[@RANGER2021]

We all need good neighbors like y'all

[@mikehamm648]

What a good neighbor you are Sir

[@1970gregg]

Glad you guys are doing ok. Your neighbor is lucky to have you keeping an eye on things!

[@heyjules2008]

Glad to see that you have things under control Thanks for the update. Take care!

[@Buzzinho-pn6rf]

We are breathing a sigh of relief for you and Bridget. Sure glad it didn't get any worse. Nice of you to look after your neighbors property also. We need more good folks like you!

[@gypsybelle637]

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. We live, part time, over by mid point bridge. Just got our dock built. Boat not home yet. I'm so excited to have our boat home, but glad it's not there yet! Be well, and be safe. Thank you both for all the great content.🙏🏼👍🏼

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Thank you! Good luck!

[@carlossouto2540]

Good to see that you guys are doing well from the storm 👏🙏🏼

[@theneck5157]

Your house is beautiful… I watched one of your videos a few years ago I believe or maybe just a year ago I’m getting old and time flys lol but I retired out of NYC and moved to NC and that’s when I saw one of your videos then moved to palm beach gardens then recently moved to fort myers and a life long friend just moved to Cape Coral not on a canal but on a lake in a nice community.. we just met for lunch on pine island and wow hurricane Ian really totaled pine island so I’m sure you must have been hit bad .. I just subscribed to your channel because what’s the odds of watching one of your videos a year + ago and now living a few miles away lol … hopefully nothing happens with this tropical storm /hurricane and your family stays safe and your house stays unscathed… god bless

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Wow you get around! We’re also from NY. I worked in Manhattan and grew up on Staten Island.

[@jrac863]

Glad to see you guys make it through ok.Gotta love Florida

[@freedomwanderer]

We are getting the outer bands of the storm now here in Myrtle Beach, SC. Gonna be soaked for about 3 days. Glad you guys are safe.

[@darrellgordon7456]

happy to see things are okay for you guys. Its gotta be a stressful time for you both

[@KimJeffer]

Thanks,we have a home in SW Cape. So it is good to see the results of this passing storm

[@MrOpaulo]

Prayin for your safety through this storm from Lake Erie Ontario Canada

[@larrykaminski3269]

Thanks for the update. I have a grandson working In Jacksonville who just let me know just wind and rain in his area. Be safe and make sure the bilge pumps are ready and able and batten the hatches...

[@The.Real.Timmii]

When I retired people asked if I was moving to Florida for the warm winters. 😊

[@hectorsalgado2355]

Thanks for sharing. Be safe.

[@Maxbfishing]

Thanks, wife and I looking at cape coral area for the BIG Move from just outside of cape may nj ❤ great videos

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We love Cape May too! Vacationed there almost every year when up north.

[@Videostufftas]

Amazing footage thanks, hope you’re all ok 🇦🇺

[@r7boatguy]

It looked like we had about 6-8" on our dock, hard to tell precisely from the cameras. I have my boat on a lift, strapped to the dock and also tied up, so it was fine. Good thing you noticed that Sailfish was at risk!

[@NHENTERTAINMENTTV]

Good luck and keep safe

[@pugmahone]

Stay safe as you ride the storm out!!

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Thank god it was "only" a tropical storm. I hate it when beautiful landscapes get destroyed. My ex college Jörg wrote me a message via WhatsApp and added a few pictures from his yard in Bradenton Manatee county. There was water everywhere but nothing seriously damaged

[@AlbertKalinin-p2i]

Hi Capt. Tom back from the mini loop to flooded canal. wasn't this the same situation after last hurricane after IAN. I think I seen your video then. well be extremely careful when the water goes down with your dock electricity as you experienced before. hope you and Bridgett and matey had a great time as always enjoyed your great videos and commentary stay safe alk in Michigan (also watching out for neighbors is highly commendable)

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Oddly yes. Storms right after a log trip. But we are safe and sound.

[@anatsc69]

Praying all is going to be ok.

[@brandonthorbahn2405]

It’s wild how we dream of living by the water until something like this happens. Water can be very awesome and dangerous all at the same time!

[@matts3920000]

Glad your home safe! I know your video are delayed being posted. Did you have to rush your trip to get back before Debby. Love your video’s ❤

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

No rushing back. Debby wasn’t even on the radar while we did the loop

[@Big-lron]

My parents live down in cape coral. Their house flooded during Ian and the boat ended up half on the dock half on the lift with no damage to the boat fortunately. They want me to move out of the midwest to cape coral but idk tornadoes can be terrifying but id rather deal with that than hurricanes.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

At least you get plenty of warning before a hurricane!

[@alzainea1658]

Boaters helping boaters...especially neighbors!

[@pete926]

Glad you are safe! You must have poured the coals to it to get home ahead of the storm.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

We had plenty of time. The storm wasn’t even on the radar during our trip.

[@fierceflyer5]

You got home fast from Fort Lauderdale. Bet you weren’t going 6mph 😂

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Timelines are off. We did the entire loop at slow speed. Got back weeks ago. Videos are a bit behind on those.

[@Mad1Mike]

Glad all is well. LOL, bumpers. I can tell you are from New York! North East, any wayzzs.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Did I call the fender a bumper?!? So unlike me. Lol

[@doncritzer2798]

Lots of rain and wind, choppy on the icw here at St Augustine municipal marina

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

About what we saw in SE CC. Dolphin canal. Still scary every time it reaches dock level.

[@stroguy]

One blessing it is happening during daylight. Would be 10X more miserable and unsafe if you did this work in no power darkness by flashlights. Nice storm coverage. pS, what is your neighbors go fund me page? I’ll send some scratch for a better USA flag!

[@admiralbrigitt]

Ha! He’s away. I been saying we have to get him a new flag I can’t look at that! It’s down now 🇺🇸

[@stroguy]

@@admiralbrigitt Excellent. That thing looked like it was flown in the War of 1812 or over Khe San.

[@Olaf19]

Wow and this is not Ian.... Crazy

[@rickdoll7220]

Did you complete the Florida little loop? Last video I saw you were in Ft Lauderdale. I am planning to do that trip this fall. I really enjoyed seeing you trip so far.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Yes we completed than and got home a couple weeks ago before the storm. More videos coming!

[@runltdan]

Good luck with preventing/mitigating damage. Weren’t yall Just in Boca-Ft Lauderdale area….did you have to postpone the mini loop?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Those loop videos are about a month behind. Those will be posted every few days or so. We got back well before Debbie hit.

[@vresor]

Yikes. Thank you for the real world data.

[@robertrosenstein4430]

Just curious what your usual water depth is on your canal?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

It fluctuates with the tide but dockside I have about 5’

[@Sonofawildanimal]

Are you able and if so, what percentage of home owners have flood insurance living on canals in Cape Coral? Have any idea or ever asked your neighbors?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Most do. It’s also required by banks if you have a mortgage.

[@jetlag4754]

Just curious, when you have tides and storm surge that high, does everyone turn off the power to their power pedestals?

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

No, most do not. Which is scary. I am very careful when around the docks.

[@karldettling5981]

Looks like boat soup?
