Sailing and Snorkeling Key West Reef with Lungs of Tar Ep.3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2023
- I go sailing to nine foot stake reef in Florida Key West to go snorkeling , diving , and spearfish but after years of smoking I fail and it just turns into snorkeling lol
As an anxiety prone “Type A” Gen X military veteran I completely understand the impatience. As a matter of fact my mantra has always been “If I wanted Patients I would’ve went to med school” That being said I do believe we naturally seek a counter balance to our native personality and sailing will provide the balance if you learn to let go and be present in the moments. I start each day by making my bunk, brewing coffee, listening to a Ryan Holiday “Daily Stoic” podcast then on to projects. Find what works for you and go with it 🤙🏼.
Im glad youre vocal about how odd it is talking to the camera and getting footage. We worry thats going to be the hardest part for us also. Keep it up!
Yea I keep forgetting to grab the camera for all the action to lol
About the diving. One does have to be in good shape aerobically speaking. You look in pretty good shape though. Not too much body fat to get off the surface (fat floats real well). Taking a deep breath so you can stay down longer is important, of course, but those full to max lungs also float real well. The important thing you want to get good at is getting off the surface quickly. Down deeper your lungs will get squeezed and make it easier to be at or around the bottom. I dont know if you're having trouble getting off the surface because of the pressure squeezing your eardrums but if so ,start clearing just as soon as you start heading down. If you're feeling pressure, you started clearing too late. So in others words, start clearing even at 1" under water and you'll find it much easier. Get off the surface FAST, practice breath holding, hyperventilate before departing the surface too. Relax, take long kicking strokes, conserve energy, NO kind of panic can be allowed too. Increased heart rate requires increased amounts of o2. Lol I don't know if im telling you anything new but i knda grew up in the water. Bahamas and Florida, dad had us alll swimming pretty much at birth being surrounded by saltwater. You can even strap on a weight belt to help get you off the surface faster. Just be careful, start out light, and understand how to ditch it quick when or if it needs to be ditched. Learn how to conserve energy. Bend at the waist and get your legs completely out of the water for a quicker descent. I haven't seen your fins but for scuba diving, shorter fins are best. For free diving, longer fins are better. Be careful diving on scuba and spearfishing. There are places that's not allowed but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Surely you know what a boat sounds like underwater by now. If you're on scuba spearfishing where it's not allowed you might have to drop the gun lol if it turns out to be the law. Take off your weight belt, wrap it around and hopefull,y it won't drift off too far ... lol on the way to the bottom. Practicing breath-holdingg works. Hope you got some ideas...hope ive helped some...last i heard, spearfishing in the Bahamas with an arbalete is against the rules and can get one in big trouble. Whereas a Hawaiian Sling is ok. Hawaiian Sling is tougher to use because it puts your body closer to the target (fish) making him/it skittish. I've only ever used an arbalete myself and I've had to drop the gun a couple times. Luckily I didn't lose it. Tis easy to lose things dropped for sure. It's amazing how things can dissappear when diving. Barracuda are pretty much harmless as long as you don't so something dumb like carrying speared fish too close on the way back to the boat. Sharks can be read, pretty much. Always a pretty good idea to have a dive knife strapped on too. A quick poke in the nose of a shark is a pretty good deterrent or gills if necessary. ...Aaaanyway I too hope you fair winds out there. 👍
Wow that was quite a read :) hahah thanks for the tips man I’m still learning so I try to absorb everything I can, and thanks for actually trying to help
Excited to see more fishing and diving next time! Be safe, please! 😳🤞🤞
Yea I was thinking the same thing when I posted this :/ I’ll step it up here soon for ya lol
You can stop smoking I did after 35years of 2pad,, then I learnt Wim Hoff breathing (cuz I was concerned about ending in the Gulf on a flyover bridge In Houston) I can now hold my breath 3+ minutes-- it took a week to learn.-- love your channel!
Yeaa I did quit but my lungs still suck lol
Skip the scuba gear till you need it for depth - skin dive every day, or two, and build up your breath. Takes time. Stick with it. I grew up in the water but after four decades of sitting in front of a computer i will have to start all over too.
Yea my lungs are just trashed lol, and ever since I started working out I just sink like a stone haha
It’s lonely out there. But it’s lonelier on the couch. Once you get into it and doing your thing and a few $$ roll in (which hopefully it will) you’ll be living the dream.
I’m looking to head off next April up the east coast of Aussie and into Indonesia.
$$ are my biggest challenge too. And setting up all the SM.
Good to see another person with zero experience just up and going.
Thanks, best thing I ever did :) yea I’m gonna just keep living and making these videos till I run out of money then I’ll have to get a job for a few months then I’ll be right back at it, but I’ll probly have to stop making these videos during that, these things take a lot of time to make believe it or now lol
Lemme know what u guys thought,good or bad I love the feedback :) come support me at Patreon.com/OffgridOceanLife
Love you have gone all in!
Keen to understand how much off grid living is costing. Stay safe and enjoy
Good point man I’ve already got a couple more videos done and ready but next one I make will be about all that stuff, thanks for the feedback :)
Get a bruce anchor and a 100 ft of chain and you won't drag as easily.Youll sleep alot more in a strong wind.You look in a lot better shape than me so you won't have a problem pulling it.
Yea I’ve got a Bruce with 30 ft of chain I was thinking of getting a rocna though
Im a commercial fisherman that fishes the outer Islands of the the Channel Islands San Nicholas Island specifically I've sat through a 70 not blow 🌬️ on a Bruce and 100 ft of chain. I know it's a lot of chain to pull but you sleep well at night and you look like you're in good shape I did it by hand many of times.The longer the chain the better.Also the longer the scope the harder it is to pop the hook.Maybe it's overkill for Florida but here on the West Coast it's pretty much mandatory. Also you can always get like a 50-ft chain and a cheap anchor and throw a Norwegian ball or even a lobster pot bouy on it and use that for a mooring in fair weather.If the weather comes up and starts blowing 20 kts or more throw that 100 ft of chain out baby and you'll sleep way better. I don't know if you do this but don't set your hook in the reef if possible always set your hook in the sand.
Suggestion:
ALWAYS take time to stow anchor properly for immediate use when ahit hits the fan and the fan is always running; also, always stow your winch handle and DO NOT leave it in the mast winch… it’ll be overboard soon enough if you do… I learned the hard way.
Always set a tag line behind boat when swimming in case current sweeps you away…
Could always use some tips :) thanks
Thanks. Binged watched 3 in row. New sub. S/V Kota.
Thank you, they’re gonna get even better here soon :) lol
No need to apologise, you do what you do! You will get better at everything so don’t sweat it!
I quit smoking a pipe about 25 years ago. You can do this!
Looks fun. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment :) the videos start getting pretty good after this I feel like lol
coming at you from the midwest!
Awesome, u gotta boat? Lol
nothing crazy. 22' center counsel that i barely use, and a couple flat bottoms@@OffgridOceanLife
Nice :) maybe I’ll see u around
If you can’t lift your anchor and it’s all tangled either cut line or drop line with a float on it go back later with help
Keep it up nick!
Thanks man will get together and celebrate if these videos ever take off haha
Didn't really expect to see you listening to George Thorogood
Haha love that stuff
How does that 43 with chain drag after you set it? Or did you drop it in the water and panic when it was sliding idk I had 2 anchors 2 lbs per ft is usually fair for ground tackle how big is your boat again? 28?
A lot of spots in the keys werent great for anchoring, lots of thick weeds and silt
hopefully your are not still smoking. if you are think about quiting practice until you can hold your breath for 1 min you will last half of that with the presure of the water. loving your vidios btw.
Thanks :) Naa I quit about a year ago but lungs never fully recovered :/ yea the pressure thing I what killed me because I can hold my breathe over a minute above water but under it’s like 15 seconds lol
Great vid 😊 new subscribers over from TikTok 🤙
Wow thanks I wasn’t sure I’d get anyone over from there haha :) hope you like it the videos are about to start getting good lol
@@OffgridOceanLifevery cool 😊 yeah I'm hoping to edit a good vid soon ❤
How much does it cost to anchor and how long will they let you stay in one place?
I was wondering the same thing. Like why were the jet-skiers getting pissy? Is it like camping, like you gotta rent space?
Any room in that boat for me lol
Lmao :)
see other sailor's videos and learn from them how record video what people want to see
I think you are brave, but also a bit foolhardy to try to learn everything on your own. Spend some time with more experienced sailors to teach you. Take a course. It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t learn by doing. It means that you can avoid to make some very expensive errors, and it may also spare your life. Glad you quit smoking. Keep on freediving. It will get better with training.
Not my style haha but thanx for the advice
Alot of people have windless to lift their chain. May need to invest.
Yea there’s a lot of stuff I want to get lol unfortunately I’m running out of money fast haha I was hoping these videos and my patreon would take off before I ran out but it’s not looking to promising lol
I know what you mean, well I am sure you could find some boat work to be done out there. My buddy is in Pensacola, told me he is always looking for good help on various projects, maybe I should hook you 2 up?

Start vaping instead of tobacco I m going on a month no pot no tobacco 🎉🎉🎉
Yea I quit a while ago and im on the ecigs now to lol
Be safe, oh yeah i know whats thats like after years of smoking, the lungs are never quite the same but you can still achieve great things and see alot, watching with anticipation, yeah you need some sunnies and some hats and some zinc for your skin, yummm hope you catch lots of dinner
Dang your positive :) haha thanks yea my lungs were real bad where they would pool up with liquid if I laid down for awhile that’s why I quit, they definately got better but still kinda suck lol
