Florida Mini Loop Ep14 - New River, Fort Lauderdale

[@seancrouse9623]

Beer Can Island? That sounds like the happiest place on earth!

[@bktime3331]

Could spend a long weekend there watching boats go by!!!

[@BoatingJourney]

Welcome to our neighborhood! Wish we knew you were here!

[@runltdan]

Great job on the big boat 180! ⚓️

[@youp9546]

For anyone watching this video and who does not own a boat, take the Jungle Queen tour of the New River. You will get the same sights. Enjoyed the video.

[@sadlerlove]

You guys capture the true charm of boating. Thanks so much.

[@comeandtravel1]

I haven't been to Ft. Lauderdale for 30 years and it has really changed...wow!

[@tech-test-break-fix]

I grew up on that river in the 80's. Wow has it grown up.

[@runltdan]

Beautiful part of the journey….stunning homes along the way. Never seen the yachts being towed like that. Coooool. Starting the video with us looking thru the front window really puts us in your perspective. It was especially cool because of the area you were in….beautiful homes, etc. Live Every Day🇺🇸⚓️

[@darrellyoung9586]

Such a cool video..When I go to FL, I want to sit at that dock and watch the boat traffic. That New River has boats and homes galore

[@Nezzer57]

Fascinating, so many mega yachts... Nice to see, but good to leave behind too lol 👍

[@Skipper864]

Well, well, well. That's the Duffys Norma and I ate at while on our visit to FL with yas. This video brought back great memories!

[@AlbertKalinin-p2i]

[@rexphinney3599]

Great episode guys. Thanks for documenting this adventure for us.

[@freedomwanderer]

Hey, hey, Happy Hours back on the loop. Let's go...

[@hothsurvivor]

So glad to see a new video up this morning! My wife and i are looking at sedans and aft cabins, and watching your videos makes us so excited for the future! Plus, we get a fix to hold us over till then, lol. Good boy Matey!

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Good luck!

[@rt8532]

I’m hoping to get a boat in the next couple of years, and I watch a TON of videos like this. Gotta tell ya…I truly enjoy watching you two the most! I think it’s because I’m a Philly guy, so I love and hate your New York/New Jersey accent at the same time, cause I’m a Philly Guy! But I still LOVE New York/NJ!!!😂😂😂 Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep watching!!! Stay Safe!!!🤗🤗🤗

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Thank you and “fugetaboutit”. 😂

[@rt8532]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Yo!!!!!!! Rocky!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@Scremndemon1]

With the Nomad Blue dive system with a emergency micro refillable dive tank bottom cleaning, emergency prop inspection as well as recreational diving without clunky tanks and expensive refilling is awesome

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I’ll check that out!

[@Agua-Sala]

Very nice!

[@r7boatguy]

Not sure who owns it now, but the house on the left at 4:02 was owned by Wayne Huizenga (Waste Management, Miami Dolphins owner etc). He owned several properties along this stretch and apparently used to annoy neighbors by flying in on his helicopter. You often get a good rundown of the properties if you take the water taxis.

[@gator-ii7sw]

good job captain,,, its tight in there

[@size-matters]

Those dive platforms are at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. My aunt worked there in the 1970s. I use to swim there and jump off the (lower) platforms when I was a kid.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Thank you!

[@craigc.7033]

Beautiful !

[@tonybaymont9134]

LOVE the New River tour.

[@Scremndemon1]

I love watching you vids, when I retire I’m getting a piece of property along a major river leading to the sea. Will figure out a way to haul a live aboard out to do maintenance during the summer then when fall comes I’m gone down south. Have a garden that supplies my veggies and stock up on meats. Of course what I catch as I travel. 45’ or 50’ lol and also I’m a mechanic so no worries.

[@Buzzinho-pn6rf]

Awesome real estate there! I'd be afraid to paddle a canoe in some of those tight places.

[@joeciprietti]

Looks awesome!

[@stroguy]

Are you guys doing the loop again? Are you going around again? Just saw you at home during the storm. Man that’s cool to do another loop. Just joshing. Thanks for another update to the looper.

[@Scremndemon1]

Hey Happy Hours, I get these Tovala meals and I’ve got there special oven. The oven is great for allot of things. They will ship them to you and man they are awesome. All fresh food

[@rogerv1405]

What a trip ……….. very different style of boating in the south compared to PA boating.

[@Bahamas-Grant]

Look like you turned right before Davie blvd bridge and my dock... Hope you have a great trip. Should jump over to the Bahamas. If you come over next year let me know as we have a group of cruisers (10 yachts - 40-60 feet) that we do 15 days in the Bahamas every year leaving right around July 4th. You both should join us, 2025 will be back in the Exumas

[@touchdown15nichols72]

Hi from the Cape. You guys look so relaxed and happy. I saw the one glimpse of the sky when you were first underway. Saw some pretty red. What's the saying? "Red sky in morning sailor take warning. Blue skies is sailors delight." Did you get any storms later that day?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morn sailors be warned. I don’t recall a storm later. Lol

[@jackolmstead2566]

Just a note....Pirate Republic does specialize in different rums, but they will not make a rumrunner drink!

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Wow that’s weird!

[@fierceflyer5]

Always think how funny it is to see all the mansions and never anyone in them. Guess when it’s your 3rd or 10th house they don’t get used much

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We thought the same thing.

[@johncarter1137]

Where's all the money come from to allow the purchase of all those mega expensive boats? I'm not jealous, just curious.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Good question but a lot of money in Fort Lauderdale!

[@Scremndemon1]

Well these are your CEOs of expensive companies, give them tax breaks and allow them to expand their business and make money and all that money will eventually filter down to the little guy lol

[@fredbrillo1849]

The construction you mentioned at the Lauderdale marina is for temporary docks for the Boat Show in October. They start early.

[@size-matters]

That’s what I think all the time when I see that stuff.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

@fredbrillo1849 wow. That’s quite the undertaking! We hope to be there this year!

[@Rottieman-h6d]

Hope your pup doesn’t get a bladder infection from holding too long. 😮

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

Bridget needs a mega yacht….. Typically, any boat over 100ft. is required to get a tow required by insurance companies on the new river

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Awesome info thank you!

[@kelseypfeifer4265]

What's provisioning? I assumed grocery shopping from how you were talking, but when I searched the web it mentioned IT infrastructure.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Provisioning is stocking up the boat - so yes. Grocery shopping. Lol

[@BLACKWOLF-1911]

It's terrible how people that live down here have to struggle to survive.

[@NicholasFick]

Where are the Miami videos

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Coming soon.

[@derjaeger3321]

This is a very rich country. There a millions of millionaires in fact there are 18,900,000 millionaires in the US. And not all of them are simply millionaires. Also many of those Yachts are used for charter to defer the carrying costs, as well as tax write-offs. Business people are business people, you know.

[@Scremndemon1]

Check this out talk about a game changer for bottom cleaning and other uses

[@Scremndemon1]

2 people 4 days of great meals you pick them $110

[@mikefleming8352]

If you want your dog to use the pee pad,you take a leak on it with him there so he knows it’s OK for him.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Tried that. Lol

[@jamesonpace726]

FLA exemplifies almost everything wrong with Murca & everything right, too....
