Cape Coral Canal Tour - after Hurricane Ian 

Amazing Devastation in "Boaters Heaven on Earth". Cape Coral Canal system is the most unique canal system on Earth.... Hurricane Ian really did a job on this beautiful part of Florida....

Great to see your videos neighbor 😊

Treacherous shallow water all through those areas. You were VERY CAREFUL.. Smart! Fun trip is up the Caloosahatchee River.. under the Bridges to Fort Myers. Love that area... but gotta know the water.

Nice job Captain!

Ian + 3 months, Must be around Christmas. I knew they wanted to get rid of the Chiquita locks, sounds like the state Dept of Env Prot is finally on board. It's not the current, its the eddies which are formed due to the approach geometry of the locks. The smart people will take it at high tide. Thanks for the memories, we'll hopefully be back there soon.

If I was having second thoughts on whether I should try to take a big boat throughs that lock, watching that center console struggle and then at the end, when he actually climbed a foot to the water level on the other side, would have made me be feeling pretty sure I made the right decision to not try to go through that! Enjoyed your video!

What’s up Cap ? You look pretty sunburned?? Great to see Mrs Captain lol. I think Fla is slowly getting back and considering what everyone went threw ! I was in Jax where there was nothing but still feel bad for my neighbors to the south !!! Thanks for the vid. Interesting and cool as usual !!!

Thanks for the video. Made me nervous just watching that boat go thru the lock. Keep up the good work, really enjoy it!

A nice relaxing trip thanks for sharing captain

Thanks for the update.

Love your videos, thank you for sharing.

Where was Matey? The more I see your videos the more I like the boat. It’s a sharp looking craft.

Since you filmed this, there have been extra 4" wood bumpers installed either end of the lock. I went through a week ago and it was fine, but I had been keeping an eye on the tide. Guys around there told me the big boats have been bumping through on occasion. Hopefully this gets removed soon. You also didn't show the big brown yacht that's in the backyard of one of the houses at the entrance to the canals. I'm sure that used to be at Tarpon Point. I heard the owner doesn't have insurance on that boat !

Nice video. Good capture of the damage in that area and the suspect channel markers When you took the pontoon to Pine Island, did you see similar issues with missing channel markers?

I was in beautiful Cape Coral in February scary what you’ve been through, great cleanup Any info on the yacht club and beach

Sad for the erea after ian

0:14 When boats are lifted out of the water like that, are they considered totaled? Or will it still run? Good luck to those of you in sw Florida.

Tom did you get any video of your home when we were getting hlt by the hurricane

Depending on how things go there may not be a Chiquita lock to worry about. I'm not sure what my opinion is on it.

What kind of damage did you have on your boat and house?

You ever let Bridget drive ?

So now Bridgett is a 1st mate and Matey is 2nd mate

Where is your new Captain's uniform and hat wtf
