Beautiful video!! The memories!! I was raised in the keys. 5 generations and seeing the train bridge where we would jump from when I was kid was beautiful. My great great grandfather was a engineer on the Flagler railroad!!! Love the videos!

[@jimmathon352]

Thanks so much for the comments! I would have loved to see all your critters, especially that goat on a Kawasaki, very cool. Yep I love chickens too.

[@menolara17]

Lol keeping the dog alive the whole time that’s hilarious 😂

[@CapCityDC]

great food yall cooked. Nothing special but video is awesome as it shows how good a chill time can be camping on your boat and mixing it up in the Keys, great for ideas.

[@sharkman5735]

My dogs (4Miniature Dachshunds) love Key Lime Pie!!

[@jprice541]

Dude Great adventures! been there several times the reefs are the best! Thanks

[@davelawrence6777]

I like your choice of beverages Name on the sides of my boat Jack Daniels and below that says Just add water

[@jimsflorida1817]

Love the name of your boat!

[@randolphbehm877]

That looked like an IPS pod drive that busted off in the reef. They are designed to break away so they do not damage the hull or leave a gaping hole that sinks the boat.

[@jimmathon352]

Thanks I realized later watching it that it certainly wasn't an outboard.

[@Anishkcs]

That is a nice trip Jim!

[@jimsflorida1817]

Hi Anish thank you!

[@robcordts1976]

Jim! CRUSHING it Bro! Another great video.

[@jimmathon352]

Hi Rob thanks so much brother!

[@tracker5849]

Thank you for showing the. Potty here scene...was wondering as a dog owner how that was handled without pulling up to shore....LOL!!!!! those fish are saying...wow..that was a strange tasting worm/snake...I know..cheesy comment. But I had to

[@jimsflorida1817]

You bet! We learned about the Potty Here from an older woman living on a big boat with a couple small dogs, she said it worked like magic. Our dog never did use it while we were out but I was glad she had the option.

[@jimsflorida1817]

Ha ha it was "Cheese Wow", wasn't even Cheese Whiz... I always welcome cheesy comments! Thanks 👍

[@RandomlyAwkward1]

Loved your video…it really gives the viewer a sense of what you are experiencing. I am starting to plan a trip down to Bahia Honda State park from Southwest FL and you gave me some great ideas. We spent the last year renovating a 23 year old boat and now she’s like new. Also, taking a scooter down to Key West was a stroke of genius. There’s no place to park and it’s so much easier to get around this way. We have a pug that we take everywhere too and he also invades our personal space constantly. He won’t “go” on the boat either! Subscribed…

[@jimsflorida1817]

Awesome, I'm so glad to give you a preview! Hope you have great weather!

[@jimmathon352]

Too funny about your pug, Yeah the scooter really is the way to go. Did you go on your trip yet? We will be there in another week in our camper Van this time, no boat, but he scooter is coming for sure! Let me know how your trip was.

[@JohnBraman413]

keep the videos coming

[@jimsflorida1817]

Thanks John!

[@therusticcollectionebaysto7028]

New sub ! Liked 🙏👏😎

[@smallnuts2]

I want to live on this boat in Florida . Stay like 20 miles off shore. Come in like every two weeks for food.

[@chelsynewhall6488]

Jim, love your videos. Can you share the name of the marina with the pool you and your wife were swimming at?

[@npadams6213]

You didn’t mention Geiger Fish Camp Restaurant. It looked like you were there

[@Daniel-nx6mw]

hola pareja me gustan vuestros vídeos desde España un saludo 😊

[@jimsflorida1817]

Gracias por las amables palabras. ¡España es increíble!

[@davelawrence6777]

Nice relaxing video Jim thanks for posting i really like that C Dory is it a 22 or 24

[@jimsflorida1817]

Hi Dave thank you, she's a 22ft Cruiser model. Glad you enjoyed!

[@Ash-cy7yw]

Great video very relaxing. What was the coffee drip device at 17:45? Was it making the noise or was that in the background?

[@jimsflorida1817]

Hi Ash thank you, yep that sound was coffee dripping. Don't recall the name but it's considered an immersion dripper, "The Clever Dripper" on Amazon is a good one I have also.

[@davelawrence6777]

Check out a channel called AYO fishing and look at the last video he has out there is a new AC unit battery powered solar rechargeable sits on the cabin floor and supposedly works great

[@jimsflorida1817]

Hi Dave, watched it, called Ecoflow very cool thanks!

[@GoldRollMotors]

What was the price in marina bahia honda . ? Tnks

[@sharkman5735]

What time of year was this trip?

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

Hi Jim. I love the videos and am a huge fan of C Dory boats. I was wondering what year the boat is? Thanks in advance Captain and greetings from NC. 😎

[@jimsflorida1817]

Hi Fishbilly appreciate 7 kind words. She's a 2001 but put a new Yamaha 90 on her in 2021. The old Honda was still running good but just being cautious.

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

@@jimsflorida1817 great choice with the Yamaha. They are very reliable and my choice of outboard motors. Thanks for the response.

[@kentuckyfriedfishing]

What is the AC unit you are using? Brand? Size? Thanks! Just bought a C-Dory 22

[@jimmathon352]

It's the smallest Wally World had, 8000btu Midea. Don't have dimensions handy just measure your front window to be sure it fits. Congrats on your new Cdory.
