Provisioning and seeking shelter in BOOT KEY HARBOR

tulasendlesssum... Marathon is an absolute great place to stop and provision while sailing through the FL Keys. There is a publix, target, west marine, and a number of other stores and restaurants within walking distance of Boot Key Harbor. On top of that there are over 250 moorings in a super protected harbor and the city marina is super friendly with some amazing resources.

Love ur personalities and the way u two get along.. keep on videoin and I will continue to watch! Great stuff guys! Leaving in the am to go to Dominican for some sun in the fun! Keep up the awesome work! Please!!

[@leoniewellesley6684]

What a lovely dog Jetty is! So smoochy! :)

[@swiftadventurer]

...thinking its the longest stretch of video that Sierra has spoken seriously about a topic...nice!

[@chrisbell9319]

You two are an inspiration. Live your dream.

[@jfraney6002]

Been here since the beginning, and the trip just keeps getting better!!

[@GradyRho92]

Yes. Dry Tortugas. I went like 10 years ago and I loved it. Best snorkeling ever. Huge rays and turtles.

[@scottarceneaux7745]

You Two are great.Thanks for the Videos.Just found your channel.Keep up the good work.Will be following your journey.

[@alicea153]

Billy was my dad's name...I have 2 sons that I love very much (29 yrs old and 37 yrs old) but they could use a little bit of Billy's easy going way of life! Am smiling watching you two enjoy life so much! Even doing laundry looks fun! (Even if it's not, lol)

[@csranch2000]

Wow that last meal looked amazing! Loved the video guys.

[@chrisjob6350]

Nice short entertaining updates from you guys. Just wanted to say really like your channel. All the best from Stockholm, Sweden

[@robfraley4210]

Love the shopping (any kind) at the stores and would Like to go in the Marine stores with you as well...!! Dinner looked great😳😱👍✅

[@hankjohns4095]

Love watching you guys! I am planning on trailering down to the Keys for a couple weeks next winter.

[@lafe5804]

Thanks for all the fantastic videos.

[@sgtkingking2228]

I'm still watching and relaxing from cold Toledo, Ohio. Smooth sailing and stay safe.

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys, smooth sailing ⛵🌬 P.S. Go Jetty. 🐕 didn't forget ya.

[@petermyers479]

Great! I'm glad you stopped at Boot Key Harbor. It's a nice municipal marina. Marathon is a great little fishing and sailing town. Don't forget to spend at least one quiet peaceful rural night in Newfound Harbor. Coupon Bight will be really nice with your dingy. Jetty will be able to find little beaches too. Might catch some fish at night with live bait around the lights on the dock at Little Palm Island too. There are lots of Dolphins in the whole area. Best wishes, tight sails, fair weather. Thanks for another nice video.

[@nt4g1]

Thanks guys.. Glad to see the rebuilding.. Gulf weather supposed to be really bad In a week.. high seas

[@HeatherRoach818]

Great update, I appreciate seeing the grocery shopping, silverware sharing, and propane stove info. Goooood stuff!! Keep up the good work y'all!

[@johnnukecop]

This was a fun (figurative, not literal, thank goodness) "nuts and bolts" kind of episode - a nice slice of your life. I was thinking of you guys and wondering how keeping warm was going when the temps in Miami were in the 40's. Fair seas and the warm waters find you soon. P.S. Billy, we all know you are a fortunate blessed man, but dude, this caps it. She likes ribs!!

[@robbierheinlander3697]

Got my tula's endless summer T shirt! Love it! Keep up with the videos. Can't get enough! From sarasota

[@austinl.2703]

Another great video of a great adventure ! !

[@brianpetersen3429]

Excellent video! Your fine dinning experience looked great.

[@dejanira2]

Sounds like a beautiful location, friendly people, etc. 🙂🙂

[@sauldiaz5988]

Enjoy the video buddy thanks.......be safe out there guys....

[@marshallpoe8087]

The cookies and frosting looked good - you could have shared guys!

[@edsmetaldetecting31]

Great video!! It’s nice that Billy’s Mom comes to visit.

[@bobjohnson1710]

Thank you Billy for actually contemplating taking a side trip out to the Dry Tortugas! I've watched several videos online that were filmed there and the place seems to have a special magic about it. With your talent with a video camera and editing, I'm betting you'll come back with some really nice footage! I wish I was going with you!

[@donjohnston3776]

Marathon is such an enjoyable place. My wife and I enjoy visiting the Publix there for deli sandwiches. The Turtle Hospital is a must see destination.

[@Newzchspy]

Don Johnston they're called PubSubs , just so you know!

[@the710show8]

Y'alls food looked so good, look forward to the next video!

[@scottpetrone6284]

Thank you for the 10 minute vacation! Looking forward to the Dry Tortuga's/Fort Jefferson vids. Fort Jeff was a prison and held Dr. Mudd who treated John Wilkes Booth after the Abraham Lincoln assassination. Try using conch for bait while fishing for Snapper. The mutton's love conch as well as yellowtail and lane snapper. Bravo Zulu Bill & Sierra

[@RenegadeSailing]

You guys are great! Top 5 sailing/boating channels to me. And I watch A LOT of channels!!! Just sold my h340 shopping for new boat now. Hopefully be down there by summer or def just after Annapolis fall sailboat show. Y’all should plan a meet and greet somewhere.

[@davecote21]

Always A Pleasure! Thanks !!

[@johnnysims2136]

You guys have the best videos on KZbin!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks so much Johnny!

[@mrmusicmanic]

Love your videos there so interesting. Especially when it's winter in the uk

[@rachelferguson5283]

So much fun!

[@wornslapout]

So excited for you two getting a catamaran at your age. See something, and reach for it! Never let anyone tell you you can't do it.

[@colliesworld6380]

That dinner looked awesome!

[@claytonwood4841]

Love the videos! Makes me want warm weather!

[@randalljohnson4160]

Back in to 70;s I lived on Big Pine and the closest place to do laundry was in "Bore-a-thon (went to the 7 mile grille for a grouper sandwich while the laundry was dryin') Check Bahia Honda, blue hole, key deer, no-name pub and the Florida Bay backcountry cya

[@normanalvarez5751]

Awesome love the Florida Keys

[@rickseifert9040]

Can’t wait to see when you guys get to Key West. And the dry tortugas!

[@sailingddcircumnavigation5931]

Good times

[@robertweigandt9449]

Dinner looker great.

[@Oxnate]

Billy's mom is a nurse shark? Wow. Makes so much sense now.

[@captraykelly]

Those lamb chops looked delicious. Enjoy. Safe travels.

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

Oh man! I miss Publix sooooo much! Their fried chicken is the best ever! So is their sweet tea! Their subs are really good as well!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Nothing beats a pubSub!

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

Some how some way I need to get back to Seminole/St Pete. Are you guys going to make it back to see the Grand Prix Of St Pete? Would be interesting to see the races from the water.

[@slamboy66]

Great now I'm hungry .... looks good

[@stevecrombie5357]

Thank you, another great video.

[@sdevilx1074]

U guys should sail to Key west there might not be room in the marina but there is this huge anchoring station and next to it on this island is one of THE BEST RESTURANTS ever it’s called latitudes

[@MsRandiCook]

So glad you are having fun!

[@garyfreeman8523]

Another great video

[@toniboi9284]

You guys deserve a million subscribers every season you 3 are awesome

[@leone390987]

Hey u guys are eating like kings..... have fun,,,,,!!

[@skipperup]

Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas ...definitely a must! Then ft Myers is pretty cruiser friendly(or use to be)

[@davidrahn8939]

Love your new cat but miss the Whaler!

[@stevemuskett9553]

You guys rock love your vids!

[@williamswezey6715]

good looking food

[@richardklyce3448]

Liked your music.

[@stormy9770]

hurry clean the on board water tank out , everyone forgets. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS..

[@craftyladydi]

Hey, sail by Looe Key! The meal looks delicious.

[@kevbjork1]

Good plan shutting off the propane every time. We know of a new catamaran that exploded, burned and sank at the dock last year in Florida. Reportedly there was an electrical fire behind the stove which set the propane line on fire. The propane tanks had been left open and, well, a new boat gone.

[@colinblankenship2401]

thanks for sharing.

[@garywinters2282]

Lamb chops look delicious, speaking of lamb chops when ya gonna put a ring on your lamb chop?!💘

[@FRE2FALL5]

Wondering if you ran into a couple of friends of mine living on a Morgan outlander named Bob and Maria? Their boat is docked by the laundry! Bob works at thye Aquarium and Maria works at the Dolphin center.

[@dieselram05]

Awesome video as always!

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Thanks for sharing 😎

[@alphasxsignal]

Yes there is one bridge that was never replaced to make it taller.

[@sbmotorgroup9946]

If you get a chance, walk over to keys fisheries for dinner and eat on the second floor. Good seafood and they have decent music sometimes.

[@gregwelch7023]

Great videos. Keep em coming!

[@SlowBoatSailing]

Everybody loves Boot Key Harbor! Were there many sink boats from Irma?

[@boblewin7099]

Sierra, Billy...been a sub for quite a while. Got the sweatshirt & I love it. 72yrs old here. BTW, what is the name of your theme song, just love it? Thanks Bob from Long Island

[@jefftorres1236]

need that recipe food look good... make me hungry

[@MsRob1977]

The food looks pretty good you should do some more cooking videos.

[@dawn2788]

You had heavy jackets on in the cabin, what is the temp inside the cabin? Last week Florida had a front that got the temps into the low 40s.

[@desertdweller4951]

Awsome video, god bless

[@jeffheffner6196]

Please stop at Looe Key Marine Sanctuary. I'm curious about how it weathered Irma. (Approximate coordinates: WikiMiniAtlas24°32′51″N 081°24′24″W)

[@jdodson1093]

Cool! Love you both. Always great to see your videos. One thought, propane collects in the lowest possible location. I'm not sure what your setup is but, propane "pools". One spark can be deadly! Thank you both for sharing.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+J Dodson yup we have two large vent holes at the lowest part of the sealed locker.

[@jdodson1093]

Great! Enjoy and sail safe.

[@g-man3265]

Billie just wanted to throw it out there. I repair forklifts and if you ever want to check for propane leaks. Make up a soap and water solution and spray it out of a squirt bottle and watch for the bubbles. Keep up the great videos guys! Love it

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+G-man 32 ah yes just got ours recertified and the guy did the same thing although with a brush with soapy water around all the fittings instead of a spray bottle

[@sailingsvteakkeyrandyfryli8206]

Ok that looked great for a rainy night ,Did I see cookies...........lol S/V Teak Key

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+Sailing S/V Teak Key Randy Fryling oh yah you did. Sierras specialty

[@Cosmic_Cowboy-0]

Hey I was just at the aquarium three months ago

[@joanstump285]

Would you recommend marathon as a place to live. Go to the dry Tortuga its awesome

[@NickPDX22]

Need to come around to the PNW! Colder rougher waters but would be fun right?! :)

[@Sailboatstory]

Billy - Sierra's got a mean right jab. You should really be more careful. Sierra - Billy's got a broken nose. Try not to get his blood on your clothes.

[@bobn1378]

Your at the city Marina? The old Navy Docks. They should have a utility room there also Incase you need to do some mechanical work. Think there’s vises and a work bench or two. My dad docked his Morgan there from April til October. Nice spot. Enjoy Key West. Yep correct on the bridge on the inter-coastal west to east. You’re living the dream. Glad the yacht is doing well on the Shake Down Cruise. Those chops look good!

[@SuperDave-vj9en]

You guys are so resourceful and a minimal drain on the environment. I like it! Just wish the two of you were better fisherman.....

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+Super Dave is too...

[@aquious953]

The coast guard says that you should move from the mooring ball and anchor if its over 40knot winds.

[@bennew8076]

publix is the best!

[@spinnaker5514]

Hi Guys, It's funny I'm going in the opposite direction of you. I just decided that I can no longer sail and opted to buy a trawler (32 Grand Banks). I'm hoping to prolong my time out on the water! How did you advertise your trawler? I'm currently advertising on Craig's List but that's it right now. Any suggestion?

[@stuartsimmons956]

My friends Kindra and Bruce are there in a Gemini, did you meet them by any chance? I thought I saw their boat in the mooring field.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+Stuart Simmons I don’t think so yet. What’s the name of their boat?

[@stuartsimmons956]

Southern Cross

[@mikegregory222]

Cauliflower is the bomb

[@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN]

Being a RN I can imagine what food poisoning would look like. Do you stock basic medications when your sailing? Although the work out videos prove your pretty fit.

[@dragonblee1]

Hi guys, thanks for the update, I agree with you about cages it sickens me. I like your glasses they suit you Sierra. Cheers

[@coltonsstuff17]

AYYYYYYY Ya got tostitos

[@willstinson9598]

Hello guys I'm new to your channel. I've been watching a lot of your back videos over the past couple days; as I've recently become very fascinated and interested and someday being able to pursue the sort of Lifestyle. In this video a kind of off-the-wall question came to mind Sierra referenced the marina you're at having Wi-Fi but a lot of your videos take place under way where you're not docked some place. I wanted to ask and hoped maybe you'd be able to answer back when you're out at sea how do you guys maintain internet access I understand a big reason to choose this lifestyle would be to disconnect from the ties of Technology but you still manage to upload and do videos and all that sort of stuff how does that work out at sea?

[@sdevilx1074]

Hey I’ve been to dat aquarium

[@silliwanker73]

My favorite couple on KZbin. How did you two meet?
