Slow Boat Day | St. John's River Florida 

My ex said he put it on your porch.... But he probably didnt...he ripped me off for 300 grand...my boat... He tried to take my life.... Im ok...i will buy you a new book

@@Cindy-qw6ho he definitely didn't return it.

@@backwatersandbackroads im so sorry...he ripped me off too.... I will get you a new copy

@@Cindy-qw6ho is he the harbor master again this year? They actually did me a favor and motivated me to buy land on the river so I don't have to deal with the marina anymore.

@@backwatersandbackroads they denied him...saw him for what he is

Very helpful. I'm learning the tricks down here slowly. Thanks for this info man

Accidentally commented it as my other channel, oops. You can get some decent catfish if you want to stick your cane pole down in the water Deep with no bobber at the pilings at the locks. Cricket's rule and expect lots of panfish maybe some purple face.

@@Foxboss9 yes! This is helpful. I'll try it. Thank you!

@@backwatersandbackroads we drove through that area today... We had some business back home in NE OHIO but made it back to our current winter stop in Vero Beach.. Soon to hook up the RV and hit Zephyrhills until the RV Supershow in Tampa.. Then onto Orlando then Kissimmee... After that who knows.. Love to travel and watch others do the same, such as you... Keep up the good work..!

Don, did you see I found another one?

@@backwatersandbackroads Another Nomad?

I agree. My conscious doesn't really allow me to do it anymore.

I was thinking the same thing about the doors! ;)

Exactly! Lol

So would you like my number

@@davelawrence6777 yes. Can you email it to me? Text okay?

Good to know! Thank you ;)

Very helpful. Thank you!

I generally agree with everything you say here John. It's hard to bring myself to do it, though the reality is most will just go to the junk yard or bottom eventually

Well, I guess it is a if you don't take it somebody else will.

Okay. Yes...now I know who this is. "A Speck on the Sea" is the book. Wouldn't mind getting that one back ;)

@@cmiketaylor what are my politics?

There was 2 of those cast nets. I'm tempted to go fetch them. Still in Palatka.

@@backwatersandbackroads Be careful. Someone may be using that boat as a casting platform, Hence the sign!

I live there. Anything in the 80s degrees is a cool day. You don’t want to be here in late June, July, August and most of September.

@@garymilstead4199 It's defnitely a challenge if you have A-Fib! I guess back in the day, people who had heart problems and stayed in the shade on a blistering,muggy day were unfairly deemed LAZY and noAccount!

You don't know how tempted I am Nate...

This is good to know. Seems that India hard to come by. Of course it doesn't stop people from "salvaging" half the abandoned boats I come across are stripped bare.

Yeah can't blame anyone if its half sunk and obviously abandoned. I've always noticed how the mast's eventually disappear too of the sail boats in the ICW. heard they are the most valuable part on them?

Hi Dave. Can you email me? bnetz95959@yahoo.com

Really? Like an alligator would come up and grab her off the kayak?

@@backwatersandbackroads No, she would fall in and they would be there before you could get her out. If you don't believe me, just stand around where there are gators and whine like a dog and splash the water then see what happens. Seen it many many times. Owners leaving dogs tied to bumpers thinking they will be safe and comeback to find only collars and the leash. Just thinking about your dog. Google it. Oh and never let her go into the river.

@@pattisandow6224 I believe what you're saying. I'll look into it more. Thanks.

@@backwatersandbackroads Alligators Although most Floridians have learned to live with alligators, the potential for conflict exists. It is rare that an alligator attacks a human but a few precautions should be observed. Don’t feed or harass alligators. Not only is this act illegal, but over a period of time, the alligator will lose its fear of humans and become dependant on us as their food source. Never approach an alligator closely. They are quite agile on land. Don’t swim outside of posted swimming areas, especially in the areas that large gators live. Be sure to check the area for large gators prior to swimming. Don’t swim after dusk/dark. This is the time most alligators actively feed. Avoid thick vegetation areas as this is the area a gator is most likely to call home! Don’t dump fish scraps into the water or on the shoreline. This will attract gators. Don’t allow your dog to swim in areas that are known to harbor large gators. Be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. If you encounter a nuisance alligator please contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at (352) 732-1225
