  • When you live on a boat and a hurricane is coming, especially a monster Cat 5 like Irma, you run for zee hills.
    Fortunately, the storm turned at the zero hour and left much less destruction than it could have. Still, this one had everyone in Florida fearing the worst.
    For those interested in keeping up with my kayak rental business that I'm attempting to start, your best bet for up to date info is my public facebook page. No friend requests necessary Just give it a like;

    For now, the storm has postponed my zoning meeting with the county so I still don't have an office trailer on the premises. Which means I still can't get internet! GRRR! So, forgive me if my replies to your comments and messages are slow.
    Thanks for Watching,
    Marty

    Every time I heard "Tampa" on the news those two crucial days of the hurricane, I thought about all your work and anticipations of your "venture" on that property and prayed for protection from the oncoming wrath of nature ! Thanks for this update !!

    Rita, Katrina, Ike, Harvey and a bunch of others. Fellow hurricane vet here. Knew what you meant. Such a helpless feeling driving away before the storm. Bet it's old hat for you now but that helpless feeling never goes away. Great video Marty.

    You have such a beautiful place, and the setting on the water just puts it over the top. I know some of these are old videos but my wife and I enjoy them very much. Thank you for that! We're on a mountain top in Tennessee but if we ever get down your way we look forward to sitting an hope you'll share some of those views! God Bless you Sir... you seem to have a kind soul.

    Every day me and my co-worker followed all this IRMA-thing all time. Our winds (Orcan-Wind ~120 km/h) here at the coast of the Baltic Sea, are half powerful than your Hurricane-Winds there in Florida. BIG THANKS to you and your videos and life-messages and best wishes from Germany to You all in Florida!

    Glad you're safe and the boat too. Here in Coral Gables we suffered the dirty side of Irma lots of wind damage to trees. Lost a few trees here on the property and the mango tree is leaning badly. But no one hurt and the house did not get any damage and cleanup is on going. No power for 9 days but it's back now and I can say I survived and so can you. Hope we dodge Maria.

  • @BradGryphonn
    @BradGryphonn Před 6 lety

    1:00 I felt that look. I've been through cyclones in Far North Queensland and understand the apprehension, but also know that a hurricane or cyclone is all part of the love we have for the places we call home. We know that with beauty comes some opposite to tell us we're guests on this planet and should appreciate that beauty. Sorry for the hippy rant.

  • @cayminlast
    @cayminlast Před 6 lety

    Glad to see you guys are okay. It might be fair to say 'Some' parts of Florida dodged the bullet, but not all, down here in Collier County we got some places that are destroyed, but like all the storms we've been through, a house can be decimated and the one next door has only superficial/cosmetic damage. On the other side of our road all the huge trees in the woods that face the street, were stripped of everything, leaves, bark and most of the small branches for a distance of about two miles.
