  • Traveling from Key largo to a Tropical remote prison off the coast of Key west. Thank god there wasn't rough water because we had a beautiful crossing comparable to the Bahamas as we did some fishing and exploring the dry tortugas and fort Jefferson. This was an unforgettable vacation boat trip which is what boating is all about!

      Hey man stay strong. Just know that you have a purpose in life, depression is a part of finding it. Discomfort is what’s needed in order to grow, in other words if it weren’t for the bad days the good days wouldn’t be so good. I can promise whatever it is that you’re going through that you can come out on top. Happiness is all based on outlook, persistence and positivity. Find what it is that makes you happy, go after it and never give up. We are always here for you my friend!

    Absolutely love your video and your quest for adventure ! I’m sat here in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 dying to get over to Florida again with my family. The Keys and Gulf coast are just the best of Florida for me. I first visited as a 8 year old kid in 1976 your Bi centennial year. America 🇺🇸 has never left my mind since. We’ve been back many times over the years. You look to have the dream life, keep up the inspiring work. God bless America and all the good people who live there !! Richard

    You are blessed beyond words can explain. Cherish the moments you have with your parents cause once they’re gone it will be all about the memories. I hope someday to also make it down to the Tortugas. Funny thing is me and my family did a lot of fishing and exploring the keys as kids same with my wife and her family. Keep up the great videos love them.

    I loved the Dry Tortugas when I was there about 30 years ago. My high school took 20 of us to camp for 4 nights in the beach. The boat took us fishin' and I caught the biggest fish, a fat mutton snapper. Good times! The lobsters were huge, plentiful and protected unfortunately. It's a beautiful place with lots of fish and the fort is awesome.

I know you guys provide some useful tips in most of your videos in regards to fishing; however, a video on specifically on fishing tips, bait, and tackle would be great for me. You have solidified yourself as a legitimate knowledge source so it would carry more weight than the random videos I find on TH-cam. Can't wait to take the trip from Tampa Bay to Key West!
