Subscribed already years ago. Your channel is fantastic on so many different levels ❤

[@FastRaw]

perfect content to watch from norway, here the waters are most dark and without color, the beaches is stones not sand and just brown seaweed. wish we could have waters like tortuga! and the weather! wish to explore places like this my self, looks so much fun!

[@michaelishoj1111]

Thanks for sharing - the Marquesas Keys in Florida, reminds me of the eye of Quebec, or the Manicouagan Reservoir, a lake in the Province of Quebec... It was also formed by a meteorite (3 miles in diameter).

[@stanwalls6434]

Thank you so so much guys I’ve really missed these speed boat runs, can’t wait to grow up! ❤️⚓️

[@stanwalls6434]

Oh and btw I’m pushing you guys everywhere, family thinks I’m nuts.

[@beavbros8645]

Miss living in the Keys, Summerland, Sugarloaf, Big Pine lived in all those places. No Name Pub afterwork was my place to be :D. Enjoy living the life.

[@xkcarso01x]

Some of the best snorkeling @ Dry Tortugas. Giant Cuda scared the 💩 out of me 😂

[@nicklastaranto164]

I've been watching your channel for a couple months now finally you put out a new one I love watching that, God and I would love to ride in that boat

[@jrive075]

So this is what people with a lot of money do to have some fun?! Not hating… Kudos to you! You worked hard, earned it and now living a dream. Very motivating. Appreciate the content…. Subscribed!

[@RiverRat904]

Y'all just do KZbin different and I love it!! Please keep making content!! Hello from Jax too!! Florida life doesn't suck!!

[@jonnytoast]

So glad its summer. Hopefully see more frequent howe to live content. Mike, you have to be one of the busiest, most adventurous, fascinating and not to mention talented humans on the planet. And on top of that you have an even better second half. I wish we could see some more content on some projects and a few more adventures. Keep it up and stay safe. You guys def know howe to live. Loved the little nature fact thrown in there. Oh and im all for 30 min videos. I know your on that 20 min format

[@Howe2Live]

Wow... thanks so much Jonny... means a ton! We will try a get more content out there. Thanks so much for watching and commenting:) M&S

[@StrikeEagleCinema]

When you stopped to appreciate the color of the water that actually made my hair stand on end. I have never stopped to think about it but when they are that deep of a blue it is actually gorgeous. Thanks for giving me some perspective on that one.

[@a3_Beats]

Yessir!!! I love these videos so so so much! They are just so exciting and fun to watch. I bought my own little 13 foot race boat last week and I’m working on it right now, I’ve got big plans for it and y’all are a big inspiration for me to do this. Thanks so much for making these vids and never stop! Have a great day!

[@Howe2Live]

Sweet... share it on our FB wall. Boat safe Boat Happy:) M&S

[@darrellfolk5284]

Love this Channel! Been watching for 2 years!! From Pennsylvania with a lot different Boat, iv got a 78 Avenger flat bottom with a 427 BBC. Be safe Guys!!

[@paratyshow]

👍✅ Best speed boat shots ever from your 360 cam behind the boat🤣🏝👙Tks👏

[@Howe2Live]

Thanks 👍

[@Sommers234]

Lifelong sailor here and absolutely love this film of your adventure. Terrific instruction on docking as well as flying🎉😂❤ beautiful scenery, the ladies and absolutely badass yachts.

[@mrshort2379]

liven the dream! a dream that most (such as myself) can only fantasize about. We have to vicariously live it through others, such as y'all.

[@doggonedk]

For twin screw boat handling I always told people it's kind of akin to operating a zero-turn mower once you learn pivot point and the controls. My twin straight inboard 32 was a breeze to handle with no bow thruster. I could dock that thing anywhere it would fit barring conditions. Ie wind, current. Your cinematography and storytelling are second to none Great video!

[@Howe2Live]

agreed. Thanks so much for watching and the great knowledgeable comment. M&S

[@jamestaylor2499]

just love your passion in what you do i wish you did more of this but we know you are a busy couple

[@CONSTITUTIONALACTIVIST]

What a beautiful day to fly/glide on top of the water! The dry tortuga looks like a great apocalyptic hideout… Justice or not the camera view of the water color was amazing. It actually made the other colors in your boats show up even more. I haven’t noticed a color that added to its counterparts as well as this one did.

[@CONSTITUTIONALACTIVIST]

I fast forwarded to the cobalt blue water again and the color changes of the water was pretty cool

[@rhhaas112]

I love your videos and adventures. The 20 minutes fly by i could watch forever with your story telling!! Keep up the amazing work...

[@GregoryJohnston77]

That is SO AWESOME the Coast Guard allows people to go on the island. 👌

[@lowboytrucker]

I’m voting for longer videos seems like 20 min is not enough. Best channel on KZbin hands down !

[@26N80W]

I sailed Dry Tortuga 30 years ago and had know idea the Fort Jefferson existed. Amazing place. Very cool place to visit and well worth the effort to get there.

[@1robhammer]

Arbutus Wk is on the chart as is the Valbonera at Half Moon shoal. Cool snorkel dives

[@wesleyferguson6932]

I wish I could afford a million dollar boat. Love the video. Take care and stay safe.

[@johnhallock2713]

I've been watching your channel for awhile and I've thought you looked familiar but finally put 2 & 2 together with the Howe last name... you guys are brilliant and make some amazing things for sure...

[@Howe2Live]

Thanks you and Welcome aboard!

[@MRMV483]

Awesome video! would be cool to see a video tour of your keys home & a breakdown of its hurricane proofing!

[@stellaLovesDaddy28]

Brother, my wife and I just went to the Tortuga's in March. It took almost 60 years for us to get there. We are going back next March. It is an amazing place.

[@Mike-j6e8q]

Hi Mike & Sara. Been looking forward to this adventure for a while. Can't wait to see follow up. Mike & Betty

[@stevebucks2700]

What a awesome video thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed this. Looks like you guys had one heckuva time… this is definitely called. Good living looking forward to the next adventure.

[@pierrebotha5129]

HO-LEE-Sheeeet!! Thats more blue than Eifel65! Just amazing content! And thanks again for showing us things and places most of us will most likely NEVER see or experience!

[@DavidRoyal-y9o]

Y'all have a nice life look extremely happy. And i love the boat

[@wesleyferguson6932]

Thanks for your trip to the Island and sharing it with us.

[@toolmanct2770]

You put so much effort into your videos. A+++ Great explanations on how you handle your boat. Thank you!

[@Howe2Live]

Thank you very much!

[@aldenmarine8582]

Incredible video!! The colors were unreal! Thanks for sharing another adventure!

[@omycprow]

Didn’t know how much I miss your episodes and stunning videography until this popped up on my feed again. Keep it up!

[@Howe2Live]

Welcome back! And ty:)

[@bucknibler]

Thanks for sharing your trips. Most of us will not be able to see this area. Always looking forward to your next video.

[@mindtrick714]

Great video packed a lot into it! Solid editing as well really help create a great story. Bad ass necklace as well!

[@steveleslie9022]

Nice to see you back out in the 52. You should have mil subscribers by now…great vids. Been here with your travels from the beginning. Motor on and stay safe.

[@captainjbchartersinc.2785]

Man you guys are living, love your boat as well. Be awesome one day to get a ride on a MTI.

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

Man! What a killer video… favorite channel BY FAR! Keep it up guys👊

[@Howe2Live]

Thanks so much! PM us in FB mention this comment and we'll get you some SWAG:) M&S

[@terryattewell5842]

Awesome content. Love the deer pictures and the educational content. Keep up the great work, you guys are awesome

[@ByteMyWire]

Another great video. I would say I keep watching for the high end video production and story telling. The truth is I'm in love with your boat and it makes me happy to see her run on that magic blue carpet. Can't wait for the rest of the series. 😁

[@Howe2Live]

Wow, thank you!

[@abrasivereshaping6317]

Love your adventures! Especially loved how you explained docking, well articulated! You guys ROCK!

[@firetaz39]

Great narration and music transitions.. Enjoyed the trip very much.

[@travishall9398]

Another great video! Dry Tortugas are on our bucket list. Maybe a polarized filter for the camera? I may do some digging on the colors on water.

[@xsakenx5399]

I love to watch traveling content and learning about the places each content maker goes to, Sailing SV Delos, Sailing Doodle, Curl Caz, Van boys and i can keep going and going. They are international travelers and tell a story but out of all of them, you guys are in my top 2 KZbin channels that I just love to watch. Sure the crazy fast speed boat is fun to watch skip across the water and your new catamaran is as slick and sexy as a boat can be. (Not to mention that fact that Sara is a bomb shell) but that's not what sold me on your channel. I love someone that can tell me a story filled with facts and entertainment. Yall get my attention and keep it every time. Keep up the amazing content. P.S. Don't be afraid to make the vids longer, most of us will still watch it.

[@azcharlie2009]

Dude, I have watched hundreds and hundreds of videos. This is one of THE best I've ever seen! Enjoyable, informative, and beautiful!! The best 20 minutes I've ever spent watching.

[@Howe2Live]

Wow, thanks!

[@MRumfelt]

I caught some awesome Cobia at that ship wreck you visited!

[@wesleyferguson6932]

I hope one day I will be able to get there. I've heard about it in the early 1960s.

[@JRSCASSELLATI]

Great job guys !! So well done.. Possibly your best vid yet!! The colors are magnificent !! Nothing like almost flat calm Tortuga seas . Last time (winter) i was there it was rough as hell.. keep em coming..

[@hookwrench1060]

Another beautiful adventure. Thank you once again for sharing.

[@tomeickhorst6787]

So cool to watch you guys from developing the Ripsaw on Tv to now

[@OFFGRID_Trucker]

That would be a blast doing 100+. Nice format of storytelling and the 360 camera. Cracked up at the "OH NO" with the drone situation.

[@kenkenlab]

Thank you again for the great video. Japan also has the beautiful ocean of Okinawa as represented by Ishigaki Island. I have never had the concept of building a tent on top of a speedboat like you guys. But after watching your video I am copying it too. That is the point, the sea breeze is nice and very comfortable.

[@kennybaumann2117]

I get so excited when I get a H2L notification because I know it's going to be fun and educational. My only wish is I would get those notifications more often ❤

[@MartinMotorcycler-f9s]

The BEST channel on KZbin! Your videos are not only fun, and educational, but inspirational. You 2 are the reason why I'm also going to buy an MTI boat. Sarah, you are likely the best wife on earth as well. Cheers, Martin.

[@Howe2Live]

Wow, thank you!

[@paulnlori]

Another great video. So beautiful. Mike and Sarah you guys are the best. Stay safe and healthy.

[@chrisw341]

❤️❤️❤️ your vids I live through u on this We all had cigs back in day here in Dallas ….. keep them coming !!!!

[@gillisdanos9354]

I was a boat captain for over 40 years I passed near Dry Tortugas many times and I know what color blue you're describing.

[@DavidRoyal-y9o]

Great weather nice calm waters to trim up and fly

[@P-J-W-777]

Awesome video as always. Would love to see those areas, but seeing I’ve never been to Florida in my 47 years oh well at least I can see it from your videos.

[@Howe2Live]

Maybe one day! Thanks for watching and commenting:)

[@brian2359]

Great video! Mike, I find wearing my hat forward keeps it from blowing off on my boat. If I turn it around, the bill lifts right up and off goes the hat. Do you find that too? Now, my boat tops out at a senior citizen 60 mph, so it only happens at slower speed! lol. And of course I’ve got a bow rider, so it’s not exactly built for high speed

[@michaeldenicola6725]

Great video it is very beautiful Thanks for sharing. Safe Boating

[@elianselmi4099]

Another excellent video with fantastic story telling! LOVE the view from the camera mounted on the engine cross bar! WOW.... looking forward to the next episode

[@roadrashr6]

Love when I see this bell ring. Great video as always.

[@pacfan1165]

Beautiful content, what a great adventure, never seen water so blue, just subscribed, safe travels!

[@Howe2Live]

Thanks so much!

[@Nomoreutube]

I know what you mean by seeing the deep blue waters and not being able to capture it on film. Great video

[@kingkustomz33]

We don't have a boat but the hotel at the Perry is awesome! For the price its a nice place to be.

[@Oceangoesit]

What a dream for the powerboat community! Well done

[@licensedtwochill]

Your videos are so inspiring, I don't mean from a monetary standpoint either as you can make that trip in a 25 year old boat you bought on Facebook marketplace, but you're truly living. The memories you'll have in your 80s are the stuff dreams are made of. I'll keep exploring through your videos until I'm able to make a few of these trips myself. Thank you!

[@Howe2Live]

Wow thank you! And thanks for being here!

[@billb8541]

Another epic video from my favorite youtube channel !! I wish you put out more videos more often ! Thanks for the great videos ! Love u guys

[@OutofDarkness_jik]

@howe2live Thank you so very much for taking us with you on this journey today. I have always wanted to explore west of Key West without taking the tourist boats and planes. Question: How do you know if you need permission to dock your boat in the places that you tie up? I would love for you to share about the "rules of the road" when it comes to where you can go and where you cannot in your boat... All I know are the red and green markers at the entrance to some harbors, but always wondered what the rules are "once you're out there" and then when you arrive at places like the Dry Tortugas. BTW much respect for not marketing/pushing the whole subscribe button thing like so many YTers are doing. It's akin to a pastor telling you to raise your hands in church. It's all about the organic decision of the heart, and for that I much respect you for having that position. Thank you again for the time and effort you put into taking us on your journeys. Marc.

[@Howe2Live]

Wow, what a thoughtful comment. Thanks so so much. At the end of the day, there are so many rules in the Dry Tortugas you're bound to probably break one or two and not even know it. We went to the government parks website - www.nps.gov/drto/index.htm - and studied them for like days. In the end we just try to mind all the rules and be respectful. Have a great day and hope to see you out there sometime. M&S.

[@sully122]

Sweet!!! Another Howe2Live adventure with Mike & Sarah!!! So good to see you!! Such an awesome adventure!! Thanks for taking us along!! Love the camping on the boat decks! Had an opportunity back in April to spend a couple of weeks in Bonita Springs, Fla and Tarpon Springs!! We had gorgeous weather. Only thing we were missing was an MTI!! LOL....Commentating was STELLAR as always!! Video quality off the Chain!! I have been held down with a 3rd degree burn to my left foot for 4 weeks, your video came at an awesome time!! Was getting stir crazy!! God Bless!! Looks like the 4 of you had a blast!! Thanks Again!!
