3 Days, Clear Waters, and a Cheeseburger in Paradise: Remembering Jimmy Buffett

[@lesliefleming4359]

I like your boat. I’ve got a 27 foot 300 hp inboard outboard. We’ve got a V birth, and small aft cabin. Head, shower, sink. Also a small galley and TV. it’s a pretty heavy regal. It’s a lot slower than your boat which I think I prefer. Enjoy your videos. When I’m on a plane, I burn about 18 to 20 gallons an hour which ain’t no fun.😂

[@TheLetsboogiedown]

Trip just seems like such an awesome dude. I share nothing with this guy culturally, but I would feel comfortable traveling anywhere with him and have a good time. Love your videos. You inspired me to do more kayaking. Keep up the great work!

[@TripSmith]

I try to just be a good timing me.... Glad you enjoy the adventures!

[@TallapoosaOutdoorAdventures]

Good tribute adventure Trip! Yeah 'Ol Jimmy is surely missed!

[@TripSmith]

I appreciate that Mike!

[@nash12208]

Your the best KZbinr please post more I’ve been waiting so long thank you God bless

[@dang5553]

Man I missed this one when it came out.But watched it 4 times now There’s a super cool person called all the I can tell on KZbin. He has some great stuff bout Jimmy Buffett

[@AstralKreep]

Im way younger thsn you trip. 25 to be exact. But i can say ive moved from illinois to Florida in the past year and a half and you've encouraged me to go out more and enjoy florida like i should. Thanks man!!

[@kevint.184]

The boat is awesome. Would be even awesomer(haha) with a flybridge, I think its called, so you could drive the boat from up top. Something where maybe the seat was removable and the console was made from stainless steel tubing so you could fold it down and pin in place for clearance issues and travel. Not sure what it would involved with adding a second steering cable and control cables and wiring harness but I know they do it

[@lizgraves1077]

Love Jimmy too, the music is great in the background.

[@cooders71]

When I was in basic training we made that song,cheeseburger in paradise, into a cadence. I ran MANY miles, in Ft Knox KY, to that cadence.

[@TripSmith]

Hey that's cool! 👍🏼

[@saenole66]

Rapeseed oil is also called Canola Oil for obvious reasons! They grow lots of it in Canada huge fields of bright yellow blossoms. Now you know. Nice work on your rendition of one of my favorite Buffet songs.

[@TreyDavisOnline]

Right on! Fantastic tribute to Jimmy Buffett too! Nice job again Trip!

[@TripSmith]

Thankya Trey! Appreciate ya brother

[@AllThingsOutdoors]

Hey Trip. I'm just about to get my own cabin boat on the water shortly for some camping and adventure action and it's all thanks to the inspiration from these boat videos. This type of thing is very appealing to me and I can't wait.

[@chiphill4856]

Great video! Have you considered an ACR for your batteries? An Automatic Charging Relay isolates your house loads from the starter battery. But it connects when the engine is running for charging. That way you never have to remember to switch the batteries. Blue Sea systems makes a good one with a self explanatory wiring diagram on the package. The 65A version is BlueSea part number 7649. ✌🏼

[@kwest1realbadman967]

The first time watching your content you were singing along to Something 'Bout a Boat, your appreciation for music was a factor in me subscribing that day. RIP Jimmy Buffett

[@holdinitdowninptown]

Great video! I grew up listening to Jimmy in the 90s on the Gulf coast in Pensacola. You forgot the Heinz 57 and French Fried potatoes, hahha.

[@TripSmith]

Hey thanks!!! Well, I made my own version of an ideal cheeseburger in paradise... ;)

[@rescuehoundemtd]

I really enjoyed this video. Jimmy sure will be missed. You sang that song very nicely. I really enjoyed it.

[@bobbysmith7528]

The music adds such a vibe and great way to pay homage to Jimmy Buffet and the respect gain from the community. You gotta pay bills though too. I enjoy the tunes, maybe short videos advertising a new video release with tunes and a main video monetized without. Either way top quality content.

[@jasonreyes8279]

A few weeks ago, the family and I were vacationing on the sea of Cortez and listening to jimmy Buffett. I was thinking exactly what you were saying about inspiring the lifestyle and being that voice for those of us with a kinship with the sea. It was really nice to see this tribute video you did in his honor…he’ll be jammin at that big beach party when we all get to the other side! 🌴

[@wadeelliott6392]

G'day from down under trip,, Missing some sup videos, would love to see another Cheers for the great content over the years

[@slopoke750]

Have you read A Pirate Looks at 50 or Tales From Margheritaville? Both great reads. I grew up in P.C. and sailed those bays for 50 years. Anything between Pensacola and Cedar Key was home. Good thing about a skiff is you don't have to worry about the hills. Keep up the good work on all fronts👍

[@TripSmith]

I had those books and couldn't get into them years ago. I got rid of them a while back when purging my books but would like to give them another try.... Yes, the shallow draft is a nice thing to have! Will do slopoke, thanks bud!

[@ReWyldOutdoors]

I feel you brother! Great tribute to Jimmy! I feel the same way, 200 yrs too late!!! Stay out there living it for Jimmy! Idk how you got away with the music, lol, everytime there's a tune in my video they spank me! Lol

[@nedwright3663]

Definitely keep the tunes going. Great video.

[@robertparker3580]

what a great adventure and Jimmy tribute,living that great life Trip,keep up the great content!

[@BackyardDad1]

Another awesome trip, Trip. Thanks for bringing us along

[@envisionCamusa]

Trip, Another great video. Enjoyed the Jimmy Buffett (RIP) themed episode. Watching your love of the C-dory is great. I hope to get a C-dory someday but they are impossible to find in Florida. Keep sharing the videos

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Next time you are down this way, check out FUBAR Pizza on the west side of the Brooks Bridge. Really cool place to boat up to and grab some good bad-for-you food. I know you don't eat that much but they have a pretty good menu. We love sliding the boat into the slip and walking off the boat and going indoors to grab some food and good company. We moved over here in the end of 2014 and started going to those islands where you camped out that first night. If you bring your paddle board you can slide back into Pirates Cove there too. We would always go for a boat ride, maybe do a little fishing, then slide up to the island just to the west of the one you camped at and our friends would always join us and they began calling Palmer Island. LOL. Not an official name obviously but we like it. I love the name you gave the little cut between the islands. I might just put up a sign there so look for it next time you go by. Also, if you go farther west, now just west of Navarre and Juana's, there is a Mermaids Mailbox. It's an old mailbox that somehow ended up in the sound and used to be between Hurlburt and Navarre but was recently moved onto the National Seashore area between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach. If I get out that way, I will drop the coordinates. Oh, and A Pirate Looks at 40 is my favorite Jimmy Buffet song. Always has and always will. --Brent

[@tnichols437]

Subscribed for a long time, and understand why you have to do do it. But yes real music in a video make it off the chains!!! Amazing Jimmy tribute!

[@mmcleod111]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@vanwinkleproject1600]

Thanks for sharing!

[@philipedwards8762]

Appreciate the song tribute with your guitar!

[@okeebc]

You should tie or clip a second smaller rope to the end of the anchor chain in front. You can pull the boat to the anchor without climbing to the forward deck

[@TripSmith]

Hmmm, trying to follow you here.... I would still.need to go to the bow to uncleat the anchor though right?

[@kennethhardin3790]

Man, this was such a good one Trip! Thanks so much for taking us along.

Trip I love the music in the background. It's not too loud it's just right. say hi to Patricia, from me it's nice to see your videos again. I've been so busy I've missed your adventures.

[@TripSmith]

Thanks for your input! I like the music as well.... Will do!

Jimmy was fit as a fiddle and he would definitely work out with you. Have you read Tales From Margheritaville? It's a great read and a #1 best seller.

Rape seed oil is Canola oil. During WW2 it was used as a lubricant, after the war it was processed differently for human consumption. Great song and well done. RIP Jimmy

I was not a Jimmy Buffet fan but respect the tribute. To play the music or not? It's up to you. If you're unable to monetize the channel as a result I would say no.
