Solo Camping Florida's Emerald Coast +140 Miles on a Microskiff

From Destin Florida to Orange Beach Alabama is a great area to explore and camp on a micro skiff. Lots of interesting things to see and it's always an adventure with Trip. This 140 plus mile trip wasn't the best weather, but the best time was made of it that's for sure!

[@sheilajackson3750]

Hi there. My dad introduced me to your videos the other day and I had a thought that when you are sleeping on your boat that you might be able to have a hinged board coming off of your storage compartment lid (the one that you sleep on) that would open towards the front of the boat and rested on your cooler, or the front of the boat (not sure of the dimensions) to give you a better, more stable platform for sleeping on. You know, just a piece of plywood or something durable that you could paint white or whatever.... It would make your lid slightly heavier, but might be worth a good nights sleep. I like the new mattress that blows up with the bag.... great solution to blowing up small things. I enjoyed watching. Good for you on your adventuring, and stay safe out there! :)_

[@sheilajackson3750]

.... or perhaps the board could be hanging down on the front of the compartment and then raises Up on a hinge to rest on your cooler...????

[@TripSmith]

Yea, I've thought about various things like your are talking about.... Haven't come up with a solution I would be happy with. I have a few ideas I'd like to try but I will probably be selling the boat in the near future so I won't be making extra holes or anything in her.

Trip, love the vid. I live in the Mid Atlantic states where the water is colder and more green colored. When you talk about clarity, do you mean visibility horizontally under water? I thought the water in Destin was very clear when I was there, but in certain places like the Alabama coast the water was more brown can cloudy. Is that typical of the AL coast? Why is Destin so much more clear and blue than Orange Beach?

Thanks Tom! Yes visibility through the water. JP has got it right on the money. The big rivers nasty it up.
