    Love it. We are just a few months from making that same dream happen. And I know my dog will love boating there as well.

    Wonderful spot! We'll have to put it on the map when we travel down. Love a good spot to look for shells and watch the boats go by! Thanks for sharing!

    That time lapse really puts in perspective the huge amount of traffic.

    Awesome video as usual. Love the sped up shots of the boats going through the non stop freight train of boats going through the MM. Fun just to watch them, but amazing how many people use that on the long weekends. Pretty much non stop all day. Cheers!

    We have never stopped there will have to try it.
    We have stopped at Picnic Island a few times. Lots of partying out there.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Poor picnic island got beat up by Ian. It was so nice to walk the trails, use the tree swings and picnic tables. Hopefully it comes back to its former glory.

    This is cool. Last weekend we went over to that Pink Shell place you recommended and we stopped at Shell Island on the way there and hung out for a couple hours and did some boat watching. It's a great little spot for sure.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We probably drove by you as I’ve been on the water every day passing there. Lol

    Ten years ago I had a 44' Regal. Powered by twin 450 hp Cummins diesels. It was a good boat.

      Funny you say that as I just found out they allow day docking and use of facilities for a small fee. We will be there soon!

  • @williamtaylor9025

    I could spend a day there a lot. Some cold beers a canopy and music and I’d be set.

    Just getting my boat together in Toms River being down in Naples a few weeks. Really got me psyched for boating season. In the fall i'm towing my pro line down to Naples so i Dont have to winterize it and i can use it down There for the winter. Love your videos i think of you guys when i pass the bear mountain bridge .

    The SeaTow Captian I believe is Captain Izzy (spelling?) He just towed us home on Sunday morning. Great guy.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh boy. I wonder if I saw you. I had a charter in a 391 meridian from Rumrunners to picnic island.

    • @thetinkerverse
      @thetinkerverse 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@AdventuresofHappyOurs Nope, we never made it that far. Got out of our canal system and crapped out in Redfish Cove. Thankfully we didn't get too far out. As I was watching your video I saw the boat and was like....I know that captain....sure enough as he pulled away and I saw the Tiger Shark it confirmed it. I was the first tow of the day for him and his son.

    I was trying to slow it down to see if I could spot our boat in there lol. We usually go along a parallel path closer to shore to avoid the MM

    Is that ever an overnight boat sometimes? Cuddy would be nice but sleeping on the open area is doable. Just curious?

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes we have stayed on it overnight. It has a surprisingly spacious berth. We did a walk thru video on it a few months ago 👉 th-cam.com/video/Pm1Eb-yTffA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ejIsgnodv2jY6G5c

  • @r7boatguy
    @r7boatguy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The water is looking pretty murky right now. I haven't ventured around those islands, with an IO boat I'll probably hit bottom! Would be good if you could share your track, I usually take the shortcut coming out of Cape Harbour across to the miserable mile, but don't often veer to the right or left. I occasionally get to less than a foot under my skeg, but haven't had to get out and push yet!

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Follow that track and turn right a couple hundred feet before the island. You’ll be fine.

  • @freedomwanderer91

    Cool island. Did you find any cool sea shells?

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs

      Lots of small shells. Nothing big found so far there

    @MarkEdelman-rx2be 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Why is it called the miserable mile?

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Technically the miserable mile is a narrow channel cut through San Carlos bay that has strong cross currents and gets shallow quick outside of channel. Busy boat traffic creates bad wakes and is a miserable ride on busy days. However, most people wrongly call the slow manatee zone between markers 92 and 99 the “Miserable Mile”, which is where this little sandbar is.
