Dry Tortugas Loggerhead Key Boat builders need to see this and learn how to build a NONCrooked boat 

The Admiral gets coffee in bed. You spoil her good my friend. You love birds have the most fun. God bless you and your family always Cap-i-tan. ♥️

In 1994 my father drove 22 people on a 21 foot wooden boat to leave Cuba and we made it to dry tortugas. My brother and I were 5 and remember some of the bad weather along the way. It took my dad 28 hours to find land because we had an old boat with old motor and the current would slow us down tremendously, but he did it without resting. We made it and 30 years later we have worked hard and made a beautiful life here. We are very blessed. Great video, I will take my boys there soon so they can learn something about their history.

Your video friends can see that GOD provided you a wonderful wife and helpmate! AND a beautiful, canine Princess!!

Captain, I am planning to take a group of 10 to 15 boats there. Do you think the best bet for parking and ramp is Bahia Honda State Park? your videos provide great information for us to travel hopefully, one day, I could meet with you. thanks

They close everything down..they make life impossible for people...

We made the trip out there, but did the tourist trip on an old boat. That reminds me of the boat that was there, It had a chevy 350 mounted about the same way. Thanks for sharing.

Damn Capt. I must have missed this vid. Great job you and the wife certainly enjoy life well done.HAHA wife caught you pttung the brick back in

Hello from So. California! Take care of your wonderful family and I’ll be taking a four day cruise to Bimini and Nassau soon. Any suggestions while in Bimini? Thank you

Captain when you have no freedom , no food,no nothing, you will find the way to escape from hell, Thousands of my brothers have been eaten by sharks to find a better way if life.

Hi Capt.... Looks like you and the family are having a nice vacation! The water there is as beautiful as the Bahamas....

It's best to meet with the local park rangers to discuss the rules of the park when arriving. That will save you from having them tell you what to do and where to go.

Shot and powder magazines for each Gun..

Great video as always Capt. I think a quick oil change and a little duct tape for the old wreck and she would be good to go cruising again. And I think I know why your brick idea didn't work; you needed to consume a few more Coronas before setting that brick 😂. Take care buddy!

Those aircraft are DeHavilland Turbine Otters. They originally had piston radials but were converted. Great airplanes that are used in Alaska a lot. Been a really long time since I've been to Fort Jefferson. Thanks for having us along. edit: That engine was from a Spanish brand 'Pegasus', of trucks and tractors, Cuba was a major export market.

Interesting story about Dr. Mudd who was an inmate there.

Awesome Video as always! Thanks for taking us with you! 😎👍⚓🌴

Embarkation es lo que se dieron si los deportaron. Lol.

Bonito lugar saludos capitán le recomiendo una ancla o un ladrillo 🙃 mas grande 👍

Awesome adventure with the family. That coffee, thanks a lot for sharing this amazing trip. The brick won't hold! lol....

What is with the mask Lone Ranger ???

No water better than the Fl Keys believe me.

When you row your dingy, you're supposed to have your back to the bow and pull the oars to go forward. I know that seems counter intiuitive (cuz your facing backwards), but it's so much easier to row that way. To each his own I guess.

The engine is damaged from saltwater, but if you put effort in time and take everything apart and rebuild it chances are it might work again 😃

I didn't realize it was so large a place! I'd like to me the brick Mason s and helpers that laid all that brick. And I'm guessing that's Georiga Brick

Why do you always have a mask on?

You got me again. I checked my alarm on the phone ... LOL

Lassie! Come Home!

I like her thinking..."Hope we can get back". Where is the inflatable leaking? Pretty sinister laugh about 11:58. The seaplane is a 1954 DeHavilland DHC-3 (Otter) with a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 -34 turbo-prop conversion owned out of Ketchikan, Alaska. Seventy-year-old airplane with modern day power. Second airplane is a 1961 same model with the same mods. P&W turbo-prop engines can reverse pitch to "backup" when needed but mostly to slow down on landing to save the brake wear on the wheel brakes. Try to get some cheap teflon coated rubber tongs so you don't ruin the teflon coating of your electric skillet Captain. I know "space" is an issue, but it won't be a factor. Time stamp 28:00...the First mate questioning the captain's ability? Pegaso Diesel was from the 40's, later became Iveco/Enasa. Great video, Cap. Chilling by the beach is the best...next to sleeping in the A/C.

saludos capitan lo malo de ese lugar que ahí no hay comida no hay gasolina no hay agua ahí no hay nada con un Viaje que uno vaya a ver las piedras viejas esta batalla y a esa hora de la mañana hay amigos que han ido y dice que han sentido voces gritosen las partes más remota de esa prisión

Great Vid Capt., Island exploring with the wife... Super trip right there every man would love to do!~

I thought u were anchoring the life raft!

I live through you... Awesome!!! Where did you fuel. Isn't it a long way round trip??? I was always wondering how to do that on a smaller boat.

Capt saludos desde Texas.!que significa lo que dices cuando vas a poner el bote en marcha ?gracias, capitán.

No additions or questions. My comment is just to feed the algorithm monsters 👍.

What are the rules/regulations for noise management when Ur on anchor…?

Beautiful Cap.

Great video Captain ( and first mate) I hope you are not thinking about getting a crooked sea plane! That could be dangerous!

Remote batteries might be an issue for the Minnkota?

Cool video and info Island close to Cuba 👍🏼👍🏼

Someday i hope to go there ! Thanks for the video capn

Unfortunately it’s time for it to break. Great vid Capt crooked very interesting at the fort. JT
