I’m sorry. Was it a car or scooter that got you? I noticed that’s cars, trucks, and vans play by their own rules unfortunately.

@EnjoyingRetirement scooter with 3 people on it. Luckily, the important parts were spared and I didn't hit my head.

Great, have fun. I hope it’s still as good as you remember.

Hi, thanks for watching. It’s an amazing show. Traffic can be pretty bad on the first weekend, so be prepared for that. Have fun.

@ thanks for the heads up

Hi, thank you. I’m heading back to Nassau next month, is there anything else you would like to see a video about? Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and left a comment.

Hi John, thanks. I’m calling this a once in a lifetime experience. But, if I ever do go back it will be in winter. 4 times the number of alligators in Florida as there are deer in Maryland. Incredible. I’m glad I helped you get thru the day :)

It was a great time. It was my first time on a party boat and I didn't know what to expect. I figured there may be others in the same position who might enjoying seeing how it went and how it worked. I will be back, but next time with a cooler and my own rig with mono. Hopefully during a yellowtail snapper run. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Excellent idea 👍

Hi, thank you. I appreciate the comment. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the falls, they’re beautiful.

Hi, they sure are. I can’t imagine how much work went into them all. Fortunately they were held on by iron nails. When the ship sank, the nails rusted thru, and the carvings fell into the mud which helped preserve them so we can admire them today. If the Vasa hadn’t sunk as it did, it would have ended up being just another ship that served and was repurposed or destroyed in the end and we would never have seen it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Hi, thanks. Yes, it was day before yesterday. I didn’t think about temperature at all, it didn’t cool down noticeably at all. About 87 on the ground and I wore shorts and a t shirt and felt fine. I hope this video helps other people know a bit more about what the whole process is like. Definitely an incredible experience.

Hi, thank you. The goggles are safe, we took them off after the free fall portion. They are just needed during free fall due to the velocity you’re going. After that they come off and you just enjoy the view. Thanks for watching.

It was. I highly recommend it. If not Key West, then wherever you can. The Florida Keys are just such a beautiful spot. This company is a first class operation. I will be back.

It really is awe inspiring as you walk through those doors and see it for the first time. I hope my video did it justice and brought back some good memories for you. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for watching, it’s an amazing place.

Hi, thank you. It’s always a challenge to know when to go short and sweet and when to go more into detail. This ship is so amazing that I thought it deserved longer and more detail. I’m glad you liked it and let me know.

Hi, I use 3 on the sides and about 10 on the floor.

Hi, thank you very much for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, thank you very much. It’s an amazing ship and a wonderful museum.

Hi, we rented everything but mask, fins, and snorkel the first time we went with them, in this video. The next time we took our own gear. Their rental gear is about the same that you will find on most shops in the area, and Florida. Decent and serviceable. Not great, but I didn’t see any problems or feel any concern about using it. They do like weight belts instead of internal weights though. I had rash guard pants on the second trip and couldn’t get the weight belt to stay in position with the nylon pants, but otherwise all was good. I’d say that if you’re doing multiple days of diving bringing your own gear would be good, but if it’s just one day then you should be fine with their rental equipment. Have fun, thanks for watching.

@@EnjoyingRetirement Thanks for sharing, most helpful.

:) it's actually pretty efficient once you get used to just walking out in heavy traffic

Hi, yes, you’re right. Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. In most of my videos I try to answer the questions I had before I went there thinking that others would find it useful. I'm glad to know that it's helping you. It's a beautiful place and an enjoyable hike. I hope you get some great fall colors.

Hi, I agree with you on treble hooks. They are awful to get out of a mouth of an undersized fish. Almost always results in a dead fish. I have seen that Mepps makes a single hook Aglia spinner now, but they can be hard to find. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Best wishes.

Hi, thanks for watching. It’s a very nice city, we really enjoyed our time there.

Hi John, it’s a big amazing world out there. I’ve got one more video I want to make about Oslo, then I’m going to do a full video on the Vasa. It’s an incredible ship.

Hi, thanks. I sure wish we had trains like they have in Europe, it would change how I travel. I just got back from Chicago and the L trains just aren’t the same :)

Hi. The d rings and their mounts have held up without any problems. This kayak is incredibly well put together. I haven’t seen any issues with any of the seams or glue. It still works great. Thanks for watching.

Glad I could help :) thanks for watching.

I’m sorry to hear that. All the employees I saw were working pretty hard taking care of the large crowds that come through on the weekends.

Hi, thank you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Hi, I agree. It’s a beautiful place. I love that you can walk or ride the tram just about everywhere. There’s much more that I didn’t get to see or show, maybe on another trip. We really enjoyed our time in Sweden and Norway. A question since you live there, is there a story behind the mural of the women with animal heads?

Hi John, I agree. Where’s the sense of accomplishment if you never touch the bait or the fish, but to each their own. I just want to help people not be surprised after they pay quite a bit of money for the trip.

Hey, it’s a lot of fun. But like all fishing everyday isn’t like the one I filmed. I got very lucky with a beautiful day and abundant fish. But even if there hadn’t been fish, just floating around in the warm water with the opportunity is a blast all by itself. I hope you get a chance to do it. Here’s a thought from my older age: no matter how old you are you will always look back and wish you had done more 10 years ago.

Yep, I think she’d call that a once in a lifetime experience :)

Hi, if we were on a private charter I may have asked about the flounder and one dogfish. But since it was a group and they know their routine I didn’t ask. Maybe next time.

Hi, thank you. I was so surprised and pleased to discover that the Kon Tiki museum was there and it is so well done. Great memories of reading the book as a kid and imagining the adventure. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, thank you. Yep, I messed that up. Since then I’ve seen real manta rays and the difference is huge. I wish I could change the video but short of taking it down and releasing it as a new video I’m just going to live with it. I will change the notes to make it clear there. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You’re welcome, glad it helps. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Hi, thanks. I’m glad it helps. I figured that if I had questions after doing a decent amount of research, then others probably do as well. Thanks for the feedback, take care.

Hi, thank you. Thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you have many great and safe trips on your kayak. Tight lines!

Hi, thank you. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the feedback.

Well, DNA sequencing and analysis didn’t exist in 1947. It does now, and it supports pre columbian contact between Polynesia and South America. Plus, I enjoy the sweet potato evidence.

Hi, I haven’t seen Black Sails, but I need to. Sounds like it’s set right there where the museum is. I’m glad you enjoyed my video.

I hope you have a great time. It sure is beautiful country. If you get a chance to go fishing I hope you have a wonderful time and great success.

Thanks, it sure is.

Hi, nope I haven’t made it down there yet. Have you? I’ve heard good things about that area, maybe I will try it soon. Well, as soon as it cools off a bit.

@@EnjoyingRetirement I like fishing there. I normally paddle across Whitehall Bay to get to it, but I'd like to take my son and I would likely be towing him behind me on his 6.5' kayak. I figured maybe if I hug the shoreline coming down from SPSP it won't be rough on a day with low winds.

I’ve had good luck paddling down the side from Sandy Point. I haven’t gone that far down, but there’s a nice small bay followed by a beautiful sandy beach. Have fun and best wishes.
