In 2015 I moved to Massachusetts. Before that I used to live in Inglewood and grew up in Westchester. For years my sister and I used to go down to the marina every summer and ride the water taxis and go eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful Carefree memories. I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you very much

Hi Michael, Thank you so much for making this video. I’m sitting here at my home here in Texas with my 4 German Shepherd’s. watching this beautiful video and the scenery. I love the water. I grew up on the Jersey shore and when I was in the Air Force, I was on or should I say the close to the San Francisco Bay at TRAVIS Air Force Base and spent a lot of time in Florida very close to the ocean, I guess that’s why I was born an Aquarius the water sign anyway I love your videos. They’re very relaxing very entertaining and just plain relaxing. Thank you MIKE for making peoples life more fun. You’re a good soul. Can’t wait to meet you someday and get your autograph and get a picture with you peace friend.🇮🇹💚🤍❤️🇺🇸🌎🙏

Used to work near Marina Del Rey and visited the location monthly. Took my family there a few times but only rode the boat ride once. The boat feel like it was going to flip over so the kids never wanted to ride it again. Did road a big yacht there back in 2007 for a company party and it is amazing. I really love the place and it is very relaxing.
