I've been on during Hurricane Arthur, Matthew, and Sandy and saw steady 28' but they really didn't bother the tower. Just slid past the thin legs! Richard
i have same question , who inspects the main support beams, if one happens to be in jeapordy, how would they replace the support going into the sea floor ?
I understand. Anxiety and fear are two unique quantities that cost us nothing to obtain but everything to possess. I hope you will be at peace when you watch our videos because it is indeed beautiful and intense. Richard.
You're working in a work of my dreams! The positive sides and disadvantages of that work are really visible, however I wish someday I could work in such a place too!
I live close by and have done acid and X plenty of times while on the boat. We would go 30 or so miles straight off Wrightsville beach, drop anchor and have a ball.
Say you fall off the top of the tower, is there a way to climb the legs or a ladder to get back up? I know there is a winch, but saying hypothetically.
We certainly do see an occasional whopper coming through. Not like the movies or anything, but well above the average of the day! If it hits the tower just right, you can feel it shudder!

What are the highest waves you've experienced on the Tower? I was on a cruise ship during Hurricane Dorian and we had 21 ft waves. It was scary.

I thought about that too!!
Love this place. Never been of course. And unfortunately never will thx to my anxiety But in my younger years I woulda loved to have gone.
never say never, the ocean cures some anxiety
Hope it gets better my friend

@@FPTower thank you! Congrats on your continued success!
Im live close by. Sailed by many times on trips south. Ever need a good welder and or captain give me a call.
Hey preformancemustang, toss me a text with your contact info 704-907-0399 and will do!

look at the website because they always need some volunteers!
Living in America I would definitely serve as a volunteer; however, I live on the other side of our planet😅
@@dianagamazova5859 Understood. Be safe and hope your 2022 is good! Richard
It's my dream to live out there... too bad I'm sure it's extremely expensive. You are so lucky!
That looks absolutely terrifying
New fan here, I love how you start most videos with coffee! I always kept a fresh cup right before I start one of your videos now. Cheers!
I do that in my silly recordings even: life's better with mugs. 👍🏻
I thought you were drone flying lmao, and then it fell into the water
Imagine going here and doing shrooms
That would be crazy
The sea Demons would come after you at night.
Yea That’s a fucking anxiety attack just waiting to happen

Id be kinda shitted to do any kind of psychs here let alone drink tbh
Frying pan was a good reporting point during hurricane fran in 96
Have the Davis WeatherLink Vantage Pro2 in place for this season!
@@FPTower thats a good setup

i wonder whats the lifespan of the main steel support columns under water
the underwater bit is fine, no effect, since no air to rust and are grounded, literally
@@FPTower So is Titanic, but according to one of the most recent shows; they claim some type of "bacteria" is eating away at her.
this is very cool!
How is the camera getting those pictures? It's not a drone is it?
lol, no a GoPro on a string!
Next thing you know coffees in the ocean
i wish i could visit you that would be a dream come true
Are you ever worried that the main pillars would rust away?
Aware but not worried.
Cool video! Do you ever see monster rogue waves From your vantage point?
We certainly do see an occasional whopper coming through. Not like the movies or anything, but well above the average of the day! If it hits the tower just right, you can feel it shudder!
"Those aren't mountains, those are waves"...
Where can I book a stay? Saw a documentary of your tower in TV and now I want to visit it, is it still available for guests?
no longer a b&b, just restoration now
@@FPTower dont worry people would stay in even under restoration
Nice
How much stuff have you dropped off that thing man?
very interesting. What's the average water depth around the tower? Guessing relatively shallow since it marks a shoal...?
50ft
01/20/19: Blood Orange Moon tonight and tomorrow from Lunar Eclipse.
What's the water depth underneath the tower?
between 15ft to 60ft
Wow thank you for this!!
You should have a little more coffee with your cream. LOL
never too much cream :)
can you visit this for free if u take a boat there?
i dont think so..and though to maintain is very expensive..i would charge at least $100 each one.
It's like your tower is unbeatable
Were you on the jet ski to get the waves in the face or maybe a cord?
Oda Mae Brown used a tethered GoPro holder. Way to dangerous to do by myself today
Seems like a frightening place 🙀
Is the tower still sturdy enough to withstand a level 5 hurricane? Id love to experience something like that...
I don't know and won't be there to experience one that big! Will be heading for the hills! (like everyone else should be too!)
was wondering the same thing, or even a CAT3. That would be an experience!!
@@EthanWhateley yep, a CAT 3 would be ok.
I'm not gonna lie tht would be a thrill like no other
@@FPTower yeah...a CAT3 is nothing. LOL.
Guess I’ll have to turn my frying pan into a drying pan.
En el segundo 39 se mira una especie de aleta a mano izquierda 👈
How does the 1st person get up the tower to operate the winch to get all the others up?
keith stone I jump off the front of the boat to climb the 65’ handholds off a leg. It can be a bit dicey.
@@FPTower Sounds scary
@@FPTower where does all the poop go? I'm guessing the ocean, but how does it get there? If it drops out of the bottom it might spray every where
Looks so terrifying 😬
Just looks, probably..
Aww man my coffee😞😭😢😂
Looks like rust is the only thing holding the thing together😬🤔
Esteban We don’t need no stinking badges works for us! Realistically we are repairing with new steel as fast as we can!
Hay man can I get shirt please
Images having thalassophobia and staying there
wouldnt it be awesome? lol
Guys his name is Richard hi Richard

@@FPTower или вы тоже из России?

The horror! I would never agree to spend my vacation there!
i do agree
