[@Koky1111]

I didn’t know Fort Jefferson was so big, you and Your Doña are in good shape and your beautiful dog too,God bless you all.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks so much cap and yes is a big place

[@alfonseca9284]

Captain, I think what I like the most about your videos is that I never stop watching till the end because I don't want to miss anything. It's always something new. See you on the next one!

[@OutOnTheReef]

You are awesome, captain.Thank you for being a awesome viewer of the channel👍👍🎣⚓️🛥

[@captainrick9379]

Well one thing is for sure, You might not have the biggest boat out there, But you sure eat as good or better then the big yachts Out there! 😎👍⚓🌴

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very true! thank you and no need for a dingy with a engine , thanks for coming along cap, captain Rick

[@AchikSarih]

I thank you very much, my brother, for this distinguished work. You are offering something special to all of humanity❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are awesome buddy thank you❤️❤️🛥⚓️🎣

[@gator-ii7sw]

absolutley magical as usual captain... safe travels

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks cap. For joining us in our trip👍

[@Michelli01]

What a beautiful video. Sorry the Mrs felt sick. Maybe shouldn’t stop and fish , just trips. Was hysterical when she was throwing zingers - “how come our dingy doesn’t have a motor “ 🤣. “Because we’re on a budget “. “But they have motors and we have paddles” Had me laughing. I predict a small engine , even electric, in the near future for that dingy. Great to see a video with you both on and the fur baby. Thanks for sharing- videos are wonderful

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol yes we are sailor on a budget 😄 Thanks cap for Coming along by watching, And yes it was great to have her in the puppy on board. Have a great night captain

[@BillJohnston-y7o]

We went 3 years ago, it's an awesome place. You guys picked the perfect time I guess, you have the whole place to yourselves.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes, captain.It was by accident coming in late.Nobody was there, but I hope you can come visit again. and the best time to be.There is early mornings or late evenings before sunset

[@ghostrider729]

Bro,I've been out on 3 charters to fish the Tortuga's,I've recently found out it is not allowed anymore, we came out of stock island n ran!!! We never went to the fort,I wanted to,but was out voted!!! It's been probably 15 years ago too. THIS is 1 of your best vids, especially entertaining because of the fort!!!! It's crazy we had prisoners there in the 1800's imagine how hard it was. Very little commerce to equip the island!! Thank you for showing us!!!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you captain and yes it would have been great if we would have visited it but I know when you're with all the people you get voted out And yes, you. 're not allowed to fish about 8 miles.Around the fort And thank you for the great video review I really appreciate it and I hope you can go back there again cap And actually Visit the fort

[@andrewfyakim525]

Hi Capt.... this is a beautiful video; the sunset was amazing, as was the bright moon! I'm sorry the wife was sea-sick. I've been-there-done-sea-sick a few times in my life; there is no 'amusement-value'! ☺.... We had friends who always took their dogs with them; it's a lot of work taking them to shore, but is worth it to have them along on the trip!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes they are cap.having our pets is great because they are part of the family and yes once you are sick the day is over but once she gets to land everything gets better And the english was an awesome place to sleep captain, thanks for coming along cap.

[@christianruiz8410]

Great adventure Captain, and Ina is such a well behaved crewmember!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks cap. She is a awesome dog but sometimes she has her moments 🤣

Thank you captain for coming along by watching see you next time

[@paolorossi7578]

Hey my wife and I enjoy watching all your videos. We commend your on your endeavors. Any how having said that as a chef and a boat owner like yours, I would like to give you a pointer. I like to take all my garlic chopped or minced and mixed with olive oil before our boat adventure. No need to worry about that hastle later. Also dice all your peppers and onions or julienne them. How ever you like them. Perhaps both. Season your beef prior. Salt will age it nicely. Pre made Sammy’s maybe? Not necessary but it’s convenient. I like to have tuna or chicken salad ready to go. Any who food for thought.

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks for the awesome pointers cap and yes that will help a lot wile cooking on my boat and thank you and your wife for being part of my channel cap👍😉⚓

8:00 good on you Capt for taking accountability for the honest mistake. Dinner looks great I'd only have added some capers and fresh lemon or lime for acidity. For the guys that want to see your face id just take the mask off and blur out your face in the software 😅

[@OutOnTheReef]

lol cap i love the way you think, and yes we have to take accountability sometimes 😉👍 and yes some capers and fresh lemon would been great we just forget to pack them, thanks for watching and being a awesome viewer cap.

Hi Cappy. Havent commented in a while but always watching. Love your trips to Bahia Honda and the DT's. For your birthday im buying you a pwc battery and a 55lb trolling motor for your dinghy! Looking forward to the next vid.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol cap you are awesome buddy Tell me the brand and if you PayPal me I will purchased it in your behalf but is not needed 😉⚓️🛥

After living in s fl for 40 years i can tell you many many boaters including myself every year navigate the dry Tortugas's and Port Jefferson its a beautiful place for Shure...

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes cap ois one of my favorite places too

[@D3MON_KOR3]

Navigate safely cap. Another great video, thanks for showing us these locations, I want to visit them all lol. Your dog looks exactly like your other dog ❤🧭🛥️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌴🌴🌴

@@OutOnTheReef oh yes it's going to happen, we are taking the American Yankee tour service, my friend has a boat but it doesn't have a cabin so we are going around the closer keys in that and taking the Yankee to Tortuga's👍🏽

[@OutOnTheReef]

@H4TTOR1_H4NZO That's a great option , captain , and you will have a awesome time And they let you camp here but without air conditioning on the summer I don't recommend 😉

[@francus7227]

Sea sick.... UUHHGGG ! I've tried every medication available, both OTC and prescription. If the boat stops off shore, I start. For some reason, even if it's choppy, I'm okay inshore. So.... I stay in the intracoastal waterway. It has plenty of enjoyable navigable water. I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters. They got back to me and said it wasn't as delicious as yellowtail/shrimp pasta.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you, captain and I will give you a little pointer. The reason you get sick when you're offshore is because you can't see land you need to focus to the horizon like you were looking at land, and that helps you out. That's how I control myself when I get sick. And thank you for feeding the Argorithm monster he's always hungry LO. L.

[@rdland2985]

Awesome video Cap and Mrs Cap! Good fresh ginger (Vietnamese ginger is best... sliced in small slivers) in a tea helps immensely for seasickness... used it several times while out in rough weather. Of course everyone's body is different and it will take different things to help... hope thistip helps someone out there

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@rdland2985 Thank you got them for sharing your tip And I will pass it all along to my wife.Thank you for watching

[@francus7227]

@rdland2985 Nice. I'll never use it. My offshore days are OVER. But Out on the Reef has thousands of viewers. Maybe one will read this, try ginger, and have a pleasant day offshore.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@francus7227 thanks cap for sharing it with all of us

[@Koky1111]

One of the thing I regret in my life,been in Key Largo and Tavernier for about 45 years going to key West many times in my life,never been in Fort Jefferson,

[@OutOnTheReef]

Wow captain and don't fell bad because 97% of Americans don't know Fort Jefferson exist

[@richardbeese7635]

Hey Skipp, I took the chart plotting course when I did the safety course with our local coast guard. You do everything the way we were instructed. Now being at the helm and putting hours in the log which by the way I suggest you do it gives proof of hours at the helm. Were you a coastie or have you taken any courses? What I tell guests on my boat when we're not underway look at the horizon where the ocean meets the sky, don't sit in the cabin it gets worse

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you, captain and I have not taken any courses, but I know the safety and ocean like you saw In my case, bit is always good to improve some skill, thanks fpr the tip cap and now you are ready for the sea👍👍

[@jeffreypinder9398]

The First Mate and your pup were troopers. I'm sure they were glad to get on dry land. Spell your pup's name, please. I hear Kina but my hearing is failing. Did you see any signs the says "No Pets Allowed"? Hope that didn't affect your visit. Nothing with a "one man horsepower dingy". I've rowed my share of days while boating for 50 years. Your First Mate plans ahead, well done, Mam. Momma (First Mate) has some serious cooking skills. That dinner looked fit to eat.

[@OutOnTheReef]

lol cap and her name is Ina and no problems with the pet but we found a sing after the occasion and yes my wife can cook thanks for coming along my trip cap and more to come from this trip 👍😉

Capt after that wonderful dinner bet you guys slept like baby, it would been lights out for me [lol]

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol cap. And yes we slept great and the ocean was very calm 😌 😴

[@Totalstang]

Captain, are there a lot of bugs and mosquitoes there this time of year? My boat is a cuddy cabin not a crooked pilot house so I will be exposed to the elements.

[@OutOnTheReef]

well cap at this time there was no bugs specially mosquitos probably because there is no water deposits any ware , but always be prepare for the worse just incase things change , have a awesome trip cap.

[@thelifeoffastony1157]

At 6:15 I'm not sure if you're doing it purposely or not but you're rowing the dinghy wrong.. supposed to row towards your backside... Birds don't bark, they chirp and white wine goes with seafood, not red...

@kochykoo lol that is a awidea cap. I thought about it but I think the boat would tilt 🤣

[@kochykoo]

@@OutOnTheReef you know you just need so side riggers like they put on them island boats. In them riggers you could add so hydro power generators that would spin in the current so you could make power while your fishing lol
