    Best thing for seasickness is to take the helm. This way you can anticipate the movement of the boat and it takes your mind off the seasickness.

      It also means you look out to the horizon rather than focusing on boat so your eyes quit focusing on the boats local horizon and warring with the information from your inner ear.

    Very cool trip for me to ride along. Did the same thing when I was about your age, exactly 40 years ago. We were on a large research vessel and the park allowed us to just tie up alongside the pier when we got in. I couldn't wait to be in the water, so I dove off the top of the wheelhouse, sure there was plenty of depth available in that clear water. I just kept going down till it was getting dark, then reversed and did a crash surface! The park Rangers had gathered on the dock and were laughing when I surfaced. They knew I had seen a Barracuda down there, bigger than me and I'm well over 6 feet! She was their pet. The weather turned badly and our vessel had to go ride it out, so the park allowed us to set up camp in those larger, upper, gun ports. We just stacked coolers filled with water to block the wind and rain from pouring into the gun ports. They let us explore and, cool fact, Ft Jefferson was built as a giant rainwater catch basin and beneath those lower gun ports is a vast system of cisterns. Lack of maintenance and years of deterioration later, those cisterns are now filled with saltwater and fish! Cool, safe, cave-dive! But, for me, it's the lower, smaller gun ports that were great to see in this video. Weathering the storm with us was an architectural historian that was studying those ports, to try to save them. He taught us about how he evaluated metal damage and stonework problems. Look! What started 40 years ago has been completed and those gun ports look no-longer ready to come apart! Thanks for the video.

    So woke up to 42 degrees here in Ohio today ugh. I decided to put on my Tula long sleeve shirt to wear to the grocery store. An older gentleman “whatever Floats Your Boat and asked what’s Tula. He then proceeded to tell me all about renting scooters in Martha’s Vineyard with his ex wife and living to tell about it...lol. It’s warming up now so time to go sailing at our lake. Enjoy your trip.

    Been watching your videos for just a week or so now. Like the content and enjoy the scenery. As for cooking look into the GoSun Solar ovens, particularly the Fusion model, as it can cook via sun or electric. I have two different models and they really cook very well. Not only that but they cook (slow cook) while you are out walking the beach etc. I am not affiliated with them at all but just a happy customer. It really can help you with cooking in your environment. Lasagna, potatoes, soups and bread etc.

    That seaplane (DeHavaland Otter) with a turbine Pratt & Whitney engine instead of the piston 7:15
    Radial engine, last time I checked belonged to Pro-Mec Air out of Alaska. They kept that one in Key West to fly daily out there. Back awhile ago they asked my husband IF he would be interested in that run but he told them, not really.

    Billy seems to have a natural affinity for wind and speed and I was wondering when he was going to get foils for the catamaran. It is wonderful to have a beautiful woman and a dog to come get you. Sierra does some nice shots of the intrepid sea dog and is doing magic on the burner. Totally beautiful days.

    @SteifWood 3 года назад

    Yrs and yrs ago I went to Mykonos Island in Greece with some friends. One was an avid windsurfer and decided to head out in seemingly calm conditions (ie perfect force Beaufort 5 = 17-21 knots). However, he had never heard about the *maïstráli,* the mistral winds that blows north to south(ish), that can blow up to extreme strong strength instantly and hit you like a barn door.
    Since the rest of us were more occupied with our daily consumption of cold Volkan beer in the sheltered taverna than keeping track of our off-the-shelf athlete, we forgot about him until it was time to get ready to conquer the local "blondes" in town. Ohhh, where is Tarzan? After several hours and an emerging darkness we saw him limping at us up the beach, still wet, but also shivering and with red, bloody hands. The wind had picked up to force strength and he hadn't been able to tack back. If that local fisherman hadn't seen him his next landfall would have been Naxos, if not, he might have ended up as a dead trunk on the shores of Egypt.
    Lesson learned: have a back-up plan, in his case: never stray too far away from the cold ones ....

    You should have been to those keys in the late 40's to late 50's. At times you could not see the bottom in the lagoon at Dry Tortuga for the mackerel schools (couldn't fish them because the park). You could load you boat with snapper and grouper in the Marquesas in one day.
