131 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,279 being on as bigger guys, than money's going towards food. And if you're 132 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,200 if you if it's unnecessary foods like what I bought, but it's made, 133 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,960 it's for the plane. I promise, it's for the planet. I had 134 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,519 listened, because I have stuff you bought, and then I have those that 135 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,919 I bought and I ate too, So I'm not eating a bunch on the 136 00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:26,960 point because I'll get sick. Whatever I'm getting off track. You can save 137 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,320 a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Technically, I was 138 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,639 smart. I actually thought about it. It took me a lot. Or 139 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,639 you could do interviews. You can work for my father do interviews, and 140 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,320 I make ten dollars. Listen. So I had seven dollars. I spent 141 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:45,080 seven dollars on snacks, but I still had twenty dollars. So when I 142 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:46,519 had the twenty dollars, I have more than what I started with. So 143 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,720 technically I didn't spend all my money and I didn't waste my money. At 144 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,360 I'm not complaining, and no one, you're not You're you're not in any 145 00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,799 trouble with me. Rushed, You're not in any trouble.

Looking for the weeks I had to be a little brighter and a 153 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,799 little less raining.

It's Bilified the Bill Moran Podcast. 222 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,720 Well, hello, thanks for getting your pot on. Thanks for telling 223 00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:20,360 a friend. That's how we spread the word about the pirate ship. I 224 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,279 had no idea that we would do a podcast at all tonight, and we'll 225 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,759 keep this fairly brief. But I thought it was an interesting interloop because people 226 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:33,720 were walking by the studio and they started waving. It's July third when we're 227 00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,840 taking this, and so I started waving back, and then they came down 228 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,480 and then they said to me, they're loopers. And I thought. My 229 00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:48,399 youngest son said, should I run fast? Run fast? So what is 230 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,360 a looper? Would be the question. Well, there's this thing called the 231 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:58,840 Great American Loop, and it is being able to transverse the eastern United States 232 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,399 through the rivers and then the Gulf Coast of Florida, then the East coast 233 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:11,679 of the Atlantic Ocean into the Hudson River, and then you can choose a 234 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,320 couple of different paths. Once you go through the Hudson River. You can 235 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,600 choose the Erie Canal, which is what brings us here, okay. Or 236 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:25,320 you can go straight up the Champlain the Hudson River and the Champlain Canal and 237 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,799 sweet and through the Ridue Canal of Canada and the Trend Severn and the Eastern 238 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:38,919 or the Northern Bay, Great Northern Northern Channel and the Northern Bay, Georgian 239 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,919 Bay. So this is this would be what I would call bad pod in 240 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,679 my part, not your part mine. I don't know what you mean by 241 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,559 that you need one. I need to get right on top of the microphone 242 00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:52,799 a little bit. But yes, like that, okay, But I didn't 243 00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:56,480 ask who you are. My name's Karen, and I'm on a boat called 244 00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:03,720 Long Recess. Long Recess. You are from Hint, Ohio. Yeah, 245 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,880 yeah, just north of Cincinnati. So how long does it take to do 246 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,599 that loop? And what kind of weather do you run into? And all 247 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,240 kinds of things? Right we and how has the Canadian fires been affecting things? 248 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,680 And yeah, so it takes a year, about a year? Whoa 249 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,599 a little or a little bit less, little bit longer. It took us 250 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,319 a little bit longer than a year. Um. But you follow the seasons. 251 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,400 So when you go down the rivers of UM. So I didn't you 252 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,440 know? You go, you get to Chicago, you get to the gosh, 253 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,119 you get to um like Michigan, and then you've got the Illinois, 254 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:41,599 the Chicago River, the Illinois River. Uh. Then you've got the Mississippi 255 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,079 River, the Ohio River. Then you've got so you head south. And 256 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,200 so you head south during the fall kind of spring fall and tennessee Tom Bigbie 257 00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:53,839 Waterway into the Mobile Bay and then the Gulf coast of Florida and the East 258 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,680 coast seasons. Yeah, you go Florabama and the East coast to Florida. 259 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:03,279 Now what about things like well her, I mean as much as we're saying, 260 00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:07,079 you go down there, but you hit hurricane season and things at at 261 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,359 times? Did you you follow the season so you don't hit the hurrican Oh 262 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,279 you don't. Okay, you avoid the tornadoes, the hurricanes and the winters. 263 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,359 So you um spring down the river system, right, no, spring 264 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,400 up, spring up the coast. UM go across the summer in the Great 265 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:29,640 Lakes. Yes, there you go, right, and and then you may 266 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,200 I ask your at least your first name, Pam, Pam and and Pam. 267 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,279 You're from California, correct, and you live in Napa correct. That 268 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:38,240 is some of the most beautiful country in the world. And yet I would 269 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,680 say, here at this time of year is gorgeous. Right, I grew 270 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:45,480 up downstate. You mentioned the Hudson River. I don't know if you passed 271 00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:48,559 Rhinebeck, New York.

That's where I grew up, that in 273 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,839 that area, and she still lives there. So I go down every once 274 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,960 in a while. And I love the Hudson, but I've only really kayaked 275 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,440 on the Hudson. That's a and the Hudson's incredibly beautiful. It is realize 276 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,559 that, ye did you go down through New York City and all we did? 277 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:10,319 Yeah? Great? Yeah? Yeah. It is wondering.

Yep? And that's the cool thing 282 00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:29,279 about that. That is pretty cool. So what kind of boat do you 283 00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:32,440 have, Karen?

A matter of fact, 330 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:41,279 my sister was my uncle was a pilot for Delta based in Park City, 331 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,559 and then he or he lived in Park City, and then he also had 332 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,640 a place in Palm Springs because Park City gets up to your ass and snow 333 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:55,440 until June and then uh and then from there, Um, i'm watching your 334 00:22:55,559 --> 00:23:02,400 husband went and got these more people who were loopers are planning there's in the 335 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,400 planning stage. And are they from here? From very far away? Yeah? 336 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,359 From pretty close by. Wow, And we just met them here while 337 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,599 we're boating. You know, you guys are just a bunch of friendly, 338 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,160 warm boating people. Yeah. We're parked out there on the canal. Yeah. 339 00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:21,440 Yeah, Now have you gone to my friend Damian Ulconrey's across the way 340 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:26,279 last night? Oh, we'll just look for the big mouth from with the 341 00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:30,880 Irish accent. He sees from Ironland and he's a he's a big mouth. 342 00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:36,119 Uh yeah, why don't you sit down here as well? Yeah, yeah, 343 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,839 just real quick, because I'm hearing that you're a future looper and I'm 344 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,200 learning. I had no idea that this was a thing. I didn't know 345 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:45,640 this was now. My brother, my younger brother, bicycled across the United 346 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,680 States, which is also a thing, and there's books and trails and he 347 00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:53,720 went from Seattle to Virginia. But I didn't know there was a looper deal. 348 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,839 What is your name? Michelle? Hi? Michelle and Michelle, I 349 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,119 hear you. Are you from the area? Yes? Where I'm actually from 350 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,519 the Binghamton area. Oh okay, so you're and do where do you live? 351 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:11,720 Now here or down there? I live in Binghamton, Well, actually 352 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:15,279 around Whitney Point. Okay, well we keep the boat messing. Oh you 353 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,559 do, okay on the canal? Yep. Oh, look at this, 354 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:22,720 and you're a future looper. Future looper. I didn't even know this existed. 355 00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:26,920 I'm so happy to know this. What a cool, cool thing. 356 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,920 So can I ask you, Karen, what did you do when you were 357 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,160 I assume you're retired, yeah, or you're just taking the sabbatical. No, 358 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,599 sort of retired. My husband, I know, I don't. He 359 00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:40,480 looks like he could be retired. You don't look like I'm sorry. I 360 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:42,559 don't mean to throw shade, you don't. You don't take it first, 361 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:47,559 thank you. So he's retired and he was ready to do this loop, 362 00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:49,319 and so I said, okay, I'll stop working, and we did this 363 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,759 loop. Can I guess what your career was? Sure? Go ahead? 364 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,160 Were you a teacher. We were both of us, both of you. 365 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,559 My parents were teachers. Long recess, our last sames long. Okay, 366 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:02,400 and we are on a long reasons, a long recess. That is what 367 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480 did you teach? Um? I taught elementary and then some middle school, 368 00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:11,039 and then I stopped working as an elementary principle. As an elementary principle. 369 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,279 Okay, how did you know that? I could? Karen was too friendly 370 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,680 and I could see. But Karen doesn't. I'm assuming this. Can I 371 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:22,440 hug you? Ready for this? I'm assuming Karen if she's older than me, 372 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,839 it's by a few months ifty two. There you go, by just 373 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,720 a few months. Yeah, that's what I said, by a few months. 374 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,359 And I figured that, and I'm going and I married an older man. 375 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,240 He roped the cradle. She can't exactly, She can't. That's usually 376 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,799 like she looked too young to retire. But my parents were teachers. My 377 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:48,400 mom was a speech mythologist. My dad had a doctorate in philosophy and taught 378 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,160 sixth grade English for thirty five years, because what are you gonna do with 379 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,279 a doctor. He built the house we grew up in. He did all 380 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,920 kinds of weird stuff, but that was his thing. So I kind of 381 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:02,599 got that that five and then you're honestly, Pam, your husband looks like 382 00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,880 he either did some kind of He looks like he could build stuff. He 383 00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:07,720 did. We actually built our home in data. Yeah, he looks like 384 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,200 he's took us nine months. There's builders and then there's carpenters. Your husband 385 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:18,759 looks like a carpenter. Yeah, but like he could build any finishing everything, 386 00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,680 and that's why he saves us thousands of dollars. And Pam, you 387 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,680 look like you could have been assume ia or I'm saying it wrong in terms 388 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,960 of wine, but they how did they say it? Assume I A would 389 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,559 be That's almost like a wrestler. No, what did you do? I 390 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,200 was a purchasing agent for the University of California. Oh okay, for any 391 00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:42,319 branch or just the state university kind of like New York we have the State 392 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,559 University of the University of California. I was with Davis. Oh nice, 393 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,359 Okay, look at this. I find this really interest So what so what's 394 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,160 next? Where does everybody are you all? I mean, the four of 395 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:59,200 you going to travel together from here? Well, we finished the loop in 396 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:03,680 October of last year, okay, and you finished in December, and so 397 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,960 we so what are we doing now? We're doing um what we didn't get 398 00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:12,799 to do during the loop. We did not come the eastern the Erie Canal. 399 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,720 I got you. We went up the Lake Champlain up to Montreal and 400 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,920 then down to the Ottawa and the Radu and Trent Severin through Canada. Okay, 401 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:27,440 we did not do the Erie Canal. So we um left Port Clinton 402 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,720 on the Erie Um Lake Erie and came across the Erie Canal. And so 403 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,359 we're going to go down into the Finger Lakes. And so they're coming east 404 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,519 on the Erie Canal. And do you know what fingered like you want to 405 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:49,079 hit Cayuga? Did I say that right? Kuka kut ku ku a Cayuga. 406 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,319 We're going to go to Cayuga and Seneca. Okay. Sen Senega is 407 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,400 the deepest they used to do submarine and the Navy did a lot of things 408 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,039 there because it's deep and it's old. The water can get very cold there, 409 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,880 but it's beautiful and you're write down by Watkins Glen, which is fantas. 410 00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,640 You should go there because and check the races because there could be Ferrari 411 00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:14,200 races. One of my really good buddies has a place called the Little Speed 412 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,039 Shop and he works on all imports and there's a lot of doctors and things 413 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,160 and they they do fabrication and they build, they redo Porsches and Ferraris and 414 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,480 all kinds of things. And then he sets up for during the season down 415 00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:30,160 in Watkins. Glennie bought a house down there and he sets up right in 416 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,799 the garage area, so when the Ferrari races and some of those races come 417 00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:37,559 through, he's there and he'll fix all their cars. And then he has 418 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,799 to move out from when NASCAR comes in because NASCAR takes over everything. That's 419 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,920 a big, big best. But usually my favorite races are those. And 420 00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:51,920 it's great wine country. Yeah, I mean it ain't Napa, but but 421 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,359 I'm just saying it's really nice, very nice. We've been there by car 422 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,920 and we just try to flight of and we just try try to flight up 423 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,400 at my wine and oh my wine and cheesebar right over here. That's where 424 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,680 we're coming from. Okay, they were from the Finger Lakes right, Yeah. 425 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,160 Yeah, they do a lot of Finger Lakes wins. Yes, do 426 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,599 you like? Uh? Our area is probably known more for reestlings. That's 427 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,680 what we had. Yeah, they were the driver little it's really good, 428 00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:19,640 okay, good, okay, good like something. I'm more of a red 429 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,240 that gets too sweet. But that's that's okay, that's all right. So 430 00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:30,519 now have you taken notes? So we've actually done from Annapolis up. Okay, 431 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,119 that sounds aggressive to me. Aggressive, well coming from Maryland. I 432 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,279 mean at times I would think weather and different things that you're going to run 433 00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:42,119 into and trying to navigate the waterways and the currents and the different things that 434 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:47,440 change. It can be a Michelle just got our captain's license. I did 435 00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:52,079 get my captain And what are you sailing right now? We're in a carver. 436 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,160 We're in a three ninety six carver. Okay. So we've done some 437 00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:00,200 different boats. We brought a main ship up from Annapolis. Okay, We've 438 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,559 done a silverton from New Jersey, and we brought our car were up from 439 00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:08,640 Long Island. Wow, so you've got you've got some miles under your some 440 00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:12,640 seaway, some nautical miles some yes, some all right? Well that and 441 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,440 this will be exciting. So are you ready to go for thirty anywhere from 442 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,240 ten to thirteen months. We're ready to go. Yeah, we're ready to 443 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:25,359 go, but we have to wait for him to retire. He looks like 444 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,000 he's forty five years old. He's he's a little over fifty fifty, So 445 00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:33,519 we got about seven years before he's ready to retire. Okay, So Bill, 446 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,319 we're all members of the AGLCA, which is the America's Great Loop Cruisers 447 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,599 Association and sounds like a bunch of nerds like I wouldn't join this, honestly, 448 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:47,680 but I'm going. You guys look like you're a lot of fun. 449 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Both people are a lot of fun. Yes, and so so is this 450 00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:56,000 agent cool? Because it's very cool. I just have to say, what's 451 00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:00,319 your husband's name? Karen? Tony? Okay, so Tony Karen and has 452 00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,880 become just a horrible name to have an American around the world these days. 453 00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:10,039 But she doesn't seem like a Karena. Put her on a twenty five foot 454 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440 boat twenty seven Excuse me, I forgot that that extra two feet is a 455 00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:17,559 lot. Believe me, ye, twenty seven foot boat for over a year. 456 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,000 I'm a nice person, nice personal cow. Now, did you fly 457 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,160 home for holidays and things? We did? We did? We did? 458 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,359 We flew home for holidays and three times, like three times, and we 459 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,400 had a COVID postpone vacation and we took that so we were off the boat 460 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,640 for a while for that. Okay, but um, thirteen months is what 461 00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:41,200 are you gonna miss living on the boat? We miss it, which is 462 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:42,720 why we you know, we thought we were going to sell it when we 463 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:47,519 came home. Um, but we just changed our mind and decided to do 464 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,559 this trip. And so we're trying to figure out on this trip if this 465 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,599 is something, would it be would it be a bigger boat that maybe and 466 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,880 maybe yeah, and then you would live somewhere maybe a little more temperate. 467 00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:04,240 What we miss is the people well we miss about the trip are people like 468 00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:07,240 Pam. And this is interesting because it's the people that we meet along the 469 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:13,160 way. So when my youngest son who is visiting me, his grandparents had 470 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,319 an RV and the RV community is much is similar to this right in a 471 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,880 way. But boats are just so much cooler. And that's what people tell 472 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,599 us. People who have done rving and boating say that boating is much more 473 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:31,200 friendly and much more community and it's much different than the hearts, a little 474 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,519 more open minded, is I don't know why that happy? Yes, And 475 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,519 well because you get you're you're living the dream. I mean that that to 476 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,119 me is the now. I might aspire to do this, live in the 477 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,640 dream. Look at this, that's it. But yeah yesterday, yeah, 478 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,839 yeah, yeah. Well here's the other thing. It's a bunch of alcoholics 479 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,240 on boats and I cannot I mean as an irishman and a guy with a 480 00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:02,160 drinking problem myself. Yeah, you could fit right in this is I had. 481 00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:06,920 I didn't know any of this existing. We eat well too, I 482 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:10,440 bet, I bet so. And you were how many months? Ten? 483 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,480 Ten? And did you guys fly back to California? Would assume a never? 484 00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:17,200 You haven't gone back at all. Just went straight through, just straight 485 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:24,400 through. Wow, it's scariest moments on a boat, yes, but I 486 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,759 mean, was there a scary moment at all in terms of anything. There 487 00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:31,640 were times that we didn't follow the weather forecast and we went out anyway, 488 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,960 and one was in the keys and I said, maybe we need to figure 489 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,960 out what our limits are. We think our limits are these waves and this 490 00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:45,160 wind. But let's go during this condition and see. And it was too 491 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:49,799 much and we stopped and we were able to duck into a marina. Another 492 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,200 time, the weather said it was going to be this, and it wasn't 493 00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:57,559 this, it was that, and it was worse and um, but there 494 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,799 were like ten of us who went out that day and we just kept going 495 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,599 and we were fine, the boat's going to take more than we can take, 496 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,920 ye and we know that. And we were fine. And we got 497 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,519 to the end of that run and we were with all the boats that went 498 00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:15,079 out that day and we were all, you know, all fine and marveled 499 00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:19,280 at the forecast was so different than what actually was. But you just pick 500 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,400 your weather days. What what have you learned about yourself maybe along this way? 501 00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:27,880 Sometimes these things can be very introspective, right, you can kind of 502 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480 really learn. And I don't mean to put pressure on anybody, but I 503 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:34,119 mean it's a lot. You're you've uprooted your life life as you know it, 504 00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:37,039 right, You've taken all the conveniences of home and stuck it into a 505 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:42,800 really tight space. Imagine if either one of your husband's had come to you 506 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,239 at some point and said, I found the perfect place to live. It's 507 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:51,320 twenty seven feet, it's thirty two feet. You know what I'm saying, 508 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:55,199 Like, I just all that you have to learn how to I mean, 509 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,000 how about this. Here's something Zimble a big thing in the United States now, 510 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:05,000 I talked about their shows on it. Minimization, right, we minimize 511 00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,880 things like we over buy? Is that I mean we are that's our number 512 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,880 one thing. It's to consume in this country. Do you find that you 513 00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:15,920 maybe it can live on less, Yes, you can live on less, 514 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:21,800 but I still over buy. Well, I mean I like nice things, 515 00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:23,880 right, we all like nice things, but I mean in terms of you 516 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,920 know, the number of clothes or what you really need or I don't, 517 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,360 I don't know. Yeah yeah, yeah, and especially us having sold our 518 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,079 home to you know, to this. Yeah, in a way, it's 519 00:35:35,159 --> 00:35:37,599 liberating. It's like, you know, we've let go of so many things 520 00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:42,000 that we didn't really need, right, yeah, yep. And the other 521 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:46,000 thing I learned was men and women will never truly be able to communicate, 522 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,000 even on the boats. But I love my husband. Yeah, I mean 523 00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,519 it's not to be a time's very trying. Yes, it's it's a Venus 524 00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:58,920 and Mars situation, but it could it also be one of these things where 525 00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:04,360 it's a shared experience that nobody else has these moments. Yeah, I'm seeing 526 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,199 Tony very proud of too. I would think we completed it. I didn't 527 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,280 realize how proud I was going to be. And when we crossed, they 528 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,760 call it crossing your wake, when you when you finish where you started, 529 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,440 okay, And I was truly very excited and proud of what we'd done. 530 00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:21,440 Yeah, did you toast the moment with like? Yeah, I would think 531 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,119 you have to. I mean talk about a true partnership, right, I 532 00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:30,480 mean you really traversed. I'm sure some lonely days probably, you know, 533 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,559 travelary moments and scary moments, right, So how long on a typical day 534 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,119 if you were you know, when I was a kid, my parents were 535 00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:42,760 teachers. My uncle had the place. He was a pilot for Deltas who 536 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920 was up and down the West Coast mostly and then into Park City. So 537 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:52,400 he was living in Bainbridge Island in Seattle and the World's Fair in eighties something 538 00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:55,559 was out there. So we went out to Vancouver to the World's Fair and 539 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,320 we drove. But in the beginning it was like eight hour days in the 540 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,199 car. Is it similar on a boat? I mean, do you plot 541 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,840 out how many? Yeah? And yeah, And it all depends too I 542 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,199 would think, like here on the canal when you're going through. I think 543 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,440 we were out on the kayak yesterday. I think is it five miles an 544 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:20,039 hour? It is five miles an hour, go ahead and Michelle, Yeah, 545 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,920 it's about five miles an hour for us. Is it the whole way 546 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,840 down Michelle? Yeah, most of the way down through the canal, because 547 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,840 you've got to worry about the lot, the wake that you're making, yeah, 548 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,559 sure, and the locks. How long it takes through the locks going 549 00:37:34,639 --> 00:37:37,159 past other boaters. Yeah, So you've got to plot out, you know, 550 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,880 your mileage, how far you can go before the locks close, right, 551 00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:45,719 and where you want to get And do you have to if you're staying 552 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,679 on your boat along this trip, do you have to make reservations along ahead 553 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,880 of time? You do? Ahead of you don't. There are some areas 554 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,679 that are much more popular and you might want to make a reservation along the 555 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,840 erie along the canal. It's it's great. There are three walls that the 556 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:07,639 Erie Canal offers and you basically just pay for electricity and it's wonderful. Oh 557 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,000 so these are all the Okay, so Sylvan Beach I'm seeing in Lockport and 558 00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:15,239 then and you schedule everything, but only about a week right behind us here 559 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,199 where And you're saying both your boats are tied up? Is your boat tried 560 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,960 up there as well? Michelle? Do they charge you for I don't know 561 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,719 how that works. Is there a fee? Is it like camping? I 562 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,159 don't know. There's a charge here. But a lot of the places on 563 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,960 the area are free. They are or it's a donation type of situation. 564 00:38:31,639 --> 00:38:36,400 So most of the places on the Erie Canal are free. There are very 565 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,039 few the charge. Okay, so it's nice on the area. So here 566 00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:43,280 they charge? How much? Kid? May I ask? I don't mean 567 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,519 to be rude, but just had a curiosity. Nights eleven eleven eleven night 568 00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:50,400 eleven for us? Yeah? Does it go by the sides of the boat? 569 00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:59,000 How much? And marinas too, a little twenty seven? It's eleven 570 00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:05,800 dollars like New York, New York City. Yeah, oh, it's six 571 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,920 dollars a foot, depending on the size of your boat. Six n and 572 00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:12,960 that's kind of the cheaper. And yeah, and most marinas are by foot 573 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:17,000 whatever, by foot okay, a dollar two dollars, yeah, seven dollars, 574 00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:21,480 seven dollars, seven new dollars. And actually if you're in the city 575 00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:25,639 itself, it's like ten dollars. Okay, so really, but you're right 576 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,400 in the heart of did you go down into like, uh, what is 577 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,400 it the seaport down there? Stayed at Liberty Landing. Liberty Landing is a 578 00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:39,559 premier place. And then you go buy the statue of Liberty and you go 579 00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:44,440 buy with another boat, so that boat takes a picture of you. You're 580 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,159 your boat with a statue of Liberty, and then you flip around and take 581 00:39:47,199 --> 00:39:51,199 a picture of them and their boat with a statue of Liberty. That's a 582 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,280 great little Yes, it's a really milestone moment to go buy the statue of 583 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,199 Liberty like that. Now, growing up down there, we used to go, 584 00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:01,760 I was gonna say, Mystic Seaport, that's Connecticut. This was oh 585 00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:06,480 gosh, but it's it's right down You could go off to Battery Island and 586 00:40:06,679 --> 00:40:10,920 everything from there, and it was it became almost a destination for people that 587 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,840 gentrified that part of the city in the eighties. Yeah, because the rest 588 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,079 of me and the kid give it was pretty rough down there for many many 589 00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:21,800 years, especially if you went to Times Square when I was a kid, 590 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,840 it was authentic. Now it's disney fied, you know, it's cleaned up. 591 00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:29,000 Oh yeah, it's clastic and everything. But it's crazy. Yeah, 592 00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:31,480 it is. Well, this is I find it so interesting and I'm so 593 00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:35,599 glad that you waved and came in. He gave me the boater wave, 594 00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:40,079 the big boater wave. How much do you split through the driving of the 595 00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:45,480 boat. And on our boat, it's mostly the Tony who drives, Captain 596 00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:52,679 Tony, Captain Tony, and he'll what's honey, great name for a bar. 597 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,920 But Captain Tony does most so driving. Okay, I'm willing to drive, 598 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,840 but he likes to sit behind the wheel and be in control. Any 599 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:04,320 boat, anybody's boat big enough to have the bridge be lifted. All of 600 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,679 you really, even you're scared?

I'll go over the bridge over that way if 603 00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,239 I could see it coming in, because I live just out down the street. 604 00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:20,599 But when it goes the best is when I see the people they get 605 00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,920 stuck at the bridge and the bridge goes down, and then they get stuck 606 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:30,239 at the tree.
