The birds squawked me to sleep the 2 nights we were there last year. I actually found the non-stop bird noise comforting. This was one of my favorite destination boat trips that I've ever done. Great video.
I used to camp out 7 or 8 times a year. Sometimes with no tent. A suggestion for next time…instead of taking one huge tarp to drape over part of your boat in case of rain, take two small tarps, one for each of you and roll up in it if it rains. Love the videos! I’ve learned a ton from y’all that I use fishing here in NC.
Thank you for everything y’all do. Love the topics and bloopers!!👍👍👍👍👍 BTW: Hot is hot no matter how acclimated. It makes 80 to 85 at night with a breeze over the water feel cold w/o that cover.
Super cool! I would've thought for sure that bugs would get you from the island but thankfully not. As for that mac 'n cheese... might be worth bringing a Jet Boil or similar next time.
The entire part of Bush Key is a nesting rookery usually closed during the nesting season and Yes! all those birds are loud!!! Fort Jefferson is an amazing place!!
I've camped countless times, many in the heat of summer. Buy a battery operated fan for each of you. You will be amazed. Lastly, get some ear plugs. They work wonders so you can get some rest. Crows were my enemy early in the morning. I think they tracked me down to make noise. Awesome trip!
When you do this for the weekend, what do you look for to make sure the weather is going to coorporate? Or, what do you do if the storms come in and there's no marina to shelter in?
Would you consider taking a family of 7 out to the island later this month, for a cost of course? We would camp on the island. -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸
My friends slept on the island but I did the exact same thing with the air mattress in the bow, but I also set up a one person tent in the back of the boat as a backup.
Hello Gale twins. I’m a really big fan of you two. I love watching your videos they have helped me a lot. I wanted to know how could i get in touch with you so i can know if you can teach me or take me as your charter. I would really want to learn more.
would've be the perfect camp if only there was some mac & cheese😁 was also hope for some grilled cobia or snapper😉 Thansk for taking us along! Never heard or knew of the dry tortugas. very cool! did you guys troll on the way home? 🎣 Wishing you guys tight lines and screamin' drags in the new year!
Ahhhh, youth! Back in the late 70s, I would motorcycle along the California coast and camp any and everywhere the bike would fit. We don't need to stinking camping area.
The food looks great, simple and easy. Next time wrap the asparagus, 4 or 5, with a strip of bacon. Then sprinkle with some pumpkin spice. Taste is delicious
@@GaleForceTwins Thanks, I also wonder if you can help me with this. Do you know of any Marina or Boat Park in the Key West way that you can recommend to store a SeaDoo Swicht Pontoon 21". Thx!
Loved the video and enjoyed watching your trip. I have been bikepacking, Kayak Camping but I have never been camping on a boat. Looks like I have a new adventure I need to plan.
Looks like an absolute blast! The lack of no A/C, beds etc wouldn't be a issue, however no bathroom def would make it interesting depending who you went with & how comfortable you are around them lol... Keep killing it , more camping over night trips would be awesome to explore some places / fish at night that you normally would not be able to do!
@@katep4485 oh okay haha that makes it way less of a issue then. Wasn't sure & I've seen boats around the size of theirs without it sometimes and it's just storage under the center council.
I've always wondered about security when camping on the boat. In the Keys, or any other place. How often has crimes occurred on people sleeping on their boats? Are there any alarm systems designed to detect someone boarding? Especially if you are below decks?
So I’m assuming you guys checked/knew the weather would cooperate? I’m also well pleased to see if I wanted to “boat camp” it would be a great experience!
I’m done with roughing it. I put a six foot bathtub heated by a cast iron boiler - central air conditioning - sixty feet of bug free comfort. I really built a beast. Staying in Montauk for a few year’s before coming down to the keys.
Florida humidity outside is like British houses in summer inside. AC is very rare inside here so it can often be 90 degrees and 95% humidity inside at night in the few weeks it actually gets hot here....I had a point somewhere along the way, Oh yeah, I feel your pain and the Dry Tortugas look amazing.
I do not know how your parents can rest easy in such a vulnerable situation. When you are young, you are fearless & think you are perfectly safe. But, ladies, we live in a dangerous world. Take care.
