Dry Tortugas Loggerhead Key Boat builders need to see this and learn how to build a NONCrooked boat

[@rudyu2767]

In 1994 my father drove 22 people on a 21 foot wooden boat to leave Cuba and we made it to dry tortugas. My brother and I were 5 and remember some of the bad weather along the way. It took my dad 28 hours to find land because we had an old boat with old motor and the current would slow us down tremendously, but he did it without resting. We made it and 30 years later we have worked hard and made a beautiful life here. We are very blessed. Great video, I will take my boys there soon so they can learn something about their history.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Wow captain that is a wild story and I had a lot of my family crossing like that and I'm sure Dry Tortugas is a very special place for you and great idea to take your kids and tell them about your story, is important to keep the expiance alive, navigate safe cap. And hopefully see you on the water one day⚓️🛥👍

We made the trip out there, but did the tourist trip on an old boat. That reminds me of the boat that was there, It had a chevy 350 mounted about the same way. Thanks for sharing.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@FishingTheBank Awesome, captain.Usually there's boats like this here.Most of the time because we're very close to cuba and hopefully you can make it here again , captain

Hi Capt.... Looks like you and the family are having a nice vacation! The water there is as beautiful as the Bahamas....

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes, captain. This is awesome waters and it's United States property, so no passport needed. The only problem is that is too far but we can make the effort, And did you Get to see. The other Crooked pilothouse?

[@andrewfyakim525]

@@OutOnTheReef LOL! Yes I saw the other boat. It was VERY Crooked, but it was not a Crooked Pilothouse boat, because there was no Pilothouse! ☺☺☺☺

[@OutOnTheReef]

@andrewfyakim525 no I was talking about the one in the dry storage at the fort😁

[@andrewfyakim525]

@@OutOnTheReef Yes, I saw the one in dry storage too; I thought you were being funny, calling the wood boat on the beach a crooked pilothouse, because THAT one was a crooked boat! ☺(The one in dry storage didn't look too crooked from that far away ☺☺)

Awesome. Captain, now you know the way and where to go to visit.Hopefully this video made it easier for your captain Just make sure you always have a lot of ⛽️ fuel ,And have an awesome time, captain.

[@gcrauwels941]

Those aircraft are DeHavilland Turbine Otters. They originally had piston radials but were converted. Great airplanes that are used in Alaska a lot. Been a really long time since I've been to Fort Jefferson. Thanks for having us along. edit: That engine was from a Spanish brand 'Pegasus', of trucks and tractors, Cuba was a major export market.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Wow, captain. And thank you for the awesome information. I did not know that, I'm from Cuba amd lots of the engines ware from Russia , thanks for watching cap

[@sssanford608]

[@popsboatsnhotrods]

Someday i hope to go there ! Thanks for the video capn

[@OutOnTheReef]

I hope you can go and visit captain Ann you can go on the ferry. It's very unexpensive, and you can also use the plane. It's just a little bit more money.

[@kennethhardin3790]

Great video as always Capt. I think a quick oil change and a little duct tape for the old wreck and she would be good to go cruising again. And I think I know why your brick idea didn't work; you needed to consume a few more Coronas before setting that brick 😂. Take care buddy!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol Buddy yes a Quick oil change and we should be good to go 😂 And that was a genius thing to do with the brick. Next time I will try to use a cement block😁

[@andrewells3173]

[@sonetcom]

Captain, I am planning to take a group of 10 to 15 boats there. Do you think the best bet for parking and ramp is Bahia Honda State Park? your videos provide great information for us to travel hopefully, one day, I could meet with you. thanks

[@OutOnTheReef]

saludos Captain and is a pleasure to speak with you, you have a lot of knowledge of the ocean , i watch your live chats wen i have time and you have great info too, and i like Bahia Honda Because good security and great parking and they charge $2 per feet per day but they give you every day 1 bag of ice and to complementary drinks included in the price ,i like the ice 😉 . Buenas noche capitan y si estoy seguro que algun dia nos beremos y te saludo en persona.👍⚓

[@ronbennett8026]

When you row your dingy, you're supposed to have your back to the bow and pull the oars to go forward. I know that seems counter intiuitive (cuz your facing backwards), but it's so much easier to row that way. To each his own I guess.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very true cap. I need to remember that thanks for your help👍😁

[@primate2744]

It's best to meet with the local park rangers to discuss the rules of the park when arriving. That will save you from having them tell you what to do and where to go.

[@OutOnTheReef]

that is exactly what i did thanks cap

[@johnsavala8202]

Hello from So. California! Take care of your wonderful family and I’ll be taking a four day cruise to Bimini and Nassau soon. Any suggestions while in Bimini? Thank you

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome captain And when you go to nasa , there's a public beach by The cruching ships That I always go to and you can see the ship from there and they have food stands and It's awesome beach if you don't have any plans at bimini You can go to the suppona but you may have to charter, But if you wanna stay around, they have a good beach There, depending on when conditions cap. Then have an awesome trip on my special islands

[@alfonseca9284]

Great video Captain ( and first mate) I hope you are not thinking about getting a crooked sea plane! That could be dangerous!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Remote batteries might be an issue for the Minnkota?

[@OutOnTheReef]

true cap it only did it in that area cap very wierd

[@jeffreypinder9398]

I like her thinking..."Hope we can get back". Where is the inflatable leaking? Pretty sinister laugh about 11:58. The seaplane is a 1954 DeHavilland DHC-3 (Otter) with a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 -34 turbo-prop conversion owned out of Ketchikan, Alaska. Seventy-year-old airplane with modern day power. Second airplane is a 1961 same model with the same mods. P&W turbo-prop engines can reverse pitch to "backup" when needed but mostly to slow down on landing to save the brake wear on the wheel brakes. Try to get some cheap teflon coated rubber tongs so you don't ruin the teflon coating of your electric skillet Captain. I know "space" is an issue, but it won't be a factor. Time stamp 28:00...the First mate questioning the captain's ability? Pegaso Diesel was from the 40's, later became Iveco/Enasa. Great video, Cap. Chilling by the beach is the best...next to sleeping in the A/C.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you, captain for all the awesome information and history about those planes. And yes I laugh because the acoustics were great😁 And I was surprised to see a plane With propellers I have never seen that, They must maintain those playings pretty good Because you never hear them falling And then make several trips per day. And thank you for the awesome information about the engine. Now i have more history about it. Thank you, captain for being part of the channel by watching.
