Just a simple video showing myself and some friends staying the night out on 'The Hook'
The 'product' I mention is called a 'Mooring Bar'. By chance, while I was making this video a friend introduced me to the inventor. I was told he was very close to producing and marketing an innovative tool for boaters. His invention allows small boats to tie up together without fear of bumping into one another, even if waked by another boat or in rough seas. It could also attach a boat temporarily to a dock cleat. I have witnessed a fender blow up when smashed between my boat and my friend Matt's boat, so I was very intrigued. The actual product isn't for sale yet, though. So, my part as a guy that might showcase an existing item was not really viable. And to invest a large sum of money to get molds made and parts ready for retail isn't a reality for me. Even though if this idea took off, it could be very lucrative, I have already set my sights on creating a different business. This path of making a 'Mooring Bar' a thing you can find in stores is meant for someone else. And like I said in this video, I think the inventor is a nice dude. So, I offered to show his idea in hopes that there might be someone out there willing to help him raise the nearly 200k he would need to get this product in stores.
Having high hopes of my own to start a kayak rental/destination here in Tampa, I understand how scary it is to have such dreams and truly wish this guy well and mentioned this for nothing. It's not making me a dime to add this to my video, but it feels right to use the reach on social media I have to possibly help this guy achieve a dream. Lord knows, I couldn't have gotten to where I am without a few people spreading the word about me and my kayak adventures on RU-vid! So, this is a small gesture of me giving back.
Anyone who thinks they can help can him can message me in the comments or on my Facebook page and I'll get you both in touch with each other.

It would be nice to someday say, You've heard of the Mooring Bar? I helped that guy get started!
And like I said at the end of the video, THANKS to everyone out there keeping trash where it belongs; Out of our waterways
Thanks for Watching
