Of those only hurricane Hattie in 1961 caused any extensive damage to the Hopkins area. What about storm surges and potential flooding?
Really enjoyed the vlog..Bobby…Dakota…is the real deal..believable and smart…and if I were a Patreon..I would be appreciative of her in her B-Day suit…Carry On Airman!😎
I didn't really feel like Dakota was really interested in sailing and she was just there. Then I saw the Flying Doodles and she was in control as a pilot her personality really came through. She doesn't look like the rah rah girl type but she sure impressed me.
I'm tell you, Dakota is a pretty lady....sometimes shy....but you know what they say about women who are quiet.....silent rivers run deep...!! No doubt she's very attractive, a most welcomed asset to the show and extremely talented. Hopefully she stays around for quite awhile. Mr. Bobby I hope you treat her real good....she's a keeper.
She seems a lot like a guy in many ways in a shapely body. Very impressed with her flying skills on Flying Doodles. Very intelligent which probably makes her more geeky than feminine. Just guessing, but I’d say make up is not always her thing.
Cool little island. Thoughts of buying? Well, might as well dream big as they say. Only drawback is the island has no protection from a hurricane. I'm not even sure if it's in a known area for hurricanes. Dakota comes up with some funny one liner jokes. LoL.
Maybe the better idea would be to see if there's a similar island you can buy in the Bahamas or off Florida if possible. Have a type thing with hotel and grounds similar to this....put Gee or Syndney in charge (or even better be to have Taylor run the place.) You could be flown in by Dakota and planes could just land on the water from FL. like fantasy island...have a dive school ...swim with nurse sharks...treasure hunts... yacht rentals .... restaurant or a pizza and delivery to all the boats moored nearby.... sounds like a plan!!! Love the Island doodles name.
Thanks Bobby and Dakota,great video! Luv Dakota what an awesome lady in every way!..Had to laugh when Dakota remarked about looking at some types of seafood and thinking about eating them...i used to say the same and thought the first person that tried them was probably starving 🙂
Great Island Bobby and Dakota think about a purchase plan you can for sure get a following to come and stay B n B will be great best wishes to the 2 of you .😊
We stopped by King Lewey's last Feb. for lunch and they actually had a pretty good crowd. Talked to several vacationers that were staying for a week, and others on day excursions. Likely not a viable investment and Ray Cay is close by- however it caters to a different crowd.
Missed it the first time. Yep. That's a cuddle. ALso earlier enough boob was showing to where they had to blur it but she was facing Bobby. Lots of little things pointing to "couple" but nothing definitive yet.
$3 mil? Lovely spot, but a quick crunch of #'s show's that at even $1 mil, it's not a good investment (weather out of the equation). Nice vid and glad to see Dakota "coming into her own" on the channel.
It might be a nice vacation compound for someone with money. They could use it to host family get-togethers. You don't need to rent it out if you are wealthy. But a private island in Central America would not be for me. Living on an island in general is a logistical PITA. I live on one and everything is more expensive, harder to source and your movement on and off is weather dependent. Security on something this small is an issue too, as is staff, etc. No thanks. $3M invested at 6% nets you $180,000 before tax, annually, with zero effort. That buys a lot of vacation rentals.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Aaaaaaaand you get to hang on to your principle. Looked at a number of opportunities over the years... It would be amazing to own/live on one, but unless you have plenty of money to throw at it... nope :)
the birds are Amazon parrots specifically yellow headed amazons and they are about as intelligent as a 5 year old child and little stinkers. many will bite at the drop of a hat and are very cranky. I know this because I am sitting about 20 feet from my moms right now. we have four parrots.
@@lizardkeeper100 I get my daily dose of Tico music here or on FB haha. I don't have birds but discovered Tico a couple of years ago and I just love it with Frank on the guitar and Tico singing his heart out.
There would have to be some serious considerations as to why the islands for sale. It could be lack of visitors or could be an owner wishing to change and get out of the business.
@@Bowhunters I felt the same way, but we don't know the history of that area and the frequency of the storms. The climate is apparently changing, so previous weather patterns may not be true according to historical statistical data.
3 million for that is an issue too. I've seen much larger islands, though not as developed, for much less. Undeveloped larger islands can be had from 350k to 550k. Just saying.
@@Falstaff-mr8fk I didn't know the for sale price of that island. I imagine that's why he said something about investors and things like that because maybe he knew of the amount they wanted for the island. I believe because it's relatively developed it might bring a higher premium, but I'm just talking out my butt here.
Those are all questions that would be answered for prospective buyers. When I saw this video I immediately went and looked up the Island. $3m is a bit rich for my blood.
all business ventures come with risk that needs to be managed. the real deal breaker for something like this is more likely the cost of insurance for the island then the risk from hurricanes or tsunami. If they are struggling to get visitors the sailing doodles platform could end up working in Bobby's favor.
Dakota, How does sailing compare to flying? Which is more difficult? Which do you like more? There are advantages to both? You would hate me as a flying student. It does not come naturally to me. My instructor was always yelling at me. Hope you don’t have many students like me! Wishing you the most that life has to offer!
Maybe get all the you toobers to go in on it. Y'all could put moring balls all around it. Hire all the people that work there now and then a bunch of help. Lol a really good supply line would be next and a fuel dock. Holy crap endless possibilities with the right management!
I enjoyed the video!! Cool little island. Might not be the same here, but I know in the BVI’s most people that buy property there just go bare with the insurance. Nobody can afford it. Dr Steve
Bobby I see you use the Asus Duo for editing, it's great to have the extra screen. It doesn't really bother me that the keyboard is moved and I always use the mouse on any laptop if I am sitting down to do real work. Another sailing channel i follow uses the same PC.
Bobby, I know this is Sailing Doodles. However, sailing seems to be 1/4 of how you travel. The wind always seems to be opposite of where you want to go. I know you love sailboats. But motoring in a sail cat is as boring as watching paint dry. Have you considered a pure power cat?
Risky Investment ONE major Hurricane 🌀 and Tidal Surge Potentially could wipe it clean Down to the Coral. Other that that Valid Concern, Would be Great 🎉
It seems like it would be not to much work for drawing up an LLC that can be then owned by people with different investment levels to hit the sale price.
Looks like it is about 15 Miles (24km) by boat from the closet marina and airport option. Would need to see a prospectus and what the cap rate is for it.
King Leweys listed for sale for $3,000,000. If Bobby and Dakota are the only guests, they're going to need to drink a lot more to pay the mortgage! What a life !!
Glaciers are melting & sea levels are rising… SURE! Buying a low-lying island is a great idea!… if you can recoup your entire investment before it’s underwater!
We need to see more of Dakota’s personality! I for one (or more) enjoyed it!
Good luck. I don't think there is one.

Dakota is a rock star for sure and just something about her personality the just keeps coming out. I hope she hangs around Bobby she is a peach.
Very nice. Beautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful meal, beautiful lady, and of course the parrot! lol
Another Fantastic video Bobby! Dakota is Awesome!!
Dakota is still warming to the camera. Give her time…she’s a great partner to Bobby’s travel videos.
Dakota is special! I like her moxie ❤
Really enjoyed the vlog..Bobby…Dakota…is the real deal..believable and smart…and if I were a Patreon..I would be appreciative of her in her B-Day suit…Carry On Airman!😎
Dakota is great😊 you two are a hood team. Ignor the haters, they're just jealous.
Bobby and Dakota are still learning their roles. She definitely is PIC. I LIKE THE TEAM.
I didn't really feel like Dakota was really interested in sailing and she was just there. Then I saw the Flying Doodles and she was in control as a pilot her personality really came through. She doesn't look like the rah rah girl type but she sure impressed me.

It's always the quiet ones ...
Im here for pretty wifey
Im here for the gorgeous wifey only.
She has a nice turd cutter as well! 😊
She seems a lot like a guy in many ways in a shapely body. Very impressed with her flying skills on Flying Doodles. Very intelligent which probably makes her more geeky than feminine. Just guessing, but I’d say make up is not always her thing.
Excellent video Bobby and Dakota. Looking forward to your next adventure.
What an awesome place
You guys make life amazing
Will be there in January.

I haven't watched in a while. Dakota seems super chill.
Thanks Bobby and Dakota,great video! Luv Dakota what an awesome lady in every way!..Had to laugh when Dakota remarked about looking at some types of seafood and thinking about eating them...i used to say the same and thought the first person that tried them was probably starving 🙂
Dakota has an adorable awkwardness…Keep doing what you do Bobby because..she knows 😉🤪
I definitely think a Doodle Island and sailing school is great idea. I need 103,4 and 5. No better place to learn than surrounded by doodles.
Great Island Bobby and Dakota think about a purchase plan you can for sure get a following to come and stay B n B will be great best wishes to the 2 of you .😊
Actually would be a good remodel youtube season. Then if it turns into a good airbnb then even better.
What a fun relaxing video. Very chill and very cool. I would like the idea of buying part of that island but I have to focus on my retirement first.
We stopped by King Lewey's last Feb. for lunch and they actually had a pretty good crowd. Talked to several vacationers that were staying for a week, and others on day excursions. Likely not a viable investment and Ray Cay is close by- however it caters to a different crowd.
Sweet video Bobby looks so relaxing that Island would be cool
ok I figured out why Dakota has got me in a spell. She is not Ginger Hot she is MaryAnne Hot. If you know you know
I. Sure she is good at something we don’t know about
She’s got dad jokes! Keep it coming!
8.09 mark on video, is that a cuddle… 🥰
Missed it the first time. Yep. That's a cuddle. ALso earlier enough boob was showing to where they had to blur it but she was facing Bobby. Lots of little things pointing to "couple" but nothing definitive yet.
I totally waited for this upload! Cool stuff guys.
$3 mil? Lovely spot, but a quick crunch of #'s show's that at even $1 mil, it's not a good investment (weather out of the equation). Nice vid and glad to see Dakota "coming into her own" on the channel.
$100k and you’ll lose money.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMHyep. Based on that, you would need to earn $500 in profit every day of the year
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Aaaaaaaand you get to hang on to your principle. Looked at a number of opportunities over the years... It would be amazing to own/live on one, but unless you have plenty of money to throw at it... nope :)
Twirling Dakota around in the hammock chair reminds me of the Goo Goo Dolls song “Dizzy up the girl”
Great video Bobby. Thanks.
Thanks!
No problem! thanks for the super!
I have to say that those profile pics of Dakota are amazing. She has a natural beauty that does not need cosmetics and a pretty coy smile .
Kind of question I'd like to ask myself...
Kiwi is so cute❤
That island looks pretty vulnerable 😮
TH-cam exposure could make a huge difference, the second I saw the place I just wanted to come and explore.
I remember this island! It was on HGTV’s Island Hunters Season 4 Episode 9 “From the Desert to Belize” from 2017.
I told youse all way back 1st or second video when OG version 3 crew had departed it would be Stephanie who Dakota let them puppies play in the sun 🎉
Dakota is a natural beauty! 😍 I'd buy the island if she comes with it!
I like it when you chill

If you have yellow-headeds, are you by chance also a fan of Tico and the Man, here on YT?
I have never heard of them but I am checking them out right now!
@@lizardkeeper100 I get my daily dose of Tico music here or on FB haha. I don't have birds but discovered Tico a couple of years ago and I just love it with Frank on the guitar and Tico singing his heart out.
When was (date this episode recorded) , I would like to know cause I'm planning a trip for chartering down there. Thanks, from long time follower.
You could buy a float plane also
I doubt investors would ever make back the $3 million purchase price before it disappears with sea level rise.
One storm and you'd lose everything. Best be careful.
Needs to be much higher out of reach of waves, and a storm proof Geodome house on it.
@@brettymike Higher, in the Caribbean? 2 feet above sea level is considered an Everest class mountain.
You can buy it. I would still buy a much higher island, with the way the weather is going so crazy in these times.@@garyw8481
3 million. That would be so cool!
Bobby with the Arctic melting at a fast rate, it will change the coast line from the far North to Florida.
3M - if I had it I would def invest with you Bobby!

82 degrees. Chilly. You guys may be spoiled. ;)
Yea that would be amazing to find a place in Caribbean
Right, that's it, I'm off to buy a boat and advertise for crew!
Extremely cool location.
Dakota,
How does sailing compare to flying? Which is more difficult? Which do you like more? There are advantages to both?
You would hate me as a flying student. It does not come naturally to me. My instructor was always yelling at me. Hope you don’t have many students like me!
Wishing you the most that life has to offer!
Awesome video guys! The island would be great if you could keep enough people coming to visit. Awesome place for sure.
Definitely off the beaten path. Lack of visitors could be an issue.
Maybe get all the
you toobers to go in on it. Y'all could put moring balls all around it. Hire all the people that work there now and then a bunch of help. Lol a really good supply line would be next and a fuel dock. Holy crap endless possibilities with the right management!
And what is the timeline when it’s under water , it’s happening
I enjoyed the video!! Cool little island. Might not be the same here, but I know in the BVI’s most people that buy property there just go bare with the insurance. Nobody can afford it. Dr Steve
Ayo fishing and his friend stayed on that island it looked really cool.
Yeah buy the island and increase the beach to about 20+ acres by pumping up sand from the ocean. And then resell it for a tidy profit. 😊
Dakota is the best!!! Sorry Bobby, you're cool but she's Awesome.... The Best Partner you could wish for. IMHO. Good on ya bro
Best way to get over Steph is to get some Dakota....🙂
Bobby , you and Steph have wanted posters at the Mexican guard shack at the border !😮
LOLOLOL... Oh Bobby, you have met your match.
If you could get a dredge and add to the real estate it would have some potential as it is too small
Thanks for the video really appreciate it ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bobby I see you use the Asus Duo for editing, it's great to have the extra screen. It doesn't really bother me that the keyboard is moved and I always use the mouse on any laptop if I am sitting down to do real work. Another sailing channel i follow uses the same PC.
Well, having your own private island would give you a home base to sail feom and sail to.....your choice!!
Islands like this will be the first to go under when ocean levels continue to rise! Probably why its for sale!
Although Taylor will always be my first love, Dakota is my favorite Bobbys Girl!!
You are living the dream
Check the labor laws it could be a nightmare
Bobby, I know this is Sailing Doodles. However, sailing seems to be 1/4 of how you travel. The wind always seems to be opposite of where you want to go. I know you love sailboats. But motoring in a sail cat is as boring as watching paint dry. Have you considered a pure power cat?
Go for it!!!!😂😂...actually I don't see you living on an island Bobby....on any island to be truth....
Risky Investment
ONE major Hurricane 🌀 and Tidal Surge
Potentially could wipe
it clean Down
to the Coral. Other that
that Valid Concern, Would be Great 🎉
Another fun video 🎉
It seems like it would be not to much work for drawing up an LLC that can be then owned by people with different investment levels to hit the sale price.
You could almost chop it up like a timeshare but I bet it's hard to get to.
Looks like it is about 15 Miles (24km) by boat from the closet marina and airport option. Would need to see a prospectus and what the cap rate is for it.
Liked this one Thanks
I loved the Canadian and the American flags. Dakota is such a sweet young lady .
Beautiful place…but one thing missing..paying customers! 😵💫
Dakota is a keeper!
Yes buy it! Then rent it out for a kazillion dollars per week to superstars
Dakota, Howell Michigan's finest
Yes
I'm down for chillin' on an Island.
Dakota giving you that look😂
Buy the island and get Geraldine to manage it
Great Idea or Sydney or even Taylor ..Im there!!!
Trying to figure out if it's actual land or just an elaborate boat dock with a sandpit.
Buy a much HIGHER island. One decent storm wave wrecks those places.
You've really been marketing the heck out of patreon lately!
Another groovy episode
🤔 - Is Geraldine coming back .. ? 🤔
Beautiful 😊👍
How much is the Island?
What was this Islands power source? So many lights.
Stop the bus ! Did Dakota just snuggle up to Bobby ?
Where does the Island get its electricity from?
@ 3.16 solar roof panels
I didn't think that they could produce that much, shows you what I know. @@frederickmackay2234
Which one does Dakota prefer, sailing or flying?
King Leweys listed for sale for $3,000,000. If Bobby and Dakota are the only guests, they're going to need to drink a lot more to pay the mortgage! What a life !!
Glaciers are melting & sea levels are rising… SURE! Buying a low-lying island is a great idea!… if you can recoup your entire investment before it’s underwater!
