Great move, Cap. Much more calm there and you got your cardio. I agree, a shame to destroy the caretaker's house. When you focused on the one coconut in the tree, I figured the stick part out. That vulture was eyeing you for supper.

Great video! Loved the remote on your trolling motor. Did the boat just drag the anchor to get in close to you or how did you manage the boat when at anchor with the remote?

No what I did is that I left a lot of rope in the anchor so I can pivot the boat but the anchor was always in place so what the minkota does is just moves you sideways And thanks for watching captain

Captain, I hope that you are well. Thank you again for another, well done, video. One day, I hope to travel the ICW to Florida and then to Bahamas; maybe joining you in some fishing excursion. But I have a question, have you thought of installing solar panels on the roof to help with charging and some electrical components?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Hello cap. And that would be awesome and i have thought about solar pannel but i only have room in may roof for two 50watt solar pannels so that is very little for my use ,because wen im running my air conditioner, coffee maker, charger for 7 onboard batteries ,i use alot of wattage cap. Thats my problem and that's why i need a generator that makes 2200 running watts
