Well thanks for watching! Yes that was a fun trip.... would like to do it again sometime... always good to set goals and knock them off. Owning a Jet Ski in Florida allows a huge variety of rides and entertainment ... I wish you and your husky the best! :-) Bob

Oh no! Another poor soul has been trapped by the channel! What was it that finally got you to bite and subscribe? :-) Was it my garbage can "Short"..? I think that will become a classic! Thanks for watching and thanks for entering the realm of dedicated subscriber! Bob

I am glad you find the videos enjoyable or helpful and getting a jet ski can launch you into a fun lifestyle. At least you have time to figure out the storage and vehicle before you get one... I wish you the best success moving toward your goal! Let me know when you get one!

I am glad you enjoy that ride... Look forward to seeing you on the water! You certainly have an interesting channel! Thank you for watching! Bob

Great, tell all your jet ski friends! :-) I appreciate the feedback!

Yes we have had dinner there before when visiting the Liard’s… good choices!

First congratulations Warren on your ski, have fun and be safe. The Alafia River is very nice and about a mile from its mouth I noted a pretty island in the middle (I think there is a bridge nearby). You may wish to stop there and relax...I think I noted a sand beach!

Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it … yes I am sure they are aware of the recalls….

Well repeating this trip just like I did after seeing Bassil's trip would be a great start... go during the week!

Thanks for watching... gee I hope Tampa is not that bad! ha!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I always put the ramp location in the video written description for all my rides. Browse the channel , select a ride and repeat it! :-) Thanks for watching! I have another video coming out on the St Pete area in less than two weeks!

Do you live in Tampa...? I wished I lived closer to that area-- lot of sights and beautiful water!

Thank you for the positive feedback... share with you jet ski friends! :-) Walking in that spring river posed very little danger... I doubt there would have been an alligator in the shallow water and we probbaly ould have seen him or a snake coming in the clear water.... now where I am going this week...I do NOT want to fall in at ALL...more to come!

Eon

Thanks Jay... it was a good time exploring new to me areas and meeting some new friends (Randy and Becky)!

Great! In nearly every video I include the map route as you mentioned and the ramp information is in the video description so anyone can repeat the trip!

Are you in Colorado Springs? I lived there twice and I have not ruled out Colorado return in retirement. But to answer you question.... I have lived in Florida only 5 years in retirement and my sense of alligators has certainly matured in those five years. I EXPECT alligators to be in every lake, river, canal, spring I ride in and see them most all the time. A team mates saw a big one on Tuesday in a river along the GA border where we were riding. Do I swim or jump in in areas there are gators? Yes sometimes but certainly not some places like my latest video on the Kissimmee river where the per capita gator population is higher than in Tampa... you grow to respect them first, give them a wide berth, try not to bother them, and know they are as afraid of you then you are of them. So in the first year on the water in Florida I thought about them a lot, now I know they eare there and think very little of them in the way of being concerned. In my video that will be released on March 19th I am diving a local spring and there is one other lady (a local who swims daily there ) (early am) an she mentions a alligator lives there and it surprised her the day before. You will see me go back under water just to make sure he is not home that day... :-) Thanks for watching... if you have not sen the latest video it is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i66npsh4spewiJs.html Bob

@@BobBroeking Hey- That's great. I am in the 'Springs. I loathe winter....can't ride (motorcycle/mtn bike) but, I hold a clearance and good career opportunities here, so...I stay for now. If I could...I'd snowbird to warmer climates during the winter and come home for summer. I have friends in both clearwater and hollywood beach areas, so I will need to go visit. Keep the good vids for those of us that have to still wear layers 1/2 the year!

@@Burner-Adventure-Chronicles Sounds good, I was at Peterson AFB twice myself and was on the Teller County Search and Rescue team... was a mtn climbing fool... enjoyed my time there; would love to hike the incline now that it has been revitalized! thanks for watching!

Yes 842 pounds dry weight.... you can see us moving on here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcB7l7p7mNfGZH0.html

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Please see the video written description where I always list all major equipment. Also, have you seen these two videos:? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcmUh9eKx6jTaIU.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNGDYK9_16mmfWw.html Let me know if this helps and hank you for watching. Bob

Thank you for the feedback that you love my videos. The saturation is done in post processing and in this case was difficult as the morning was terribly deary and cloudy and had I not upped the color a little it would have been depressing to watch... hahahha.... then when the sun came out the colors were perhaps a bit too vibrant, but it is always a fine balance. I am just an amateur.... :-)

Thanks for coming by and I am happy you stayed. I cannot comment in the Seadoo but the VX cruiser would be great for what you describe … with the 1.8L engine. It is stable powerful, faster than my FX and a super machine price wise. I did a first impression video a year ago or so that is here: 2021 Yamaha VX Cruiser HO WaveRunner -- First Impression and Comparo with my FX #jetski #whitespider kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gb-Eq897rL7GpKs.html. There are also a VX playlist of all VX videos on my channel… let me know if these help. Bob

Thanks .We are leaning toward VX cruiser.Looks nice and comfy to cruise around on.Being in our mid-fifties we are way past the supercharged speed stuff.

@@tndeere Zero need for super charged in my opinion. When I am going 59 mph I cannot imagine going 75mph... VX is a great machine for two!

No , the caretaker there does a great job of making sure the island stays clean!

He bought his own house on the water and then I understand Derek Jeter sold this house recently for $22M.

@@BobBroeking damn. I love your videos. When I retire I want to do what you do.

Exactly and you can ski on WEEKDAYS when there is very little boating traffic! :-) Share the channel with other jet skiing friends!
