    My best friends names were Jack and Fran.
    They have both passed away since hurricane Katrina.
    Finding Y'all has helped me. I have been very alone and missed my friends greatly but finding y'all has filled a void thank you. Plus it's giving me insight knowing I have to go find some adventures in life . I'm a bit old for what y'all are doing but I can still get out and explore. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • @Qingeaton
    @Qingeaton Před měsícem +12

    As a person sits and watches this, it's so natural that you can forget about all the different things you guys have down pat, from the boating, to fishing, the drone work, knowing all the different species, including what will or won't eat you. Impressive couple.

    • @bjuretic
      @bjuretic Před měsícem

      Yeah, for example I do a bit of spearfishing, and I can tell that Fran is a great spearfisher, and her freediving is also great. :) Strick is good as well, but I am partial to Fran. :)

    You 2 make the best videos out there in CZcams world. Been watching since long before Frans first appearance I guess 2 or 3 years ago. How you 2 can spend such long periods in such close quarters without trying to kill each other is a testament to your relationship. It's got to be tough at times. But we your fans love you guys and look forward to each video. Here is hoping you are making lots of money in order to continue your adventures and maybe get a boat large enough for you to travel the world together finding new incredible spots like todays video. Thank you!

If I had a wish, it would be to live as you both do when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, we live in Colorado, USA, then return when it's winter in the southern hemisphere. Hike and backpack all the months until winter returns. Then repeat. We are living 50% of that dream. All the best to you both.
