[@mikeglynn5824]

Great vid ty wow that is devastating I was down after it was hit I have a condo in ft Myers You have to see it w your own eyes to believe what u r taking in! God bless all affected!

[@KNRAdventures1]

We have not been to Fort Myers but have seen several KZbin videos. It’s shocking. I hope your condo survived

[@alkennedy1124]

You need to watch your vlogs before you put them out so you can edit out the sea sick parts on camera work , and you then will see what not to do with your camera movement ok ✅ thanks BigAl California

[@KNRAdventures1]

Will do, always looking to improve

[@judyfarmer2962]

Thank you for taking your time to show us the damage Ian did to FL and any recoveries to come.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you for watching, we will continue to ride around both by car and boat and show as many updates as we can

[@alkennedy1124]

Those little bungalows on wheels are called tiny homes and it is a huge Business people are selling there million dollar homes running around the country in a little tiny homes, lol way out there , thanks BigAl California

[@KNRAdventures1]

These are the only ones I ever saw other than an RV of course.

[@ariesapparel5944]

So Heartbreaking. I used to go Kayaking at Gulf Coast Kayak right before the bridge. Then shop in Matlacha.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Yes they sadly got hit very hard. But businesses are opening

[@jimkugler5725]

Great job well done pretty much it is a waste land. You guys need to get a much better microphone for sound pickup

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thanks, perhaps in the future we will. Thank You for watching

[@victoriasmith8814]

Depressing to watch, with Blessings going out to the folks who lost everything…❤️

[@KNRAdventures1]

Very sad. But they are working quickly. They had that road opened up fast considering it was washed out by both bridges

[@dougmalinowski3392]

I've lived in Punta Gorda and watched this boat graveyard grow and grow

[@KNRAdventures1]

I bet it’s been weeks now I bet it’s packed.

[@bethesdabodyworks]

What's happened to all the animals???????????

[@KNRAdventures1]

I have no idea

[@richardsebul8337]

Ok..the misses needs to speak up...can barely hear her

[@KNRAdventures1]

Will work on that in the future

[@davebaker489]

As someone that just loves Matlacha and Pine Island I thank you for the time spent taking this video. Like you we've eaten and shopped in Matlacha and loved visiting. We stayed in Pine Island (backed onto the golf course). I actually feel pain when I see the destruction. The restaurant and marina in Cape Coral had the best food and views. Just loved the Nathans Hot Dog there. Thanks. Dave

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you for watching. It’s quite shocking to see in person. But they are moving quickly to get back to normal. They had the road and bridges reopened very quickly.

[@KarensKaraoke1]

Those are the lucky ones that have RVs to be able to go to. So much distruction. The boats most of them looked fixable. Didn't see big holes. Granted if they are insured, will probably be totalled. We need to stop being a throw away society. Fix what we have. One piece at a time. Thanks for the update

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank You for watching!

[@harrybriscoe7948]

It looks like a boat junk yard for parts

[@KNRAdventures1]

It may very well become just that

[@yoyo8303]

THEY WILL BE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC.

[@KNRAdventures1]

I’d like to go to that auction

[@daviddiefenbaugh2536]

I live in nw cape. Where is that boat graveyard located? Thanks

[@KNRAdventures1]

Pretty sure this is it. I didn’t mark it when I was there. But 98% sure this is it. Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/NP9w6FWDTPZecktaA?g_st=ic

I been working on this island since after the hurricane hit it. We been tarping houses

[@KNRAdventures1]

MATLACHA is in between Pine Island and Cape Coral

[@KNRAdventures1]

I’m sure you have seen so much more than we have. Glad you’re helping out. Thank you for watching!

[@joed3106]

@@KNRAdventures1 I seen enough mold in peoples houses then I ever wanted to see. I enjoy when the people coming together here and helping each other. Even more when I received hugs from people just makes it worth more then the money we get paid.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Yeah that mold starts quick. Your doing a great service that is very appreciated. Thank you!

[@MrPolymers]

I own a second home in Bonita Springs. We are near I-75 and elevated. The fact it was built in 2016, they did a good job on the elevation. No damage but a few bent Palm Trees. I don't think Insurance companies or the State should/would rebuild in these low areas..

[@KNRAdventures1]

I agree, I think they should be raised like the Jersey shore did back after Hurricane Sandy.

[@markwetherington5547]

What about cabbage key? Did it make it through? Cabbage Key is a restaurant off coast of pine island, I worked there at my teenage years.

[@KNRAdventures1]

I have not heard a word about that area and have not personally made it up that way yet., sorry

[@High-Alpha]

I was wondering about that too. Been there many of times our boat and put plenty of dollar bills on the walls of the restaurant. I can't imagine it faired very well. The first recorded landfall of Ian was in Cayo Costa which is basically right next to Cabage Key

[@Golfing422]

Been there, tried to dock but got ignored because my boat was as a beater, lol. I wasn’t hoity toity enough.

[@kellyg9237]

Cabbage Key survived the storm with some damage but they are open again and people are working hard to get back to some normaliy. The sister restaurant Tarpon Lodge is open too.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Great news, thank you

[@PacoOtis]

Bravo! Very well presented in a quite objective manner! I would say you should be reporters, but they tend to be overly dramatic and a bit much. If only there were some sort of equipment that could have guided the boats to proper areas as the water subsided.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you very much for your kind comments and thank you for watching.

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

Very glad to see this video. We weren't able to visit Matlacha very often, but we loved staying there. As you almost to the Drawbridge the Huge Red Roof Building that you shown the before photo is where we rented our little cabin from. Our was on the other side of Bert's Bar. Literally across the street. We had a great location there. A beautiful cottage, water out the back sliding doors, Bert's across the street. Great food and fun. A seafood shop a couple of doors down. So many joys. So many memories. Thank you for your time.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it. Yes it’s a very nice area hopefully it can be put back similar to the way it was someday.

[@brianfreeman5208]

Bert’s and the small motel are next to the bridge. The area you first pointed out as Bert’s, was not the actual location. It and motel were across from the gift shop. A pedestrian crossing marks the location.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thanks for the correction afterwards we thought we were off a little.

[@CaptainGiovanni]

As a Michigander I'm very sad at what I see as I used to come down there every year going to all of those places you have shown. Thank you for do such a great job of recording this and sharing it. It is just unbelievable the devastation that took place. From Berts to so many other places that we used to go to all gone.....so sad.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Yes that area got hit especially hard as did Fort Myers. But they are working hard to restore things. Thank you for watching.

[@nancyaquilina1982]

Where in cape coral is the boat grave yard. How is the area of burnt store rd and pine island road. We just sold a canal lot a few months before ian.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Should be right around here. Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/RxUHaDEAMfYLTvqa9?g_st=ic. (26.7806463, -82.0359873)

🤷🏼‍♂️

[@PAUL-A]

Thanks for the video, wow what a mess, but looking better than a few weeks ago. By the way it's spelled "Matlacha".

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you for watching, oops my mistake. Thank you for letting me know

[@docdurdin]

I've never seen a boat morgue.

[@KNRAdventures1]

👍🏻

[@EDavis0111]

Most likely those are totaled boats that are awaiting insurance claims and salvage.

[@KNRAdventures1]

That and some that were just found in odd places and unsure who owns them yet

[@kennyrichard2971]

Awesome seeing Florida citizens not wasting any time in cleaning up and repairing

[@KNRAdventures1]

Honestly, you’re not kidding, these people are moving quickly. Being new to Florida (2.5 years) I’m impressed

[@jamesbordonali8858]

do you know the exact location for the boat graveyard?

thank you I used to live in this neighborhood in 2014

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank You for watching

[@kimkelly-kline3768]

I don't understand if you can't go in...how can you find your lost boat?

[@KNRAdventures1]

Good question. I am assuming they are copying down registration numbers from the boats hull and keeping a record and perhaps the Police are running the registration for the registered owners and notifying them. That’s my guess.

[@kimkelly-kline3768]

@@KNRAdventures1 yeah,now that sounds legit..Good Luck to everyone..

[@iansmartel5473]

If you had a drone with you top down shot would have been nice.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Yes we don’t have a drone, maybe in the future if the channel keeps growing. Thank you for watching

[@scootsrandomjourney3535]

Here is a drone shot I took a couple of days ago of the 'boat graveyard', it's a bit low because it's right next to a cell tower so it gets a little sketchy with remote control signal interference. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaq9mapugKx-jJY

[@KNRAdventures1]

Very nice, thank you for sharing that. Nice footage!

[@yoyo8303]

THESE TOO SHALL PASS AND IT IS FOR ALL OF US JUST A REMINDER.

[@markkirchman2864]

It’s helpful to say where exactly you are and what direction you are going early in the video

[@KNRAdventures1]

Matlache and Cape Coral Florida where Hurricane Ian hit. We traveled west into Matlache and turned around and traveled back east to Cape Coral. Hope that helps.

[@crand20033]

Is a boat another insurance loss?

[@KNRAdventures1]

Some maybe a total loss. Some may be repaired. Insurance is not mandatory on boats unless you have a loan on it.

[@crand20033]

I hope they didn't have a zoo.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Not that I am aware of

[@marchamilton1356]

Nice job just getting in the way. More rubber neckers!

[@KNRAdventures1]

Ha, I was not in a single persons way. You don’t hear any horns blowing at me. Have a nice evening

[@mikeglynn5824]

Take a seat Marc some who own homes in the area and are not there want to see what is going on! Cheer up bro and don’t be an a hole!

[@marchamilton1356]

Like I said….

[@veronicaroach3667]

Well it's informative to the rest of us who can learn from the mistakes of those who thought this could never happen to them! Also this is history which can be used by other people to see what happened in years to come. So I say thank you to the guys who made the video, we are all in sympathy with those who have lost their homes, and we all hope they can eventually get back to a good life. Wanting to understand what happened to others is a normal human reaction!

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you! Very kind of you to say

[@georose33]

The red building at the base of the bridge was a motel, not a restaurant. Which was for sale before Ian.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Really. I did not know that we have driven past it many times always thought it was a restaurant. Thanks for the info and for watching

[@cricketcopperlocks8274]

It was called the Bridgewater Inn about 15 or 20 years ago
