Best “free” ride in Texas. Sometimes I just park my car on the Bolivar side and ride the ferry back and forth for an hour or so, especially after a bad day, as the sea air clears my head.

Cool video! Can't wait to see what you can do when the cruises start running again!

I really enjoy all your videos. I have said before how well they are produced and put together. Keep on with it. I watch every one of them. This one puts into perspective what its like riding the ferry boats. I've done it hundreds of times. This let me really see what is going on. Well done dude, well done.👍

I love the Ferry ride, but 4-6 hour wait is just too much..Not familiar with either side of the Ferry Facilities for the bathrooms..Are they cleaned very often?

The next time you drone shoot Galveston you may consider documenting the remains of Fort San Jacinto, which was located on the Eastern end of Galveston. In your drone video, th-cam.com/video/-68GwAUEs_U/w-d-xo.html, at the :19 second mark, the Fort San Jacinto area is in the background. In it's heyday and because it protected the Ship channel entrance, this military fortification was a fairly big deal and equipped with multiple big gun batteries. The remains, of several of those batteries, still exist but the area is considered dangerous to visitation due to the unstable deposited silt from channel dredging.
I don't think anybody has ever done a flyover documentation of the area. It would be interesting to see what's there and there are several somethings there.
Love your video's.
