Quick Boat Update Part 27: Driving in Rain

[@vprinceii]

the last time I got to go fishing with my dad he rented a jon boat from the COAST GUARD an we started at 4am. The moment we left the dock we started seeing trash in the water. my dad pulled back up to the boat launch and tied up the boat. he went into the office and ask the guy for a few large trash bags, we ended up spending 18 hrs on the river taking 8 full 35 gallon bags out of fowl river in mobile, ala. I love my dad for teaching me that life lesson that day. every time we came back for more bags the guy figured out what we were doing and refilled our gas tanks three times and got us lunch and dinner. we wanted to come back the next weekend but we couldn't rent the boat for four more months. I we had a canoe or kayak then that river would be the cleanest today. the last thing we talked about two weeks before he passed was that day. he actually apologize to me for not be able to fish that day. I told him, for what we did that day we gave other fathers and son a better and cleaner place to fish for the future. I don't know if the guy is still doing it, but he started a clean up program for that river then. if you brought back a bag of trash from the river they would give you something for free. its been 20 years since I been there though.

[@zoffinger]

This comment gave me goosebumps, Victor. Sounds like your dad was a good guy.

Mobile in the house

[@MalcoDude]

A good man 😊👍🏻

[@kevintoepper2828]

Wow that was a great story if I had a kid I would be making him clean up also

[@quinnprescott9741]

out of every single fisherman that does youtube you are my favorite. your so relaxing and you should make more vids. thx

[@roaddog4334]

Boating, fishing, BBQ, beer, friends & two great dogs is a recipe for success! Sadly too many people work too many years for a retirement that will never be realized. Marty, you get it! Sláinte

[@jhen6690]

thanks for cleaning up the island. we do the same thing every time we are out. its sad but being a good steward is everyone's responsibility.

[@zoffinger]

Thanks on behalf of the people in your neighborhood, Jim

[@fishfreak2001]

Its very upsetting to see the trash. When I go on the water I always find garbage and fishing line in the mangroves. I always do my best to get it all out. One time I had seen a pelican caught in fishing line that was stuck in the mangroves and I had manged to free it. Glad there are still people like you who always keeps the waterways clean. Great Video!

[@zoffinger]

you mean, people like us, KINGNEPTUNE2001

[@fishfreak2001]

zoffinger Yup!

[@jimmyceltic4120]

zoffinger hey there is a channel called Game of thrones using all of your video's has their own has a girl for thumbnail type in game of thrones kayak and it comes up

[@adamcoyne230]

I grew up in ft lauderdale diving and fishing and now i live in california.i would not trade anything in the world for growing up that way.your channel reminds me of all the good times i had with my dad in the water.thanks.

[@Tetsaraku]

I really like the vibe in your videos! Cool, calm and collected. :)

[@denny6281]

West coast of Florida. Boat. Two pups. fishing rods. Priceless! Keep living the dream Marty!

[@micalooch1]

I think your viewers, like myself, find themselves daydreaming about living the lifestyle in your videos, and enjoy them a lot. And thank you for spreading the word about cleaning up after yourself, as well as the ever-present freeloaders that don't seem to get it.

[@petertrout8140]

Marty, you are living the dream. Many of us are living that through you, keep them coming...

[@jessicafishes]

That's a huge bag of trash, Marty. It's such a shame that people litter and taint public places. Thanks for doing more than your part and leaving the island a better place.

[@HokeeFi]

Thanks for taking care of the trash properly, leaving a clean place for the next person who visits that island.

[@TopWaterAssassin78]

Thank you for helping to keep these nice places clean. I hate when people leave their trash behind. Thanks for sharing Marty..

[@niceclassicboat6874]

Yes, you should always keep your waterways clean. Thanks for showing and doing it! ..long time ago, it was our father who tought us boys to keep the nature clean when you leave your fishing spot (at the shore or on a boat) and nowadays its my son who surprised me with cleaning up the beach without telling him. :-)

[@LasVegasVocalist]

You're a good man and a great steward, Marty. I hope to get out there sometime in the near future and shake your hand.

[@tullywatson6823]

Appreciate your concern and awareness for the beautiful areas that you visit, Marty. If only footprints were the only things left from visiting these beautiful locations...

[@WaynJul]

Nice little outing. I drove down a long road into a bird sanctuary to a nice spot on the bay. I hauled out a bag of trash and wondered how long this place would be open to the public.

[@zoffinger]

We'll keep those places open, Wayn

[@Myyt6908]

thank you for picking up the trash. wish more people would respect those places. loved watching the dogs.

[@andresvelazquez549]

Hi there, it is awesome having people like you around I personally an a salt water Reef enthusiast, I know how garbage damage the reef system an our ecosystem, you doing a great job out there, and The mooring bar it is something that eventually everyone will have, well take care my friend...

[@waltp.7632]

My dad always taught me to never throw trash out. We always picked up garbage every time we went out in the boat. Now I teach my kids the same way I was taught. Every time we ride the toys on the mountain we pick up everything we come across. Sad how people will throw out garbage. Really enjoy the videos new subscriber and look forward to catching up. Have started at boat update 1 and here I am.

[@Sea2SeaAdventures]

Marty, I know this is an old video, but these are among my favorite videos. Watching you take the house out to your favorite fishing spot, taking the dogs to shore and cooking your catch. Good to see you taking M - F off.

[@yellowdeer7163]

That was a lot of fun on that fishing trip. Good friends, good time and good eats. Thanks Marty.

[@substance1]

I totally agree with you regarding people leaving thier garbage behind for others to pick up. Would love to give them a big fat fine for littering. It makes me sick.

[@beverlyparrish9846]

Last night I was watching all of your boat updates, and all I could think of was how bad I wish you posted another one! Thank you so much! Your videos are low-key awesomeness!!

[@joeldeutscher7077]

Good on you for supporting LNT principles. We've only got one Earth; let's preserve it for everyone to enjoy!

[@code1outdoors311]

Thanks Marty. Appreciate the positive message. It can be contagious

[@zoffinger]

let's hope

[@philcarr7015]

Good message. Needs to be more people like you taking care of those places and getting other people to do so.

[@allendabold5611]

We seem to be cut from the same cloth. I'm always picking up other peoples trash. I hope to see in my life time the ban of single use containers and plastic bags. Thanks for spreading the word. Live life ;-)

[@joeyguillen5847]

Haven't watched since I seen your content a year ago. Watched a few now and then I think last update was 11! Zoffinger you are awesome and may God bless you for many more days! Fish on yehawww

[@popogast]

Thanks for keeping the island tidy.

[@patrickmcbride9841]

your dogs are so fun to watch! they are such happy campers!

[@penney304]

Enjoy your videos, thanks for taking the time to clean up that beach. when I go hiking on the trail or when I'm at the beach , I take a bag just to pick up trash left by others. I don't like doing this but I don't like looking at trash either. My motto, "Earth, not a bad place to live... let's all keep it clean."

[@zoffinger]

Good motto, Gary

[@pool2785]

Hi Marty, My family and I have spot on an island on the upper Mississippi we beach our house boat and we also pick up any trash we find, glad to see many more doing that. Been watching for about 3 years now. Thanks for your channel. Tom K.

[@zoffinger]

Somebodies gotta do it. Why not us, huh Tom?

[@yeoldegunporn]

I used to spend whole summers on that same ChrisCraft, well probably a different one, my uncle still has it, but same model. So trippy to see you in it. I slept in the that same spot for multiple summers, Haha. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Makes me want to fix up my dad's old Bertram.

[@kevintoepper2828]

Here lately I've been bringing a extra bag with me and cleaning up every fishing spot I end up at it is sad the lack of respect for this beautiful place we live

[@rhenley78]

Good to see more content, and somebody else trying to keep the sport alive.

[@Tatation1971]

I absolutely love your channel and the fact that you are a great outdoorsman and they responsible Stewart. Thank you for sharing your videos and by the way your dogs are absolutely beautiful.

[@victorsandoval3083]

Man Marty, you have got the life. Good for you bro.

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

Your awesome Marty! Love to see that there is good people left on earth!

[@kayakengineer]

What up Marty, you were my first ever you-tube subscription several years ago when you were still on the 9 foot red beast. One of the reasons I subscribed was because in one of your earlier videos you mentioned picking up garbage left behind by others on these beautiful islands. Being an Environmental Engineer I admired this simple act. Good to see that you haven't changed. Now back to some kayak fishing please. See Ya.

[@RickRose]

Awesome video. A couple of boating observations: 1) I was taught to face the ladder on a boat at all times b/c you will want to do it without thinking when things are hairy. 2) When going into a low/no visibility weather situation, another thing to add to your checklist would be your compass heading, just in case the electronics go out. Not trying to be a know-it-all; just passing what I was taught. At the rate you're going, you will quickly have more experience than me.

[@zoffinger]

Always love good advice. Sometimes a reminder of the things we 'already know' are welcome too. Cause I get forgetful in my old age :^)

[@tollesbury1]

Great video Marty....what an adventure. Thanks for sharing with us .

[@monstermug]

Love your video adventures! It's a great feeling owning a boat! Forget about fishing videos. There are millions out there. Keep them coming please!

[@goriverman]

Your a good man. I do the same thing, always leave it cleaner. Life is good, glad to see that your doing good.

[@Tide12NC]

Should do a live feed of the next outing. Great fun sitting under the stars and chatting with friends.

[@gabrielpadilla1362]

Marty another excellent video and thanks for picking up the slack for other folks. It's so sad to see people trash these lovely little oasis' BTW you and I have exchanged morning greetings on numerous occasions, I fish around where u live.

[@zoffinger]

Cheers, Gabriel

[@mateoreyes9008]

always love seeing this kind of video

[@Captain4life3]

thanks for the clean up.. do it when i am out cant stand such a beautiful space with trash in my pics. found you channel by and you make me want to take my boat on over nite trips. Thanks for showing me that its not about the distance from home but what you do with your time

[@ktajax]

Mooring bar idea is nice idea. Best way to go about that is to perfect it, patent and sell to a boat outfitter like Taylor Made for a percentage of sales. That way they do all the work, take the liability and have capability to manufacture and the market presents.

[@sarathmenon85]

Great work... I hope everyone takes the good out of it... I did really like the last part of trashing the bag and ending with a closed lap... Very nice

[@tedfox2683]

Great video Marty!! Thumbs up for keeping it clean!!

[@KayakChris]

Looks like you are getting pretty comfortable at driving your house around. Remember... " Smiles everyone, smiles..." - Mr. Rourke

[@sealtite87]

I always grad a 5 gal bucket worth of trash out of the spartina grass when kayak fishing here in north FL. Found a liquor bottle from 1950 last trip. Pretty cool

[@zoffinger]

very cool, sealtite

[@drewringlein1183]

Thank you for your reply.. I will keep that in mind... I am a huge fan of your videos and I like everything that you do out on the water

[@larsonestatesllc5433]

You should build a hard cover top and lace it with the thatch to make it look the same! And keep dry at the same time!

[@stevenquigley4208]

Great video. Thanks for taking out more than you came in with. It is a shame that you had to do it. We do it also. We always comment on the softball size tangle of fishing line, hooks, flounder rigs, and misc stuff that we took off the Beach. Thanks again, Steve Virginia Beach

[@UrbanFisherman]

Always injoy the boat updates

[@jcuevas119]

You are living the dream my friend.

[@xtinethevegangeek593]

Plus one million cool points for cleaning up the island. So many people love to take in the beauty of nature but often disrespect it with their trash. I used to go fishing with my grandparents back in the day and even tho I wasn't big into the fishing part I would spent my time cleaning up other people's garbage. I just don't understand how trashy people can be, pun intended.

[@zoffinger]

XtinetheVeganGeek thanks for pickin up after the anglers :^)

[@andrewscott1508]

ha ha my friends always laugh because to me coffee in the morning it's imperative !

[@1539Mickey]

Hi Marty, I always enjoy your videos. Thanks, Mickey ( from NJ )

[@joerockme7485]

ALWAYS ENJOY ZOFF. GOOD TO SEE THE DOG TOO.

[@MidniteClubII]

RIGHT ON DUDE! How about if you make a WOODEN SIGN to ASK PEOPLE NOT TO LITTER. Ofcourse, there will still be numnuts who won't listen. BUT THANKS FOR CARING and DOING YOUR PART!

[@nissestoppsladd2921]

Amazing boat, Greetings from a boater in sweden! Keep up the good work😎👍🏽

[@Rich_ard]

I enjoy the boat adventures and the dogs are awesome.

[@owenwalsh6528]

I want to see u go off shore fishing on that boat

[@1pdigit]

And catch a monster fish!

[@andrewbooth6790]

1pdigit the boat is not meant for that

[@1pdigit]

Marty could land a monster tuna on that boat no problem. I'm sure he owns a gaff.

[@KaseFPV]

No one said he COULDN'T do it. But the boat is not meant for running off shore.. Not only that.. Do you know how long it would take for him to actually get anywhere near tuna on the West Coast of Florida?

[@1pdigit]

If Sailing Salty was saying it's not meant for offshore I think he/she would have replied to the comment about taking it offshore, but he/she replied to my comment about catching a monster fish. So I just assumed he/she meant catching fish from it. However any saltwater fisherman would tell you this vessel is more than capable of going offshore. It has two fresh 350 cid Mercruiser engines in it. And the gulf is full of many different species of tuna, it's literally a breeding ground for certain types.......//my original comment was meant as a very light hearted thumbs up/pat on the back to Marty to let him know his subscribers care about him and always wish him the best.

[@mikebrumbly3504]

Nice to see the pups out being pups.

[@matthewdixon152]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that steers with my feet!

[@thecamocanoe]

You're a good man Marty.

[@nagen38]

I always take at least a small grocery bag out with me ever since seeing one of your old videos about 5 or 6 years ago(Keep our fishy spots clean I think it was called) when I first started kayak fishing. I may not catch fish everytime, but I usually have a full bag of trash that I collect. As for the thatch, I spent some time in England and met a few roofers who repaired the thatched rooves that are still common there. The key is to have it tightly packed. Next time you have to replace the thatch, overlap it a little thicker than you have here and it should make a noticeable different in the leaks.

[@treysmith1869]

You should make more vids! They are awesome . I love sitting down and relaxing and watching one of your vids always exiting and relaxing to see what your everyday activities !

[@MorbidOrangeCat]

When I was in the Boy Scouts we did a beach clean up in Palm Beach County. We cleaned up over 200 beer bottles, plastic can rings, condoms, needles, styrofoam, & endless cigarette butts. All within a 1/4 Mile on the beach. Its sad to see how careless people can be. Its important to do your part when possible so we can continue to enjoy these great places.

[@zoffinger]

Yup. Every bit counts.

[@Chas1160]

Hi Marty, just ran into your video on U Tube . I find it so relaxing to watch. It’s like being there, I’ve learned a lot about boating. I own a Bayliner 2858 and just cruise the San Francisco Bay in California. It’s not the quality of a Chris Craft but it serves my needs. Your boat is really nice. I have a small 12’ aluminum boat which I tow behind my boat. I bought it from Montgomery Wards and it’s made by Sea King. Both companies no longer exist. As time permits, I will continue watching.

[@jamesbaumann1180]

When you raft up, having at least 1 of the other boat set their anchor improves piece of mind. Perhaps a stern anchor as well.

[@brianmowers307]

Well played, Marty!!

[@paulprattini6446]

Great message!! Keep livin the Marina Life!!

[@glennbzt]

Very nice …serene relaxing ..I’m with you people are so selfish at times ..like at the foodstores they leave wagons that cud roll smash into parked cars…take up needed spaces….it’s such a small thing common courtesy….Enjoy yr content ..and yr dogs are truly man’s best friend…😊

[@liamandrewwoyen3454]

Your videos never cease to entertain! I cant wait to come over to America in 2 years time - I want to meet you so much! I hope you keep creating content for many more years to come, keep up the great work :)

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

This video and the music was really well done, very calm and enjoyable!

Hey Marty, I love your coffee mug.

[@erichkestler1934]

I really like the bimini... very creative.

[@jimmac9327]

Love the tiki top on your boat! Nice video

[@gdjrod]

Man that looked like a fun trip , i love the ocean maybe one day me and the family will make a move to get closer. Glad to see you picked up the garbage on the island. I hate to see folks do that kind of thing and mess up the environment . Im always picking up fishing line or trash when i go fishing , and if everyone does there part to just pick up after themselves we can continue to enjoy the magic that nature brings us. Love the videos man keep up the great content.

[@cup_and_cone]

The big issue with trash is there isn't enough consequence for litterers. Sure, there are no dumping and litter fine signage occasionally, but littering in general is pretty much never enforced. Law enforcement are too busy with other things than to give out small citations; yet littering is one of the very few things someone can do that has the biggest impact on effecting other people's quality of life, and the consequences should be much more severe than they are.

[@bikenmama]

Great video Marty. I love the message

[@greshond3]

So cool, it's always interesting following your daily blogs. I enjoy watching your personal tikki mods, and also the kayak inventions.

[@ratoneJR]

nice trip. wishing you many more.

[@leonardkevin12]

Dude, you are awesome, great message about the trash! Sad you have to make it.

[@eddiestone5732]

Great stuff. Love seeing the local footage.

[@paddlefisher]

Great message mate, "Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories." .........well maybe take one or two fish for dinner :)
