Dauphin Island Ferry & Estuarium 

I love these videos! Though I can do without the gum chewing into the microphone, sorry!

Maaaan @Abom79 i'm so glad you're showcasing the Pcola area. As someone that grew up in Warrington I feel like people don't give it the time it deserves. Thank you brother man.

I really enjoy these trips you and Abby take, Adam. It shows us that life is not all about working, and that we must get out and enjoy what is available to see. The food segments and cooking you do makes for a well rounded channel. -->Ric

Thank you Adam for the wonderful ride along and making it possible to see all of Gods beauty .

Nice smooth ferry crossing. What a fabulous trip Adam - so good of you to share with us.

Adam and Abby thanks for bringing us along on your beautiful trip I really enjoyed your video.!.!.!.

the one following you is a rig supply vessel (ups for the rigs). can also be used to clean small spills. the crane you saw on the platform with the 4 poles, they tow it out next to the rig. then drive the poles into the sea bed then lift themselves up to deck height of the rig to do repairs on them.

Every time I hear that intro music I smile because I know I get to go somewhere fun!

Rock on Abom! Thanks to you and Abby for showing us some of the beautiful gulf Coast!

I'm enjoying your excursions. I'm enjoying them more seeing you doing them with your gal friend.

...Reminds me of where I grew up in the late 1950's... San Diego and the Coronado Island Ferry....it was already old even back then. You could go down into the engine room and there was a catwalk all the way around....you could watch the engine running with exposed pushrods and rocker arms....engine ran maybe 200 RPM.... The ferry was known as the 'Glass Bottom Boat" it had a couple of big plexi-glass windows on the bottom, and you could see all the fish and ocean floor........

My brother was a First Officer on a big ferry that caries 238 semis. The ferry had twin turbo diesel engines each was 10k+ hp. Route they were frequently taking took 3 days one way and fuel cost per one way was 250k euros. It was pretty brand new ship, everthing had redundancy and automated. The manual control was just a 4" stick, I could not believe it. I guess they just use it to steer away from the automated route and it gets back on course when you let go off it. Ships are pretty amazing thing...

LIVED THERE FOR 13 YR.S , THE FERRY BECAME IN EXISTANCE IN 1979 AFTER HURICANE FREDRIC, IT WAS ONLY WAY AFTER THE BRIDGE WAS DISTROYED OR TO FLY OVER. LOVED SEEING THROUGH YOUR VIDEO AGAIN, THANK YOU

Love these videos Adam. I'll never get to see these places in real-life so thanks man!

Thanks for the video Adam and Abby ! Very nice 👍👍👍

I enjoyed the visit to Dauphin Island Ferry Ride to the fullest. Thanks Sir.

You look happy, Adam. Enjoy it.

I enjoyed Adam! Keep them coming, Thanks!

Adam, You and Abby make a really great looking couple. I am happy for both of you. Gary 74-Year-Old Home Shop Machinist

I love those big boat diesels!

Loving these also Adam, Hello to Abby, Have a little laugh at this boat story... Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day.

Great share Adam & Abby ! Enjoyed .. Thanks for taking us along .. Thumbs up !!

Awesome right in my neck of the woods. Thanks for taking the time out your vacay to share this! PawPaw

Hi Adam really enjoyed this video in fact always enjoy all your videos keep em coming big man.

Adam, Thanks for sharing. I'm happy for you and Abby you guys are such a terrific couple. You are always so happy to be with each other you make a terrific couple. I have to say I enjoy your travel vids as much as the machine work. Blessings, Jeff

Don't feel bad Adam. I've never been on a ferry either... Love these travel log videos...

Thanks for the tour Adam, it's really cool to be able to see what it's like on your side of the planet from down here in south Australia.

I have always liked ferries. Used to cross the Mississippi R. at Baton Rouge, LA on a steam paddle wheel ferry operated be the highway department until I-10 bridge was opened. Have crossed the Red R. from Oklahoma to Texas on a barge type ferry that was guided by a steel wire rope that was strung from one bank to the other. The guides were two pulley wheels in a triangular frame with a wire rope to a hand winch on the side of the ferry for each guide. They let out cable to tilt the barge to the current to use the current to propel the ferry across the river. My wife and I like to take the ferry from Galveston to Port Bolivar, TX. These ferries are about twice the size of the Dauphin Island ferries and have two pilot houses(one at each end). I have used a ferry that was a barge and propelled by a tug boat. Ferries are an adventure.

I can't believe I just watched a video on a ferry ride when I take a ferry all the time and hate it lol

Wow and thanks! I spent a lot of happy summers there attending the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo to collect fish specimens! One of my favorite places anywhere!

Ferries are always a fun break from driving. I've crossed the Mississippi River from Hickman KY to Dorena MO, the Ohio River at Cave-In-Rock IL, and the Danville Ferry over the Tennessee River. Also took the carferry out to Washington Island WI back when I was a kid with my family.

Cool place! Thanks for sharing!

That was awesome, thank you for sharing. Cheers, Craig

thanks for sharing adam and abby and all the info great stuff

Love it Adam! You guys are great travel hosts!!

I'm very happy to see you two :)

Awesome trip enjoy seeing stuff like this !!!!! Relaxing just to see...

Thanks Abby and Adam for taking us along on your adventure! I live on Lummi Island, WA, and ride a much smaller but great ferry, the Whatcom Chief to get to the mainland. If you ever get to this part of the country let me know and I will treat you to a ride!

really cool video. i love learning about other people and places. nice to see some stuff out of the shop. Keep up all the great videos.

Looked like fun.

Thanks for the video,sure brought back memories for me of Dauphin Is.Spent my first week in the Mobile area 1978 on the island.The USCG had a small temporary housing unit .Had a lot of fun there.It took a big hit during hurricane Freddy 1979.

If you happened to see a helicopter flying to the oil wells just off Dauphin Island, I used to fly that job in 2008. One of the more sought after locations to work for PHI in the Gulf of Mexico.

I had a little laugh when you checked out the ram on the ramp lift. it tells you love your job. I like to look at how most mechanical things work also. nice trip. abby seems like a bundle of joy happy in life.

Adam u n Abby are so nice in your vlogs. I been to dolphin island nice place

Great video, keep em' coming!

As a ferry captain, this was cool to see.

As a native Clevelander, I have to say I love the Indians hat!

Another good video, I travel on a ferry regularly to France from where I live in the south of UK, much the same experience my crossing takes 90 minutes. Usually our crossing is on a rougher sea than the day of your adventure.

My wife loved the video and I'm sure she and Abby will get on just fine when we come to visit! Lot's of chips (in the shop) and great food, don't let me down! Will email you soon! Rich

great video adam and abby thanks for sharing

Thanks for the reply Adam! interesting

Nice video, looks like an interesting place.

Adam, I just recently drove down to New Orleans from New Jersey. As I was driving, I noticed a sign for a Dauphin Island exit on the highway. As I drove by a smile came across my face.. If I hadn't been subscribed to your channel, I'd have never even known Dauphin Island existed. -->Ric

Thank you for using your channel to celebrate these great places on the Gulf Coast. Living in the panhandle we love to have day trip and weekend ideas. Alabama and Florida tourism boards should be sponsoring your channel. These videos reach more than just the 130K subscribed as most have family and friends. Now we have two more places to go visit soon. Thanks!

awesome place..

Thank for taking us along... is it crazy that I was more interested in seeing the engine room of the ferry thank the scenic trip out to the island? It looks like y'all had fun.

nice one having fun in the sun

When I saw the ferry I was like, "where is the rest of it?" I am use to the ferries that Run to Seattle from here in Bremerton, the 150 plus car type. I am sure people in other parts of the world would call the Seattle ferries small. Anyway it is a great video. I sure do miss the Gulf of Mexico!

Cool stuff". "Go~Braves". ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️

Real nice video, man! Mark

You and Abby, When you have you'r offspring it must just have the perfect smile!!

Lotta good eatin in that Mobile Bay tank. Edit: Even more in that GOM tank! Makes me hungry just looking at them.

That car ferry must have pod drives. You have not had good fish until you taste Tripletail. There was one in the tank with the redfish. It was dark grey/black fish with 1 tail and 2 adjacent fins that make it look like it has 3 tails hence the name. Sort of looks like a big Bluegill. Great video

Hey Adam, love the videos! All of them! What is the music you use in the beginning and end of this video? Thanks!

Guys Guys .... going on about the gum ,no big deal really . On a side note.... Adam is the type of guy who would've noticed this minor detail and apologised without being prompted .Anyways ..... great content Adam & Abby good job .....

adam very interesting video.

Nice Vid Adam. Do you happen to know why they netted the Moray Eel during feeding time?

I loved that! thank you. do you know why they netted the moray eel when they were feeding the fish?

Great video Adam you looked like a real sailor :) Didn't really care for all those rays locked up in that crappy little tank, they look a lot better out in the sea, oh well that's what all aquarium's do for a living ...

looks like the bay water is pretty green so I'm assuming it doesn't turn over that fast and allows algae to grow which turns into food for ? Hopefully not oily shrimp:)

Tell us how you managed to get the lady to be your chauffeur ??? You sly dog you! Is she driving the super car you bought? You are living the life.......Thanks Adam....enjoyed the video..

Hi Adam 2 things 1) You have a very nice Lady there really beautiful and pleasant face - congrats 2) I live on Vancouver Island and when I first came here really loved the 1 1/2 hour ferry ride - now IT'S A PAIN IN THE BUTT. Used to live in the interior at a place called Nukusp - choice of two ferries in or out but they were quite short and often. Thanks for the Video - Rod

I've done this before in 2019 and 2021

Look like you where going for a jump!

cool trip adam fish like the lion fish usually get the upper hand from man like the ratfish in the Puget sound we caught so many pacific cod and eliminated the competition for herring and the ratfish simply filled the void I find the life cycles of aquatic fresh/salt fishes and animals fascinating stopped fishing though theirs a thing called bioaccumulation and the thing I figure is accumulating in pacific salmon is radioactive particles the ocean currents have been reeely bad and they don't study that at all the state of Alaska looked at a few fish a couple years after the fact and said "no problem"

Have you ever had "Abby" in your shop, while you were working???

Looks like you have so traveling to mr Abom

Dayum..ditch the gum chewing while taking video. 3:17 yeah bro..look at that diesel power rack! Very cool switch-up from the usual machine shop vids.

i wish you would blow the horn when driving onto the ferry. right next to the bloke with his shoes)))

What Ya chewin on?

Well Adam is Abby going to Stan's with you

Hey Adam, I made a video on my channel about me making your tap driver from an SNS from last year. I'd love if you'd check it out, perhaps tell me some things I could do to improve? (I'm an major amateur home gamer) Thanks!

Love seeing you both together, NOW just marry the woman and get it over Adam !!!

Nice video, looks like an interesting place.
