- In this video I showcase my entire winter living on my boat in Miami. This season was a crazy one! I experienced a health problem that really changed my life but still had a ton of fun. At the end of this video, Frosty and I answer some questions that you guys have. As always, thanks for watching!
A BIG thanks to Smaco for sending me the S700 Dive Kit. This is such a useful setup and I am excited to have it! Easy to carry, easy to use, and easy to inflate. It can be taken on the plane when there is no air in the tank or the regulator is separated from the tank. Check out their website to get your own! www.smacodive....

As a 58 year old black man I have to thank you for sharing so many of your experiences. I know the fact that I'm black and 58 is irrevelevant but I say that to inform you of the reach you have. I stumbled on your channel about a year ago and this is the first time I've commented. You have added so much to my life, because of your videos I still dream. Thanks man! Wishing you the best and please keep the videos coming!
55 year old chubby white chick here! 😂😂😂. It’s not just men falling for Gus’s charm.
@@hillaryc.3727 55-year-old chubby white guy.👍👍👍
This channel making us all dream! Love seeing these adventures Gus
No kidding oh to be young again and have the mechanical knowledge ol gus has ,One has wonder how he got it from others or he got it all from his dad or just learning from hands on an working with different folks or schooling ? Wish i'd learned mechanic's instead of construction can do about anything to a house or building but not so much on turning wrenches & busting knuckles lol have done watched bout every video he's put out constantly lookin for something new & different
Gus, you’re a trooper. You keep smiling when times get tough. You’re an inspiration to us all. Thanks to you and Ethan for putting this stuff together for us all to enjoy.
well said!
Dude.....I cannot get enough of your videos.....congrats on your channel. I'm a 56 year old retired disabled marine and I'm so damned impressed by your work ethic/ maturity...you obviously have had some good mentors....I'm living vicariously through your lens and thank you for that..
I am debating on retiring on a trawler (I am 61) I have been watching your story and it's really been inspiring me. Thank you for sharing it here on YT.
I am too.
Goodluck. I say go for it! Have fun.
I'm in the same BOAT as you...PUN intended..I'm 58 can retire in 4yrs with SS and a pension...after taxes..I should have around $3500 /$3800 to work with...and if I do good on TH-cam extra income....lol
@@JimKirk1776 try to save every penny you can right now outside of your SS/Pension. Savings accounts paying 5% interest, pretty significant. Just saving a few bucks on the side over the next 4 years can add to that $3500-3800 number significantly! Look into some stocks like JEPI and ARCC for even more cashflow. I think JEPI pays around 8% annual dividend, but pays out monthly, and it's price remains pretty stable. $10,000 in that alone would be $67 a month and you'd still have your $10,000 if an emergency happened and you needed a "lump sum". Adds up!
I just did the same- in the Med. It is doable if you go through the steps. SO beautiful.
Gus you’ve been making lemonade out of lemons your whole life. This health issue is another example. I love what you and Ethan are doing. Be more cautious about the various chemicals and fluids you work around. Be very conscientious about PPE and keeping that stuff out of your system. I have a 50’ in Seattle and have concluded it’s much easier and cheaper to cruise on a cruise ship to see the sights. lol. Thanks for inviting us along.
I am in the marine business and have lived on a boat for 40 years now. However, I have never had the opportunity to travel like you. You can be sure I will watch all your future episodes. You are lucky to have a loyal friend to travel with that has your back. You must be the most relentlessly positive person I have ever seen. Hope your health improves.
This was a LONG video and a lot to digest. First off I'm glad you're feeling well and back in action. Second Ethan is the best thing that's happened to "InTooDeep". You guys are the "Dynamic Duo" of the east coast boating world. Third is that freaking 45' Everglades CC. WOW!!! What a beast!!!! Lastly if you ever do one of those "Invite some 50+ year old guy to live the dream a little" put me on the list. Enjoy and be safe guys!!!
Hey Gus, I am not much of a video commenter, but I really appreciate you sharing your health situation. That is a personal thing, and it takes some courage to share like that. My wife suffers from a similar (but less serious) situation, so I feel for you. I don't click the like button on every video just to please the algorithms, but you have earned a "like" from me on this one. Thank you for sharing, and be well!
I know this is an older video, but I just want to tell you that I am so happy for your full recovery. I am in the sunset of my life, and dealing with an illness that has no treatment, and so it emphasizes to me how fragile life is, and without your health, you have nothing. Again, congratulations on your recovery.
Yeah! I love following along with the adventures of Gus and Ethan, Frosty and Bella. Such positive, lovely guys and so interesting to see the life at sea and travels. A treat for my Sunday evening ❤😂
And here I was just this morning saying "I wonder when Gus is gonna post an update video?" Sorry you had some health issues, been there, done that! Glad you're on the mend and feeling better, can't wait for the trip north posts! Thankful Frosty is around to help you, too!
"Life is nothing without Health". 1:26:43 Wishing you good health Gus.
I've been having medical issues myself and dude your such and inspiration!!! I think I really needed to hear the quote "life is nothing without health" I wish you all the best brother.
Gus, I had a major health issue. I was in the hospital for 40 days.
It's not fun, your never quite attitude is what will get you back to good health. I will be watching your work, good luck.
So glad you're feeling better. You're such an amazing young man and it seems Ethan is too. LOVE watching the two of you doing your thing. Tx for very enjoyable video's. Love & light from Cape Town.💕🍹
Good to have you back. Glad Ethan is going to do more editing as well.
Can't believe I just watched a two plus hour video of in too deep. I have watched all your videos since the beginning and enjoyed them all. Can't wait for the next one. There better than the stuff on tv. Thanks and Safe travels.
Love boat shows especially the Wooden Boat Shows, but also cabin cruisers. Gus, take care of yourself. I hope you are feeling better soon. Take time to heal and get your strength back. My hope is God will continue to bless you and keep you and Ethan safe.
Gus and Ethan. You guys are true legends. Love ALL your videoes. Amazing that you showed the Marlow Explorer. We owned the first ever made Marlow Voyager LR76 which we loved and did 15000 miles. Please look after yourself, and wish you perfect health from now on and more long videos.
Dang Gus
Thanks for sharing health stuff is scary and its always good to hear from people and know these things can happen and to get help. Glad your doing better. The new 70 will be such a cool project and great experience.
Great if we can also see some boat tasks on Frosty as well!
You really know how to live a good life for a young guy, positive attitude and a go getter. Lot of knowledge about boats. Seems like you could fix anything!! God bless man ✌️
Gus,s attitude of every day is a good day and stating how blessed he is coming from a place of experience knowing it can end quickly
Hi Gus, First time I watched your video and subscribed. You touched me. I spent 29 days in the hospital with a lung infection that turned out to be cancer as well. 10 hours of surgery and back on track like you, stronger than before! Sold my boat but hopefully will be back soon. Only people like us know what it’s like to spend a month in the hospital. Life is beautiful and enjoy the rides!
Both of your resilience is inspiring. Float on!
Thanks for sharing you life with us. I'm stuck in mid America where there is no ocean for a thousand miles in any direction. I miss the smell of salt water. It's fun going along on your adventures, it knocked a little boredom off my day. Enjoy life it goes by so fast. It was almost 40 years ago when I was going to Daytona for spring break, now I can get a senior citizen discount at the local boat show lol
Just randomly found your channel and want to say keep on giggling!!! I had lots of adventures in my 20s and don’t regret any of it! I usually have the best stories to tell around the campfire! I’m 75 now and having some good memories is a good thing!
wOW!! I spent three weeks in Hosp. for multiple abscesses in my gut. No one has said anything to me (Dr.'s) about your condition to me but one of my children has it bad and has been dealing with it for a long time. Being I waited too long and they had to take me via ambulance I feel for you and the pain. Nothing like I have felt before and for my age I'm still pretty tough. Anti biotics and drain drain drain. When that drain is tapping on your liver and kidney, two tubes for different areas it's just well.. I still might have to go back in. So take care and be well my friend. Fair seas and following, Tom
Gus,
Just started watching a couple weeks ago. Love your channel and story. Hope you’ll do the great loop.
What an epic video, Hope you’re still feeling better Gus, and certainly happy that Ethan has your back and you never had to worry about being absent from Bella.
Thanks for sharing your personal health issues. Letting us into your life makes this all like "family"
Glad to hear you healed and are healthy. Frosty is a huge part of the channel so definitely keep him behind and in front of the camera. Living aquatica vicariously through y'all is a trip. (Maybe some coverage of the NEW annual spring break sorority charity cruise and bikini cocktail spritzer!) Cheers,ed
Best channel on YT these days. I am a life time boater, just turned 60, avid aluminum cruiser faniatic but also have spent 10 years with a pair of 466 Bertrams with Detroits, Life time on the water. I am getting old now, not as flexible to work on boats as I used to be for sure. Gonna continue living the boat dream through you. I have down sized to a 24' SeaPro with a 250 Suzuki and a freshwater 19' bass boat for now. Be fun to visit some time. I lived it and done it so happy to be following you and see your path develop.
I wish I did what you guys are doing when I was young. Now my possessions possess me and I am grounded ashore. Keep cruising and sharing your adventures with us. Safe travels.
I'm from a little island off the coast of Georgia, Tybee. Manatees were such a rare sighting, when I was little, they became my favorite animal, even over dolphins. Known as gentle giants. I'm bawling seeing this poor little one. There's not much more sad than that. I've moved away from there, but I've heard they are becoming more common up in the rivers and creeks now. Out at Sunbury Docks/ Marina, Ga., they have a Manatee watch sign to keep an eye out for them. It breaks my heart. Poor things. 😢 ❤
Gus I hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing some of your personal stuff with us. That probably wasn’t easy. I’m glad you’re doing well after surgery. My son is also a crohns patient. Watch what you eat and go shy on the alcohol. Anyway love the channel, keep doing what you’re doing and keep filming.

I’ve watched more boat shows than I can count and yours is the most fun, funnest super duper and much more.
@ 17:20 That's how you know a good friend, shows up and helps sand.
Dude ur a ray of light in an often dark world. Boating aside it's your LIVE LIFE ATTITUDE THATS INFECTIOUS.... I think it reminds so many of what they are missing out on and can do with just some desire and will power!!!
of all the youtubers, your the only one using correct personal protection equipment, well done son.
Hey brother much prayers......
You are my favorite TH-camr.
You have such an amazing positive attitude, despite the many things that pile up against you.
I pray the Lord will strengthen you, and that you will encounter no more difficulties regarding this Crohn's disease.
He is the answer.
Thank you for inspiring me beyond measure, I'm praying for your continued health.
You have inspired me to do greater things.

Gus - You are a strong determined lad, You will recover for sure and take care, look after yourself - We look forward to seeing you back in harness next time!! John
I’m glad you didn’t have to go on a bag. Had similar problems just got my reversal surgery April 26 this year. Bag free. I can relate to the stress.
Hey guss, so glad your recovery is going well. I have a sister who has dealt with Chrone's disease most of her adult life. She had seven feet of herintestine cut out, so i know it wasn't easy what you went through. I enjoy watching your videos. I love that there are 2 hours I don't mind a bit. It's like watching a movie. Keep up the great work catch on the next go-around.
Just finished the whole vid, You and Ethan (Frosty) are two really likeable guys (and Micah seems really cool too) and I enjoy watching your adventures, please keep sharing. Also that sux about the gut issues, I have a very mild case and it drives me crazy sometimes but as you mentioned diet helps a lot. I wish you both all the best, many adventures to come. God bless. Cruise on!
Gus, happy to see you on the mend, and enjoying the little things in life, such as a sunrise. Keep enjoying life. Excited to see the trip north, and your marina adventures
Gusser - I, too, have had many health issues over the years, including kidney stones (3 times), gout, hip replacement, gall bladder removed, etc., etc. While not looking to minimize any of that, your health is paramount, but I think the real key to getting through it all (in addition to good doctors), is a positive mental outlook and a great sense of humor . . . looks like you're covered!
Best to you and your crew(s) in the upcoming season. If you plan on motoring through the C&D Canal, let everyone know and I'll treat you to a few brewskis at the Chesapeake Inn's Tiki Bar!
Smooth sailing, Doug
Another great video. Really sorry to hear about your health issues but thanks for sharing. Like me, I'm sure many of us are praying for you. You and Ethan be safe and look forward to your next video. We went out last night and followed a pod of Whales for an hour.
Really enjoy your videos Gus. I am so happy that you recovered from your surgery. Sorry that you had to experience this illiness. I understand that you have a different outlook on life as you should. At your age I can understand that you feel that you are bulletproof. Thats part of life. Please take care of yourself. Safe travels Chaptain Gus. 😊
Truly sorry to hear you had gone through your medical issue. You're on your way to a full recovery. I enjoyed this sober edition over the last buzzed edition from the party in South Beach. Safe journey North.
ITD came across my feed and decided to check it out.Eight hours later on my day off I'm hooked.What a nice young man you are and talented
I love how you are so neat and clean! Especially when working in the engine room. Everything has a place…you certainly take pride in your work and have a ton of fun doing it! I am living vicariously through you (hope you don’t mind) 😜. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes
Thanks for the fuel burn info! I run a 1979 Bayliner 40 Bodega with 671s and the previous owner told me 1mpg at 8 knots.
I really enjoyed the part about the injector and generator work.
My only experience with a marine diesel was a Perkins 4-1089 in a Swan 44 sailing yacht.
The engine was under a cover below the companionway to the deck. To access the engine, i had to raise the companionway and secure it to the underside of the deck, and then open a huge, mahogany engine cover.
If there was a fuel problem, I had to manually prime the engine by laying on the floor of the head and open a small access door.
Your engine rooms look like a dream to me
I built my own water maker and I installed high pressure pumps on both engines and the genset. I picked pumps that would provide full output at low rpm and i have bypass valves that bypass flow from the membranes at higher rpm.
I was a young man once, I get it Frosty, what those girls have is very powerful.
Gus, I wish you the best of health. Your videos are just wonderful; thank you for what you give all of us.
It’s a great day when you upload
I’m so impressed with you. Spent 30+ years selling tools and equipment to mechanics and you are one of the best. Mac Tools 25 yrs and another brand 5 yrs.
Gus, so glad you are feeling better. My Mom and Sister struggled their whole life with IBS/CROHNS/ COLITIS! My grandmother had Crohn’s and had to wear a bag her whole life. I try to eat healthy as to avoid heading down that path!! Take good care of yourself. I love your videos….had my own Hatteras 53 for awhile. Beautiful boat!!
God bless you Gus!! I hope your recovery keeps getting better. You are such an inspiration. Much love from mid coast Maine. ❤. And Ethan too!!!
Gus, thank you for updating us on your new life. My youngest has Chrons and controls it by diet and he's doing fine. He 52' now but I must say that he went thru what you have been thru. Remember Gus life won't let us cheat and pay me now or pay me later but you will pay. That ring a bell or two. I'm like you when my feet touch the ground I get moving. I also know who's in charge and it's not you or me. I love your video's and look forward to more of them. On too the motor maintenance (Injector and waterpump). I certainly hope you are now on the preventative maintenance for yourself and well as for the boat.
To the both of you guys here's to a wonderful trip back North to main. I'm totally impressed with the two of you for your willingness to get whatever done. Also Gus and Frosty out here in the CA Delta June 2nd at Vierra's Resort on the Sacramento River just North of Rio Vista, consider yourselves fortunate as Gas on the river is 6.99 a gallon. Calif. is killing us. I don't know what diesel is.
Those Marlows have the best layouts of any boat I've ever seen. Those interiors took some serious head scratching. And see those floating drive shafts?
Very interesting video, although all your videos are entertaining. I can't wait for this Summer. Keep posting. Safe travels.
So sorry to hear about your health issues. Be careful after surgery don't get a hernia. I had ab surgery too and got a hernia within my first year from straining to much working. Hernia surgery isn't any fun either! Glad to see you bouncing back!
Ethan makes me laugh and Gus is so positive all the time - keep up the good work guys 👍
I’m extremely sorry to hear about your dilemma about the hospital.I have heard Crohn’s isa pretty tough thing to deal with. I’m also glad you came through the tough times. I’m at the 1:27:12 mark in your video and you just said you were coming north for the summer.I’ll think healthy thoughts for you as I’m not much of a prayer guy.Have a great trip,obviously it’s pretty much over ,with you coming North so have a great summer and life !
I love Gus and Ethan! I love all of your adventures and look forward to seeing all of your future videos.
Hey thank you for the entertainment. So cool to see you living your dream! I'm glad you're feeling better And it's a good thing they caught it And get new straight now.
I understand. I have Chrons and had a Colostomy. They took all my Colon short of 10 inches. It’s brutal but hey, we can persevere. I’m 66 now. I have good days and bad days. But you’re young. It will get better. Good luck. Luv your work and videos. Was a Certified Chevy tech and Aircraft Mechanic
Awesome content Gus, Ethan as always. Glad your recovery is going well!
Yo God bless you man I have Crohn's disease also so far I have not had to have surgery and I just subscribed to your channel 2 days ago man loving every minute of it take care of my brother
Yall are killing it! Ive been watching your stuff since you had the Albin and always find something i get a laugh at. Like someone else said, i love that you’re out there living life and having fun. I would have loved to do the trips you’re doing when i was your age. Let me know when you get back through Charleston and beers are on me!
Worth the wait. Another epic adventure from Gus, and Ethan is a bonus. I really want to see what you do with the water system. Living a dream of mine from up here in the Rocky Mtns. Priceless!
Great episode. Watching you from the UK. Glad to see you are feeling better Gus. Both you guys are inspirational! Keep it going!
It’s good to have a friend you can count on well worth any sacrifice also you need some G3 night vision on board and when you do so you’ll never be without it.Take care of yourself Gus and SAFE TRAVELS to both of you.
Thank God your still here! Now you need to take care of yourself! YOLO! Take and may you have a full recovery! Godspeed!
Gus, I love your channel. I remember first finding it a couple of years ago and you were new. You just had a couple thousand subscribers, and you'd just bought your first boat, i believe. I love seeing you at these exotic locations, but I especially love seeing y'all cruise through eastern North Carolina on the ICW. Coinjock represent, I cross that bridge pretty often and walk my dogs at the marina sometimes, though usually across the street at the park. I lived in Elizabeth City for 4 years and it's the favorite town I've ever lived in, even beating my year in Sarasota, Florida. Enjoy Miami. My memories of Miami are probably older than you, involve getting mugged, wrongfully accused of prostitution and my only ever visit to a freebase house. Completely off the hook, Miami before the 2000s.
Man,,,You can do what you want to do,,, everything you do we will be there with you ,, don’t worry about anything else,,, you will be fine,,, don’t think anything else
First off so glad you’re ok and getting better.
Love your videos and definitely keep Ethan with you. You guys make a great team.
Only wish you had videos everyday. Always look forward to new ones!!
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 You're getting Bella dialed in. Looking good , Gus 👍 🏄
This was a very good one. Glad you are felling better, I went through abdominal surgery for an abscess last year. It was no joke as you know. Have a safe trip and I am looking forward to more videos this Summer.
Love your adventures and if I wasn't 77 years old soon to be78 years old I would do more than just watch your videos. I will say that in my 30s I was an avid water skier. Be safe. 🚤
You guys are the best! Gus, glad you’re doing much better. Take good care of yourselves. Cheers! 🍻
Damn brother that sucks. I've been there re sudden nasty surgery... Praying for your continued healing. Blessings
Gus, Steve Pruitt here I ran into you at the Costco in Norfolk, VA today 06-05-24, It was nice meeting you and I enjoy your channel!
You dudes are the best. Loving following along. Definitely interested in checking out general boat repairs at the marina. Just love learning about this stuff. Keep it up boys!!!
Hi guys, you make such a great team. It's fun to see you working together . Thank you for all of the information and the entertainment!
Love yer videos brotha! I know nothing about boats but after watching your videos I have learned a lot about boat life and boat mechanics, and actually feel inspired to face my fears and get into the waterworld haha. Thanks mang appreciate the positivity! 🙂😎
My husband has Crohn's as well, and had the major surgery 16 years ago, and with medication, has been great since.
Gus & Ethan!! Good on ya mates!! Gus man. Way to persevere through the health issues Brother. I am truly thankful you are ok and continuing to enjoy life. Man, I have got to say that the Bella rose is looking Stellar dude! You guys have seemed to have really had a great time while in Miami this year. I so appreciate all the content that you have been sharing with us. I have recently been laid up with 3rd degree burns over the top of left foot and toes. Been laiod up for a month so far so this new video came at perfect timing Brother. I am so looking forward to your content of your North bound travels and your content from Maine this summer. I wish you and Ethan safe travels and keep on keeping on with the awesome content videos!! I have got to find one of the short sleeve Fishizzle tshirts!! God Bless ya Brothers!! Peace!! Sully
Good luck with your recovery i just had 4 hernias repaired that was no fun either and slowly getting better myself
I get 2.5 - 3 MPG at 1700 - 1800 rpm @ 7 knots with my Perkins 4-236s in my Prairie 36 Trawler. so you are doing great! I have gotten as much as 13 mpg on one trip running one engine catching the tide. Prolly won't get to do that very often. LOL
Been following you for a while, thank God you’re doing well. Keep up the good videos and take care of yourself brother hope to see you on the water one day.
You’re living my dream.
This was a long video and my face hurts from smiling this long. Cheers
Hey, check your prop on the new boat that could be the difference in speed. Make sure it’s the right pitch for the RPMs. It will definitely make a difference.
An excellent video! My first thought was "2 hours? Woah! That's kinda long!" But the entire tube was entertaining and informative. Gus, you and Ethan are a good team. You have always done a good job with your channel but I noticed this one seemed to be put together a little better.And at the end, I found out Ethan is assisting with the production so that must be it.
I've followed you since your first trip South in the Albin, since ,we too, had an Albin 40. Now you have a Hatteras and guess what? We now have a Hatteras 42 LRC! We head South every year from the Chesapeake & your videos are helpful to us regarding marinas, anchorages etc. Especially your stop last winter in Portsmouth...my wife always wanted to stop there but I never got a great feeling about the place and after Ethans experience, we passed on it coming north and anchored instead!
Keep up the great work and we hope to see y'all on the water one day.
Also, I'm not sure where you guys are at this point (June 4) but if you come up the Chesapeake and need anything or a car to run into town, let me know, you're more than welcome to use ours. We're on Dividing Creek just South of Reedville VA. Otherwise, have a safe trip & I'm looking forward to your next video.
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Just learned of your health issues. Speedy recovery Gus. Best wishes. 🏄
Get well soon Gus, you are such a positive person 👍
