I think that Sierra being able to enjoy the beautiful things in life like a sunset or on an island of sand or cook up a freshly caught fish etc. Makes Billy's life pretty darn sweet eh Billy.
He's not much of cook. 😁
Enjoy watching your videos. We did a bit of sailing in our days but not like you guys.we had a 16' Skype and did a bit out of Chicago, Green Bay and the Florida keys. You were just a couple miles from us in Bonita Springs. Keep it up and enjoy your life.
Filming the little turtle was really special. And such a peaceful time out on that sandbar. Wonderful drone footage. Okay - the whole thing was wow. Can’t wait till next week.
A tip for the next bonfire/cooking fire - make a trench from the bonfire, in the direction the wind is coming from. Drag coals from the bonfire into the trench, you can control your fire temp for cooking better & will have a constant supply of fresh coals from the bonfire. Fair winds!
Great suggestion! We call it a keyhole fire.
bushcooking.com/keyhole-fire/
Jetty’s ears in the sail breeze makes me happy; I can’t help but smile!🐶
You probably have already made it to the Dry Tortugas, you will really enjoy it! You will see tons of nesting Sooty Terns, Brown Noddies and Magnificent Frigatebirds. Pass by Hospital Key to see the nesting Masked Boobies. You can't go to shore, but you can get close enough to see the Masked Boobies nesting there. Ft Jefferson was built with 16-million bricks but it was never finished as it got too heavy. The foundation started to sink so they stopped construction of the fort. There is a water feature after you enter the inside of the fort (to the left), sit at the benches in the afternoon and watch any late migrating bird drink and bath from the fountain.
Pro tip on cooking on a fire, you always cook on coals not of flames,unless you want flame grilled steaks. Don't ask how I know. Those grates are great for fish because you don't have to turn the fish and it doesn't fall apart. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Some day soon I hope to be following in your footsteps. Thanks for showing us the way.
Very cool beach dinner
Epic thumbnail photo
You guys should have seen Marco Island when there were no buildings at all there. We used to go over from Miami and drive on the beach in the deep sand. Had to have enough people in the car to push you out of the sand. Shells like you could not believe. We would pick up enough to take back to Miami and sell to the tourist for enough to pay for our gas to go over, Fun time.
Had lunch while watching. The end was like a double date! Love watching and another amazing vid!
Best moments: Sierra laughing and internal monologue about the chair prices. And you two dancing 💛
That’s a killer spot Thanks for sharing
Best google find ever... Thanks guys for taking us along for the ride!! I needed that fire an whole thing !!! Poor Jetty is the most well behaved pup I've ever never met but have watched being a very good pup always... You guys are the best.. thanks for taking us along!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
From a Boy Scout; not a bad fire build!
Look at that cute little baby turtle.😳😍
That is so awesome . I miss Florida
A friend and I are doing a copy cat cruise. We were at Lumber Key in Ten Thousand Islands on May 17 when a local couple in a small power boat drove around the boat (Farrier F-22) and then came close to talk. They thought we might be you! They were sadly disappointed.
Sounds like that was your only night in the Ten Thousand Islands. It's a beautiful, wild area worth exploring. We were there 6 or 7 days.
Made me sad to see Jetty couldn’t go to some of those places…especially after I have seen photos of beaches destroyed by humans with plastic trash. Y’all are great at including Jetty and taking care of her!!
I can't wait till you guys get your new boat and head back down to the Caribbean Ed start getting Snapper and lobster cooking it on the beach on an open fire oh please hurry hurry hurry because I can't do it so I have to live vicariously through you too on TH-cam.....😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
12:00 That area has grown so so much. My parents used to take me there in the 1960's as a young kid and we would be all alone on a beach without seeing another human being for hours. (Far South) SW Florida used to be a deserted backwater!!!
The night shot at the end was beautiful
Snowy Egret my favorite. The bird with the golden slippers.
What a great spot to camp. The little turtle was awesome.
That's my idea of a perfect day!!! Cherish those moments of dancing on a secluded beach alone as much as possible because things change fast and next thing you know they are just memories.
Yup by this time next year the tourists will be back
I bet you guys are having second thoughts about the seawind?its a good boat but I don't think it would take getting winched up to a sandbar in two foot of water very well.
@@ronaldharris6569 TV
Beautiful guys thank you.
turtle so cool 🐢
Not too shabby !
So cool!
Awesome show today guys, so cool. Thanks
BEAUTIFUL !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
Great job with the video-especially on the sandbar...thanks for sharing your adventures!
That's an evening well spent.
Super stoke.. 🤙🏽🍻😎
Another great episode! Love the lifestyle!
How awesome is that!
You guys are so great
Thanks for another wonderful vid!
great video......thanks for sharing.
turtle: noooo, don't pick me up...........ok, i guess you guys are ok.
Perfect
Lovely fun as always.
Loved it ! Thanks 🙏
So cool!!!! God bless.
My favorite thing to do is exactly what you guys did in this episode.Island camping is the best! Great video as always!!
Looks so beautiful!!
Great video!! Loved seeing the pelicans.
Awesome vedio guys thank u for sharing
Brought back some memories. My wife, the dog and I spent 10 weeks sailing down the FL west coast. Nice to see the same places we went to on our small boat with a lift keel. We too had dog issues. Bummer.
Perfect day!! 🙌🏼
I love Jetty!!❤️
Very cool guys 👍💕
So Cool. And dogs need to be like you and me
Congratulations you two and I wish you the best in your future. Sierra looked lovely and Billy looked funny with pants lol
Outstanding
Cool sailboat!
What an awesome life. 👍
Love watching your videos
Love the signage!
Very Beautiful 👍🌴
Great vid. I love my old phantom 3 pro. I love my mini 2 more. Great drone.
Love the 10,000 islands!! That’s my stiletto at the 12:13 mark nothing beats sailing except sailing fast!! Enjoy the Tortugas🐢
Beautiful area
Fire good!
Such a really cool little trimaran . Back it up to the beach and enjoy :)
Very chill video guys loved the drone footage. Away cook on embers only unless using a cast iron pan I find the best. Felt like I was there, thanks for taking us along.
Good video, what a perfect camping spot you found. You then promptly declared that you must wake up early and clear out before the next day even arrives. Not sure I like schedules.
I live and sail in the Ten Thousands Islands area. I agree, isolation is good from time to time. Enjoy the Islands!
Tigertail beach has nesting shorebirds, if dogs roam around it is disrupting to the nesting birds. Florida beaches are always very crowded not leaving a whole lot of areas for many species of birds to nest.
Be super careful using an alcohol stove on a boat. I was crewing on a trip from California to Hawaii on a 37 foot sailboat with an alcohol stove installed. We were in 30’ seas for over half the trip. One morning the owner was filling the alcohol stove and didn’t realize he had splashed some down the front of the counter due to the sea state. When he lit the burner, we had a fire all the way down to the floor, but it was hard to see as it is a blue flame. Luckily we put it out with only minor damage to the boat, but it could have been much worse.
At 16:50 that is an Ornate Diamondbacked Terrapin. All of the terrapin species have become quite uncommon so you are lucky to have seen one. This is a species that live in salt/brackish water.
Thank you for the ID! Beautiful little creature.
Thanks, I was wondering about that.
I was guessing Red Eared Slider but the Ornates have those bumps along the ridge. So cute
@@John-Nada Red Eared Sliders are usually quite easy to identify, due to the red patches on the sides of their heads. Also, those are true water turtles, with a smooth shell, as you mentioned. The ridges on the back of the terrapin make it very distinctive looking.
I have the phantom 4 Pro and you are going to love the 3!!!!!!
There’s a really popular dog beach on lovers key not far from where you were staying on big Carlos pass. Unfortunately there’s a lot of other irresponsible dog owners who don’t pick up after their dogs or keep them on a leash that ruin it for everyone.
And it is often not even about poop. Where there are sensitive wildlife areas people who refuse to keep their pets on a leash also do the same. And then there's those who don't even obey the dog restrictions period. Sigh.
We have chairs just like this we bought from Amazon. We live in Portugal at the ocean and use them in the wet and dry sand all the time. They are going strong with no problems two year on!
Cool man and lady!
That little turtle was a baby Loggerhead!
How cool was that spot ☺️
You could also set those racks on top of each other and rotate them that way as well. That looks absolutely amazing. I’m sure that it tasted the same. Indeed 🤙🏽
Awesome location! Next time scrape some coals to the side, place your wood supports across and cook your food a bit slower so you can relax & enjoy the aroma.♡ Cheers!
Jetty has a happy face.
If you dig your fire hole in the shape of a keyhole you can build your fire in the round part and rake embers into the small part to cook over
OMG! I wish I’d have known you were at my island!
You were correct. That was a Lady Fish. You should have used it as cut bait for Red Fish and Snook along the mangroves. Next time you are in that area go to Everglades City. The Rod and Gun Club is like a trip back in time.
Wonderful video, we spent a whole winter in the 10,000 islands just sailing or motoring to each Island we could get close to with our Privilege 615 Cat, we would go for days and not see a soul and then once a week we would go into Everglades City for supplies. Not sure where Julie found them but we have the same roasting baskets you guys are using but they are spring loaded, no chance of them coming apart, they even came with some little baking pans, so it's much easier too broil fish on.
Magical camp fire cooking and relaxation combo. Great video !
P.S. If I string together 18 words, my wife will make a correction in some random aspect of my statement.
Him: About 100 miles.
Her: 110 miles.
34 years married. It will never change. The cure is minimal conversation.
G’day your chairs and table will hold up just fine. I’ve been taking mine on sea kayaking adventures for years. I’d highly recommend purchasing a “Sand Cover, Beach Mat and Ground Sheet” for the chairs. It spreads the load over loose surfaces like sand and rock, so you won’t sink. Mine are frequently seen dingo watching on The worlds largest sand island, Fraser Island.
That was a baby Florida chicken water turtle. And the little sandbar that you camped on was in the 10,000 Islands.
You guys making me home sick for the Keys. Good sailing ahead for you two
saw coach leggio, coach dan and coach longo this weekend...they said hi!!!!!!!
If y’all haven’t left, stop by Blind Pass (just south of Marco). We bring our pups there all the time, off-leash, and camp. It’s a great spot if you don’t mind the constant shelling tours
Billy, a little tip, go to a hardware store and find some pvc plumbing pipe anything bigger than 10mm is fine (I think thats 1/2inch), you'll need about 1/2 a meter (a bit less than 2ft) and cut it in half, also get 4 pvc end caps, glue the end caps on the lengths of pvc pipe so they are well sealed and then with some zip ties attach them to the lags of the drone, now if the drone lands in the water it has floats like a helicopter and you will hopefully get to keep that drone a bit longer.
Terrible idea and makes the drone super unstable.
@@soldozer Thanks, I didn't know that, i've seen people do this, but i've never flown a drone, there must be a way to add buoyancy without affecting flight performance, what if you attached to the vertical legs?
PVC is heavy. Pool noodles are what people use on the Phantoms so they float.
@@daveamies5031 Most people I know attach a piece of rope that hangs down they can grab.
My fish fell thru my baskets! I then used some tin foil with little holes punched in it and that was better but now they each have screens on each side that were replacement racks from Home Depot and those are the bomb, I never lose any food and they can be turned on the fire or grill.
The thingy majingy is called a braai grid and you must wait for the fire to burn out and braai/grill the meat over the hot coals or move coals with a spade while fire is still on
Awww Jetty! Yeah...'keep your dog on a leash'. I imagine places that ban dogs have already had bad experience with people not cleaning up, and dogs running around that may worry parents with small children. C'est la vie! there's always another option. I deal with this crud in my neighborhood.
When yall dance!!
Man thats the life eh. A little tip on those grates. The lock slider, if you bend it down a little bit it makes it so it can't just slide back on it's own.
Dude that boat looks like an xwing in that overhead drone shot
You are so going to miss the Tri.
😄
Great video I like the place you found to camp looks really nice and private. You asked about good places to go to in Michigan look up pure Michigan on the internet and you can find alot to see and camp
I still run my phantom 3 pro, 4k video and stable, very happy with it.
Are you coming up the East Coast of Fla? Atlantic side? I will be in New Smyrna Beach in 3 weeks or so. June 5-12th. Intercoastal at The Ponce Lighthouse. Would be great to let you enjoy a day at out condo/pool and a nice dinner. My Wife and Daughter will share a bottle or two of their wine if your nice. Be safe Enjoy and love your vids. This one was perfect. G
I noticed you have no registration numbers on the Dingy. I thought in Florida if it had a motor it had to be registered. Great Video as always. Thanks.
I miss the old 34ft trawler times.
Just wondering if that thing (at 4:37) you were pushing with your foot was a jellyfish?? If so they can sting I think. Encountered many at padre island. Need to ask locals I guess. Great video.
