That bit of advice about removing the latent heat from the coolers before adding ice for the trip is just another example of why I am subscribed to your channel Aaron…your attention to detail is impeccable! I can’t wait for the videos of this adventure that will follow…
If allowed to make the analogy, when I was younger I had the opportunity to come across some books written by Mr. Jim Corbett. It was about his experiences as a hunter of man-eating big cats in India and for some strange reason Aaron story narrating reminds me a lot of those books, maybe same personality? Who knows.
@keywestwaterman your fuel theory is 100% correct. In aviation, we have vents on our gas tanks in the wings and we typically fill the tanks all the way up the night before. So the gas will cool down and then when the sun comes up the following day on summer days, it is not uncommon to walk outside and just watch gas pouring out of your wing onto the ground.
I too am a pilot and we plan for this. But if you fill you tanks with cool fuel in the morning and your tanks warm up, like you mentioned, they will vent the excess fuel overboard, you can never get that fuel back and you paid for that wasted fuel, and it’s not good for the water. If your tanks below the waterline on your white boat do not heat up enough that it causes your boat to vent… keep doing what you are doing!
Cooling coolers is very real. I learned that from a old timer and have stuck w/ it since. And of course, chill everything that's going into them, and your good. Tight lines from Cedar Key, Florida.
I've been to Key West ( Waterman ) l o l , 3 times in my life ! I always wanted to go to the Dry Tortuga's, but never made it there ! That last Hurricane destroyed my sister's condo off of Fort Meyer's ! I caught many a Jack Crevalle's, but never a yellow one ? I would have liked to tasted one before I returned to Illinois ! I like the Gulf waters more than the Atlantic side ! Incredible colors in the waters ! I would have liked to see a CLEAN & COOK on that A.P. ! As a marine Technician, you were correct on the fuel heating up creating a possible Vapor Lock situation ! I was surprised that you used black totes down in Florida where temps exceed 90 degree's !
Great video Aaron! I’m not a petroleum engineer, but as an accountant, I’ve done audits on gas stations and when we counted the gas, we always measured quantity and temperature. That temperature was used to convert the litres to 15 C (roughly 60 F), which is the norm in the gas industry. Supposedly, the gas pump would convert the gas going through it to 15 C when we pump it. In essence, we should always get the same amount per litre/gallon at any point of the day. Obviously, gas pumps go through regular testing here in Canada on predetermined dates, so I’m sure no big oil people would ever tamper with that. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing!!!
We build fuel tanks for the marine and automotive industry. We have to design the tanks to where the fuel nozzles shut off at 95% to allow for fuel expansion. Our plant is in Florida and you are correct on fuel. You definitely get more when the temperature is cooler.
Very good Aaron on the coolers , they do exactly what you said. On the fuel note I did read a few years ago that it is smarter to fuel up in the mornings being that it's cooler. But another note should be that when people in general put the nozzle in the gas tank they usually press the handle for the fuel to come out quicker. That is what burns the fuel down. If you press it si the fuel comes out at a slower pace it also lets you get more fuel for your buck. It's like the harder you step on the gas, the faster that gas gets consumed. Great video brother. I'm gonna check out today's after I'm done with this bad boy.
Man I love watching you slip out of the Harbor, many many memories from so many years ago. Glad to see there is still SOME shrimp boats there. Keep it up! Love your videos.
I just found out my Dad hired you a few years ago for mini season. He was a captain of 72 Viking Princess with a Stamas CC as the tender. You took the kids on a charter and they LOVED it.
So there are actually some good reports supporting your theory on fueling times. Also, never run the pump handle wide open. They say that in the heat of the the faster you run the pump, the more it releases the vapor trapped in the tanks. So you are definitely on the right track.
Thanks man, great info in this video. When I went to Tortugas I slept on one of the picnic tables so I am with you on sleeping outside. No bugs just rats and crabs. And it was a new moon, incredible star gazing.
Awesome video !! I've always wanted to camp out on Tortuga ! Not so much if there's a lot of light . Touching on fueling up . I've always done the same after working with a fuel company . Especially if the holding tanks are metal . Once they heat up there will be a tremendous amount of condensation. Now mutiple that condensation per day . Water sinks to the bottom hence the reason your pump being at one end of the tank and slightly unlevel . The suction tube for the pump should be anywhere from 1.5 to 4/5 inches off the bottom depending on size of tank . After working for a fuel company I won't fuel up anything after a bulk fuel drop delivery due to sludge being stirred up . Yes there's mutiple micron filters to help but so does waiting . Early morning top offs would be best imo due to water condensation buildup throughout the heat of the day . I've pulled shop vacs full of sludge because of this . Talk to your distributor if you're picky about how often they clean their tanks. It's definitely needed preventive maintenance ! Thanks for the video Dibs !!! Can't wait to see the rest of the trip .
nice, looking forward to this series!! i love how you can hold your breath so so long. I was in my pool today, 8 feet deep, my ears were killing me and i was only able to hold my breath for about 10 seconds at the bottom LOL, i was checking out a rust stain on the liner.
Sorry for missing the video yesterday when you posted it.😢 Coming to view you videos is so relaxing and really gives the sense of running into a dear friend. Thank you for all of your content!!
Really awesome can't wait to see the rest of the trip.. be nice to get a shot at the stars at night for the people who have never seen the sky without the light pollution I know 50 60 miles offshore at night time it is totally mind-boggling reminds me of what you could see from land in Florida when I was a kid
The coolness of your cooled coolers is too cool for school. Also, about the gas expansion with heat, seems logical, as is most of your thinking. I’m a fan from The Panhandle. Thanks for sharing
With the fuel it doesn't matter what time of day you get fuel. All fuel pumps have to be calibrated according to what type of fuel pump your using. Calibration for 5 gallons for the average pump 100 gallons for your high flow pumps.
I loved the Dry Tortugas when I was there a little over 30 years ago. My highschool in Sarasota took us to Ft Myers and we took a boat out there for 4 nights I think. We fished one day and fished and dove from the boat another day. It really was awesome. I caught the biggest fish AND the most of out 25 kids but only wanted the prize for my big mutton snapper. Nobody was surprised, I fished a lot back then. And I just moved to VA Beach so I can do it again. The NC foothills sucked for a Florida man.
What a beautiful show I watch you all the time. I love your show my health is not good or I would be there now I’m hoping to get there soon anyway God bless you for what you do. Keep on doing it for us.
Beautiful weather! Looks like a blast! Last time I was there on the ferry over, I saw some decent looking fish in the blue water area but I couldn't tell what they were. Gonna try trolling when I take my boat over next time.
Aloha, and here I thought this was going to be The Great Ghenoo Getaway! I used to do the ice trick on Lanai. Not as big as yours. 1 for food,1 for drinks, and a smaller one taped up for backup. Used to use a cot. Crabs, mice, scorpions, and centipedes. Looking forward to the next installment as always.
As an engineer I can say yes you'll get more fuel into a given space of it's cooler. Racing teams use this concept to pack more fuel before the start of a race {see motogp}. However you'd need to know if the pumps compensate for such a thing, meaning how they measure the volume of fluid getting delivered. So, you'll get more fuel into your fuel tank when it's cooler but I imagine you still pay the same total cost per gallon. Because, loss prevention...
The way most pumps compensate for this is double walled underground tanks that barely change in temperature so it doesn't matter, in cases where you may be pumping thousands of gallons like in airplanes or really big boats it does, and the measurements are made by weight and not volume so there is no compensation to do exactly to avoid this, at your normal leisure boat pump the machine measures by volume, so if the gas is heavier you get more, but even then the pump doesn't loose because it compensates with the people who won't or can't fill up in the am(time is limited)...
Awesome trip! My family and I made that run last July. It was awesome! We try and hit as many national parks as we can. Finally checked that one off the list. It took several trips to the keys to finally get the weather window. Didn't want to do the cattle ferry.
Good idea with pre-cooling the coolers, it makes a difference, as does cooling all your drinks in the fridge before putting them in the coolers. Ever tried dry ice to keep your supplemental ice frozen, or to freeze your food and help keep it longer? We use it on our camping trips to extend and preserve food and ice longer, but there’s a process to it for sure.
def helps too! and we haven't gone that far or needed it. this trip we came back with just enough ice. and thats about as long as I think I'd ever camp out there. I bet dry ice helps a ton
I realize trees might be a little scarce but hammocks are a great choice. They make “camping hammocks” for 1 or 2 people that are awesome and they have mosquito nets for them. You can also get stands for them when trees are not around. Just wanted to share. Stay safe and God Bless
So what I found on the fuel expansion is: 20°C(ca. 40°F) leads to a 2% expansion of gas. So you are right although the difference is very small. And Idk if gas stations do account and correct for that.
That looks like a ton of fun. I’m glad someone else knows about pre-chilling the coolers. I told my dad about that last weekend and he looked at me like I was crazy haha
fyi, a gallon is a gallon. summer gasoline has a lower reid vapor pressure (rvp) which means it doesn't evaporate easily at higher temperatures like you have in the keys in summer. It is however more expensive to make than winter gasoline which has a higher rvp and will evaporate more quickly when things are very warm. Its a smog thing mandated by the Clean Air Act and EPA.
I’ve always precooled my coolers and everyone called me crazy. The gasoline does contract and expand. I deliver gasoline, when I load the gasoline at the terminal it comes out of the million gallon tank and it loads at 70 degrees. If it’s 90 degrees outside and I drive one hour or more to the store the computers in the store usually show I bring 200 gallons more than it shows I loaded. The winter if it’s really cold and the fuel is loaded with a 40 degree difference it shows I unloaded 200 gallons less. But, the above ground tanks at marinas are double walled so they are decently insulated. You might gain 5 gallons by getting 200 gallons of fuel in the morning. I like the cheap 2 gallon pump bug sprayers for fresh water cleaning. You can pack less fresh water and clean more with the sprayer.
I believe You're right about the gas! Can You still get blocks of ice there? We used to get them in key largo at Rowels marina back in the early 90's and it lasts a long time. Sad that place is gone now.
Awesome video! My fiance and I have been there via the seaplane before but taking our own boat and fishing/camping on the island is definitely a bucket list trip for us!
Great video! My brother in law told me to look up your channel and I had to subscribe on the first one I watched. I live on the east coast in Brevard county and spend a lot of time taking my boat out in the Sebastian Inlet and Indian River Lagoon. I would love to trailer it down to the Keys one of these days but I have no idea how to navigate the area, whats legal and not etc. I'll have to watch more of your content and do some more research. The keys and surrounding areas are on my list for some exploring one day. Thanks for putting it out there for us.
Lots of rats down there. In the mornings they would run off with anything that they could. Whisks, spoons, coffee cups, spice shakers, etc. Thought I was losing my mind at first.
That bit of advice about removing the latent heat from the coolers before adding ice for the trip is just another example of why I am subscribed to your channel Aaron…your attention to detail is impeccable! I can’t wait for the videos of this adventure that will follow…
love to hear it! 🙏
We used to line the bottom of the coolers with dry ice wrapped in newspapers for long Bahamas trips.
If allowed to make the analogy, when I was younger I had the opportunity to come across some books written by Mr. Jim Corbett. It was about his experiences as a hunter of man-eating big cats in India and for some strange reason Aaron story narrating reminds me a lot of those books, maybe same personality? Who knows.
The dude on Yankee Capt was watching thinking WTF? That looks like a lot of work!😂
After a long, stressful day I look forward to watching Key West Waterman. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

The station owners sometimes measure the truck tankers temperature so it does make a difference

Haha for sure
Great vid .. lived Fl keys 19 yr and once spent 10 days anchored out there . 👍🏼
I’ve always precooled my coolers and everyone called me crazy. The gasoline does contract and expand. I deliver gasoline, when I load the gasoline at the terminal it comes out of the million gallon tank and it loads at 70 degrees. If it’s 90 degrees outside and I drive one hour or more to the store the computers in the store usually show I bring 200 gallons more than it shows I loaded. The winter if it’s really cold and the fuel is loaded with a 40 degree difference it shows I unloaded 200 gallons less. But, the above ground tanks at marinas are double walled so they are decently insulated. You might gain 5 gallons by getting 200 gallons of fuel in the morning. I like the cheap 2 gallon pump bug sprayers for fresh water cleaning. You can pack less fresh water and clean more with the sprayer.
wild! thanks for the info!
Thanks! Awesome episode and I hope to see further footage from this trip. Enjoy your time there.

So exciting! This is what I've been waiting for. Key West Camperman!
🙏
I believe You're right about the gas! Can You still get blocks of ice there? We used to get them in key largo at Rowels marina back in the early 90's and it lasts a long time. Sad that place is gone now.
some places carry it I couldn't find it for this trip. I like the blocks for long trips.
Gasoline expands at 0.069% for every degree Fahrenheit. So 70 degrees in the morning and 95 in the peak afternoon is about 1.7% difference.
that adds up quite a bit!
Clams rocking that Wu-Tang merch! 😂❤ Fish love Wu-tang. That’s why we named my brothers boat the “Wahoo-tang”
haha love it!
Awesome video! My fiance and I have been there via the seaplane before but taking our own boat and fishing/camping on the island is definitely a bucket list trip for us!
its an awesome trip!
Nice tip with the ice.
helps a ton!
Great video! My brother in law told me to look up your channel and I had to subscribe on the first one I watched. I live on the east coast in Brevard county and spend a lot of time taking my boat out in the Sebastian Inlet and Indian River Lagoon. I would love to trailer it down to the Keys one of these days but I have no idea how to navigate the area, whats legal and not etc. I'll have to watch more of your content and do some more research. The keys and surrounding areas are on my list for some exploring one day. Thanks for putting it out there for us.
welcome to the channel and love to hear you enjoy it! 🙏
make sure you get some video of you guys getting that back into the cover!
Lol
Can't wait to see this journey. Be safe y'all great vid as always. Respect
🙏
So cool, I hope you enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to the continuation. So beautiful!
🙏
Lots of rats down there. In the mornings they would run off with anything that they could. Whisks, spoons, coffee cups, spice shakers, etc. Thought I was losing my mind at first.
haha yup!
