  • Bridges bridges bridges! We make our way south on the Atlantic Nora coastal waterway ICW on our 341 Meridian from downtown West Palm Beach to Lake Boca in Boca Raton Florida.
    We have to go under a bunch of bridges as we navigate our Florida mini loop adventure. On this leg, we tackle a half dozen or so. One being so close we were afraid of hitting it so Brigitt pops her head up top to check our clearance.
    We make it to lake Boca where we plan to spend a day or so, anchor and do some paddle boarding. Brigitt shows off her new floatation devices.
    Join the crew as we take the Florida Mini Loop from Cape Coral, though Lake Okeechobee, down the east coast to the Florida Keys and back home along the Gulf of Mexico.

    Such a nice and easy trip. Bridges and Navionics don't match up, even on our lake it is off. Great time thanks again!

    Loved the video. My Brother lived in Boca right around the corner from Lake Boca.
    Ww spent alot of time boating on the ICW and the different rivers/back water.
    He passed recently and I haven't been over since. (I live in Sarasota).
    Seeing those familiar waterways and homes brought tears to my eyes.
    Thank you for helping with wonderful memories of him and our time spent together boating in Boca. ❤

    Had a house on Boca for 12 years or so, loved it, often visit the Lake Boca Sandbar, opposite the pink building, the swish Boca Raton Beach Club, you can see.
    So glad you're enjoying it.
    Fair winds and following seas, Captain 👍

    I'm enjoying this new loop. you guys should go up through Mobile, Alabama and then up the Tombigbee waterway and take the Tennessee river all the way to Knoxville. Really cool trip that I've done and a lot of cool locks to go through. And Awesome mountainous views once you get in Tennessee.

    I’m am enjoying your videos very much. I have gone back and viewed them from the beginning until now. I certainly miss those days when we used to be on the water all the time. Unfortunately age catches up with you after a while. I would like to know if your willing to share what you did before you retire to Cape Coral. We saw on an episode that Admiral Brigitt was with Verizon. I am a retired asst. Fire Chief. Keep up the great videos and enjoy your retirement.

    Enjoying your latest adventure BUT you really should have used the time on the day dock in West Palm to Uber to main Palm Beach on “the island”. The shopping on Worth Avenue and the number of wonderful restaurants provide an experience that oozes eye opening class -much different from West Palm.

    I would have had a ton of solar on that rig. Even a pair of 250W panels would probably keep a decent power bank (Delta 2 pro) topped off.

    Traveling from Boynton bch. to Miami one of the bridges had the bridge tender napping and would not open, called the police and after 15 min.they woke him up and the bridge finally opened.

    Just stumbled upon your channel. My wife and I were wondering, since you have some directional signs at your home with one of them saying Buffalo, is that where you are from? We are currently at Port of the islands Marina here in Naples, on our boat. Enjoy the videos. By the way, yes I am from Buffalo originally.

    • @AdventuresofHappyOurs
      @AdventuresofHappyOurs  3 месяца назад

      We have each visitor at our house paint a sign. We are from NY so many friends and family from there too. Friends of ours met in Buffalo so painted that sign.
