Ahoy guys! Was really cool to find your message out there. Keep at the TH-cam game, you're sharing some amazing adventures! Hope to bump into you on a remote island somewhere for a Coconut or Rum :)
@strickandfran That'll be great to catch up over a coconut, rum or both! haha! Thank you once again for doing what you did! We are so glad our message reached you. Finding our message in a bottle, in that cave, out of all the places in the world... it's mind-blowing! And then for you to share it with your awesome community? We're absolutely blown away by your kindness. 🙏 Seriously, thank you so much for the shout-out on your channel. The response has been incredible! Your followers are amazing - so welcoming and supportive. We're truly honored to have them join our little tribe of wild venturers. We've already had some fantastic comments and interactions. They're the best! 🙌 We'd love to celebrate this crazy connection properly sometime. Catching up over a coconut, rum, or both sounds like the perfect plan if we are ever in the same island! 😉 - Margie & Ricky
@zgreyling7340 thank you and welcome to our channel! We hope you get to enjoy ours too. Yes, it’s pretty special for us getting that shout out. We hope you enjoy all 37 episodes we have created and shared so far. We are only new to this so please bear with us!

How amazing what that note has done. Peace out too! We hope you enjoy all our wild ventures. Keep posting and keep connected! Tell us where you are messaging us from too! 😊
@@Hookedonwildventures Indeed, it is amazing even from my perspective to see what that "message in a bottle" has just begun to spawn for you guys and will, I'm quite certain, grow beyond your wildest imaginings ! I am in MKE in the USA.
@AdamShaiken and 150 km offshore Australia! I must have manifested someone as big and influential as them reading out my message - how else could it have the exposure that it now has?! How wonderful is this all?! and the most awesome thing is that we are now also connected with you, all the way to Milwaukee in the USA! yay!!!

@tiffanyolive5823 Welcome to our channel! Great to have you and thanks for watching all the way from Tennessee! We love hearing from our wild venturers around the world! 🌍. We so love the whales too so if you love em, I'm sure you will love this close encounter with a curious male in an earlier trip this year. Let us know? th-cam.com/video/85gyWUgELq4/w-d-xo.html Oh! remember to subscribe too and hit that LIKE button! :)
Absolutely fantastic the sounds of the whales beside your boat. It gives me hope of how we can interact with them the next 50 years or so, since they seem to be losing their (much justified) fear of man as I watch the years pass. I hear your story about giving up documenting your travels on TH-cam, and putting myself in your shoes, I too would question it. While I selfishly enjoy your videos because of the sounds/scenes of nature that take me back to my youth, I also appreciate the time it takes to set up a shot or scene, and the disruption to the natural daily flow of things. Quite a lot of the spontaneity and natural excitement surely must be lost when you come upon something worth filming. It's fairly obvious to me that the income derived from TH-cam, while I'm sure is welcome, is not a dealbreaker to your continuing to travel and explore. I guess my two cents worth as a person probably in a similar economic circle to what you two are, if the videos don't take away from the experience...continue to do them. If they take away from the memories, quit them. When we are all 80 yrs old sitting in our rocking chairs on the veranda, all we have are memories, regardless of our financial situation. I'd hate to say at that point, I wish I would've put the camera down and enjoyed all that unfolded in front of me.
@stevehershberger2672 Thank YOU for appreciating the sounds of the whales with us. It was absolutely incredible, leaving me so speechless (I didn't think that was possible). I remember you also appreciated our nephew Zach's experience with another curious male. Ricky and I had a renewed discussion about sharing it all. On one hand, it actually spurs us to look at experiences with fresh eyes, taking the time to actually look and listen. On the other hand, it's the editing that nearly took its toll on us. We thank our followers like you, Steve that actually tell us what you enjoy. We now have you in our minds as we record and share more of these in the future. Thankfully, Ricky records me as I am - unfiltered, unedited, spontaneous (ok, and excitedly loud). I have started turning down the decibels on the clips when I know I was loud, haha. We love what you had to share. Thank you. We do find a balance between just being in the moment, without the GoPro turned on and hence Ricky and I have both put down our long lens cameras as we found ourselves only looking through its lens most of the time than actually enjoying what is in front of us through our eyes. Now as we look ahead, we are asking ourselves - shall we live how we want to live or live how we think society wants us to? Thank you for coming along for the ride with us. We will continue to go against the grain and enjoy it too! haha! Episode 38 will have beautiful sounds of kites and eagles in the background that we know you will enjoy. Oh! We are going to do a TH-cam LIVE at around 6 pm ACST today. We hope you are online to join us and say hello!
@@Hookedonwildventures Please don't ever apologize for (your words) unfiltered, unedited, spontaneous and excitedly loud. It's just the fruit of the adventure and is good for the soul, and quite frankly, is the essence of what we are all searching for.
@stevehershberger2672 thank you, Steve. I will remember to be unapologetically me. :) When I forget, I will also make sure to reach out to you to remind me! haha!
@thomasprince4992 So glad you have! Ricky and I thank YOU for your ongoing support. Your comments make us laugh as we appreciate the same things. Thanks for putting more fuel in our fire!
@deeannec2000 thank you so very much for appreciating!!! It is indelibly recorded in our minds and now to our growing viewers and supporters too! Thank you so much for seeing and experiencing the beauty of that moment with mother and calf. Qe are glad to have you join our tribe and appreciating exactly what we love too!

Geez Margie you are one brave lady.. what with draping huge reptiles around your body to swimming in baitballs rounded up by man eating sharks and ferocious Mackerel 😮 I have to ask though … did Ricky get cranky at you for breaking the car ?
@reddyman6915 haha. Honestly? I was glad Ricky was able to film me go in the water and then discovering flesh eating mackerels and sharks only AFTER I had already done it. Silently, it also made me go 🤯!! I will now tell you what Ricky said when I called him on the satellite phone asking him to fetch me as I refused to drive the GMC further "oh well, it could happen to anyone". Gee, my mother asked what type of potion is it that I use on Ricky, haha! I had to remind her that it's Ricky who cooks and it's impossible that I can slip in anything to his food or drink! haha! We will be going LIVE in about 6 hours' time. Hoping you are online at that time for a quick "how are you doing" session! :) Oh, we hope you enjoy the playlist we put together in these islands: th-cam.com/play/PLfRQGKEN7XOA-HaA--of_6bhky1TdogLv.html
@jeremy-zs9gu Hey there! Thanks for watching. Just to clear things up, we weren't trying to steal any content. Strick and Fran's reaction was actually part of the fun - we were reacting to their reaction to the message we left in a bottle! They even left us a really kind comment and invited us over for drinks. If you check out both videos, you'll see how it all connects. 😊 No theft here, just some good vibes and a bit of fun with a really cool TH-cam moment! You have to watch their Day 20 episode and our Ep26. And then if you have watched Ep37 in its entirety, you might join in the celebrations too! 😊
@jeremy-zs9gu hey thanks for your reply. We appreciate it. In fact, it shows us that you are exactly who we would love as part of our tribe. You obviously care for what is right, willing to protect and stand for it. You are also willing to be corrected. Awesome traits! We are so aligned! Thanks for dropping by in the first place. We hope you enjoy our channel too with Strick and Fran pushing us to keep at it 😊

We so love the whales too so if you love em, I'm sure you will love this close encounter with a curious male in an earlier trip this year. Let us know?

Absolutely fantastic the sounds of the whales beside your boat. It gives me hope of how we can interact with them the next 50 years or so, since they seem to be losing their (much justified) fear of man as I watch the years pass.
I hear your story about giving up documenting your travels on TH-cam, and putting myself in your shoes, I too would question it. While I selfishly enjoy your videos because of the sounds/scenes of nature that take me back to my youth, I also appreciate the time it takes to set up a shot or scene, and the disruption to the natural daily flow of things. Quite a lot of the spontaneity and natural excitement surely must be lost when you come upon something worth filming.
It's fairly obvious to me that the income derived from TH-cam, while I'm sure is welcome, is not a dealbreaker to your continuing to travel and explore. I guess my two cents worth as a person probably in a similar economic circle to what you two are, if the videos don't take away from the experience...continue to do them. If they take away from the memories, quit them.
When we are all 80 yrs old sitting in our rocking chairs on the veranda, all we have are memories, regardless of our financial situation. I'd hate to say at that point, I wish I would've put the camera down and enjoyed all that unfolded in front of me.
@stevehershberger2672 Thank YOU for appreciating the sounds of the whales with us. It was absolutely incredible, leaving me so speechless (I didn't think that was possible). I remember you also appreciated our nephew Zach's experience with another curious male. Ricky and I had a renewed discussion about sharing it all. On one hand, it actually spurs us to look at experiences with fresh eyes, taking the time to actually look and listen. On the other hand, it's the editing that nearly took its toll on us. We thank our followers like you, Steve that actually tell us what you enjoy. We now have you in our minds as we record and share more of these in the future. Thankfully, Ricky records me as I am - unfiltered, unedited, spontaneous (ok, and excitedly loud). I have started turning down the decibels on the clips when I know I was loud, haha. We love what you had to share. Thank you. We do find a balance between just being in the moment, without the GoPro turned on and hence Ricky and I have both put down our long lens cameras as we found ourselves only looking through its lens most of the time than actually enjoying what is in front of us through our eyes. Now as we look ahead, we are asking ourselves - shall we live how we want to live or live how we think society wants us to? Thank you for coming along for the ride with us. We will continue to go against the grain and enjoy it too! haha! Episode 38 will have beautiful sounds of kites and eagles in the background that we know you will enjoy. Oh! We are going to do a TH-cam LIVE at around 6 pm ACST today. We hope you are online to join us and say hello!

Please don't ever apologize for (your words) unfiltered, unedited, spontaneous and excitedly loud. It's just the fruit of the adventure and is good for the soul, and quite frankly, is the essence of what we are all searching for.
@stevehershberger2672 thank you, Steve. I will remember to be unapologetically me. :) When I forget, I will also make sure to reach out to you to remind me! haha!
found by chance , great channel
@thomasprince4992 So glad you have! Ricky and I thank YOU for your ongoing support. Your comments make us laugh as we appreciate the same things. Thanks for putting more fuel in our fire!

@ronaldneehao9723 Yay!!!! Welcome to the tribe! :) We hope you enjoy all our episodes that you have to catch up on! :) Come and enjoy the curated playlist with us, all taken from the same set of islands that Strick and Fran discovered our message in the bottle

Geez Margie you are one brave lady.. what with draping huge reptiles around your body to swimming in baitballs rounded up by man eating sharks and ferocious Mackerel 😮 I have to ask though … did Ricky get cranky at you for breaking the car ?
@reddyman6915 haha. Honestly? I was glad Ricky was able to film me go in the water and then discovering flesh eating mackerels and sharks only AFTER I had already done it. Silently, it also made me go 🤯!! I will now tell you what Ricky said when I called him on the satellite phone asking him to fetch me as I refused to drive the GMC further "oh well, it could happen to anyone". Gee, my mother asked what type of potion is it that I use on Ricky, haha! I had to remind her that it's Ricky who cooks and it's impossible that I can slip in anything to his food or drink! haha! We will be going LIVE in about 6 hours' time. Hoping you are online at that time for a quick "how are you doing" session! :)
Oh, we hope you enjoy the playlist we put together in these islands: th-cam.com/play/PLfRQGKEN7XOA-HaA--of_6bhky1TdogLv.html
stolen content
@jeremy-zs9gu Hey there! Thanks for watching. Just to clear things up, we weren't trying to steal any content. Strick and Fran's reaction was actually part of the fun - we were reacting to their reaction to the message we left in a bottle! They even left us a really kind comment and invited us over for drinks. If you check out both videos, you'll see how it all connects. 😊 No theft here, just some good vibes and a bit of fun with a really cool TH-cam moment! You have to watch their Day 20 episode and our Ep26. And then if you have watched Ep37 in its entirety, you might join in the celebrations too! 😊
@@Hookedonwildventures ok sorry i jumped to a conclusion
@jeremy-zs9gu hey thanks for your reply. We appreciate it. In fact, it shows us that you are exactly who we would love as part of our tribe. You obviously care for what is right, willing to protect and stand for it. You are also willing to be corrected. Awesome traits! We are so aligned! Thanks for dropping by in the first place. We hope you enjoy our channel too with Strick and Fran pushing us to keep at it 😊
