Exploring Marinatown by Boat

[@richardmcdaniel6262]

Nice job finding the owner of the phone. I imagine they were excited about that. Thanks for the tour of the area.

[@Ryanrock2]

The Admiral must be so proud of you returning that lost cell phone!

[@peterandersen8684]

You Staten Island guys are amazing! You took your wife to a hot, stinky, mosquito infested Florida backwater swamp and made her think it was a Spa day at a Four Seasons! Congrats!

[@admiralbrigitt]

I definitely did not think it was spa like :)

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Lmao

[@ChrisCottingham]

Great video as always! Cool phone story and can't looking forward to your next trip to Venice. 👍👍

[@skippysully]

I have one of those rocker chairs..love it!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Nice to see you and your daughter boating together.

[@havanashamrock]

Same wetpaint from Clubsearay?

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

@@havanashamrock Yes…….lol

[@admiralbrigitt]

Wife❤

[@jefft5625]

Bridget, totally agree! Anchoring there seems a little creep!😮

[@admiralbrigitt]

Ya!

[@havanashamrock]

Wave as you go past Gasparilla Marina keep bringing the local content we’re enjoying it.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We know that marina well! Brigitt’s dad kept his boat there.

[@havanashamrock]

Yes we’ve discussed this prior, by the flag on your boat we where in the same “boat” line of work in our NY lives. If so thanks Brother

[@peterandersen8684]

Is Frank Davis stil down there? He hooked me up with an unforgettable tarpon bonanza one year at BG Pass. Amazing

[@mycompasslawp.a.4328]

Your interview with Mike Steen was great. I remember he and, I guess his old friend, Marty cruising by my house on their boats two or three years ago while beginning their great loop journey. I'm between the Franklin lock and Ortona lock on the Caloosahatchee River in Labelle.

[@laramiekreeper]

At least you can see the alligators coming up to you in that brown water!!

[@andyk3724]

Naughty might have more people, however the food and drinks are still better next door. Voted the best new restaurant in NFM.

[@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy]

Water looks like the St John over here on the east coast...nice video!!!

[@DenisBurke-vb6vh]

I launch my flats skiff from the Moody ramp you passed, be careful if you go back there by the rope swing there are some big gators back there.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Oh boy! I went swimming. Lol

[@dianarodriguez9783]

I was wondering if dingy had a bilge pump once that rain started coming down. Good that rain stopped just in type.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

No bilge pump. I had to drain it by hand.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs oh no hard times! 😂

[@dj.petesmooth3576]

Hey there, love your videos. I've been following you guys since you left New York. I'm curious to know what year is your boat?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

2006 341 Meridian NSB (new sport bridge). Inboard Motors are 6.2 Mercruiser MX Horizons.

[@jeffsmystic]

Yay a stern anchor or is it transom? 😜

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I suppose your right lol.

[@jeffsmystic]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs we both are. 👍

[@jimmcc2543]

I thought the water on the gulf coast was supposed to be clear. That water looks like ours on the intracoastal in palm coast.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Any Caloosahatchie river water is brownish colored due to tannins from the trees along the river.

[@joenicoud5967]

I had a place on Manasota key outside of Englewood

[@herbertshook-ij2hf]

I want your old dingy when you get your new one

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I may be keeping it! Time will tell. I’ll be making a video on that soon.

[@danielgalyean6508]

Always love these videos, can’t wait for the next one. A bit farther north on Venice is Tierra Verda, island off St. Pete. Our son is going to college right beside the island. That area is really cool. Might be worth a longer trip for you guys.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

One of these days we’ll head up there!

[@admiralbrigitt]

Eckerd? My daughter considered that school!

[@danielgalyean6508]

@admiralbrigitt yep! He starts his freshman year this August. It will me a long drive from north Alabama

[@admiralbrigitt]

Best of luck to him!

[@danielgalyean6508]

@@admiralbrigitt thanks Admiral!

[@Sailing.Artemis]

looks like a cool spot but still no croton

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

That’s for sure!

[@EnterpriseRacing]

What dates will you guys be in Venice and where will you be docking? My boat is docked at Venice YC.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We finished that trip last week. We anchored one night right in front of Venice Yacht club with those other boats and one night at Snake island watching the fireworks. A bit of a nail biter each night with the skinny water.

[@Prototheria]

Is that little thumper really as loud as it seems in your videos?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

It’s not too loud. Quieter than a 2 stroke but louder than a larger hp outboard.

[@sankarkishorechowdhury2904]

I am from Sylhet Bangladesh

[@TheHybridCamperGuy]

Does bridgets daughter live with yall too?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Nope

[@steveprice4779]

So that is salt water there? 💧

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Yes still salty there. Starts getting brackish then fresh water past the locks.

[@steveprice4779]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Gators or no Gators?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

The guy who lost the phone says there are. I didn’t see any.

[@neilireland2597]

You guys need a newer tender and engine 👍

[@neilireland2597]

just a suggestion

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Just got one today. So far I’m not happy with it. Another video to come. Lol

[@deuce4562]

You guys are living your best life and that is great. Curious if you were in law enforcement or just a supporter. I was a city cop for 33 and someday hope to be at least a snowbird ! I need interest rates to come back to earth b4 II’ll make a move tho ! 🇺🇸🫡.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Just supporting. Several close family members are LEO or retired.
