Day 3 of our 10 day boat trip up the West coast of SW Florida. In this episode, we travel North from Cayo Costa’s Pelican bay where we anchored the night and are heading to Boca Grande sandbar near Placida. We join the party, explore the area, dive under the boat in the clear waters and take our dog Matey for a visit to a local sandbar island.
Join the crew of Happy Ours aboard our 2006 341 Meridian sport bridge motor yacht as we cruise to exotic and fun places in and around the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Myers and the rest of Florida and beyond.

You know what would be cool about this type of video is if you could mention the coordinates to get to places like this. Last weekend, before hurricane Idalia, we were at Cabbage Key and headed up to try and find the sand bar. No luck, maybe the tide was still high or I went to the wrong spot. Either way great video, and good to hear that Happy Ours and the pontoon did well during the storm.

One thing we didn’t like about Boca Sandbar is there was no dry land. You wade around in 2-3’ of water. Matey is only 1’ tall. Lol

Love this video, always looking for clear water and calm places to raft up. Currently in upstate NY, watching the snow come down, slowly losing my mind. Ha! Now that you have boated much of SW Florida, what area would be your favorite place to both live and boat? Weighing both land (Nice town, reasonable real estate) and sea opportunities (places to anchor, restaurants and other places to tie up).....Looking for either the boat on a back yard lift, or at a close convenient marina.

Cape Coral has the most affordable canal homes available that we can find. The waters in the immediate area aren’t blue like Boca Grand due to the Caloosahatchie River flow, but can get to nicer waters once you get away from the river outflow.

I THANK you two for bringing back some very fond memories I didn't get there when I was down in PG last October I had a rental 24' SeaPro from my boat club at fisherman's village but just didn't make it to the sand bar was the burger boat there the same day? I found out about the sandbar back in 2002 from a guy at fishin Frank's and drove my 18.5 Searcy there with a humminbird fish finder that was a bit tricky I beleave the old railroad trestle was used to transport people and phosphate from Boca Grande anyway be back down next month for some home hunting and R&R Have a stellar day!!😎👍

Fun trip. I went through there on my reverse version of your trip to FL (we went from Palmetto, FL to CT). Really glad I watched your series before my trip, it was very helpful. Oh, and don’t ever watch a Sailrite instructional video on RU-vid. You’ll instantly know the soundtrack. 😂

Looks nice and warm. Meanwhile, we've got 60 degrees over here in northern Europe, both in the air and in the sea. On good days we get 80 degrees. I need more Florida in my life!

I love your videos. It is so great to see a loving couple living life! Keep it up!. Can you add some kind of bias to your depth finder so that it reads true depth? Like 0 = 2"

Great sandbar! Only sandbar we have is at the beginning of the Erie/Mohawk River sewer plant outlet for treated water. Lol

There is that little island between locks 6 and 7! I see boats there often.

@lesliefleming4359 Год назад
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs you’re right. The island is a little ways before the sewer plant. right above our home marina. We call the inside of that island ducky Bay, L O L. Always lots of ducks floating around in there. Dropped a anchor in there a few times to just sleep on the boat

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs it’s a small world isn’t it. Around here they call the twin Bridges the Dolly Parton bridge. Believe it or not you can drive your boat inside of that island easily. You will have about 12 feet of water under your keel from either end

The ICW goes from Carrabelle/Apalachicola to Texas. From Panama City Beach to Orange Beach Alabama there’s some great areas. Crab Island in Destin is beautiful when the tide is in and a major party spot during the summer months. Lots of other good beach areas in the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area. Google it for some good photos.
