I have many sayings but my top 2 on Jocassee are:
“Always Be Prepared to FALL”
“ if you didn’t get injured…… you didn’t experience Jocassee”
Thanks for coming up, and out of the hundreds of tours I have provided, the three of you have been my favorite so far. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful Carolina blue sky day!!!!!
We had great weather and a great tour. It was the best couple of days I have had on my ski! Thanks again Michael! Bob
Looks like you and Bob had a good time, can't wait to get my 2025 Yamaha FX HO in the winter So this Parrothead can get back out on the water with you guys. 🤘
@@ParrotHead1980 can’t wait for you to get that ski next year. Looking forward to more fun, adventurous and educational rides.
@@captainjocassee
Me too :)
beautiful!
It really is.... thanks again! Bob
It's why we love sc. Between the Salt, several fresh water lakes, and Jocassee itself. It's hard to want to leave.
I 100% approved this message 💯🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and commenting! Bob
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB !!!! Thanks for another video and taking us with you
Thanks for coming along! I do not know how you knew my birthday was nearby but thank you! Bob
Reminds me of another man-made lake, Lake Norman (managed by Duke Energy). Nice to have a local guide to show you all the cool spots. I can only imagine how busy it is on summer weekends. Smart to explore it early in the season.
I have been to Lake Norman but not on a ski… Duke Powers overseas a lot in the Carolinas….! So glad to be there on a weekday before Memorial Day… you are slowing working your way back to the channel as it’s #1 fan…. 👍😎🎤
😎👍
Thank you for watching and the thumbs up! Bob
Wow Bop, this is one of the most beautiful trips I've seen in your vlog. Quite a journey for you and the guys, from Florida, but worth it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I had just mentioned to another viewer it was an 8 hour drive, but worth every minute...probably my favorite two days on the water. Contact Michael if yo are interested in repeating it! thanks for watching as always! Bob
Great video as always. I saved a couple spot and the tour guide info.
Maybe in the future you can go a little further north and make a similar video in Lake Norman, NC.
I have been BY lake Norman numerous times; is it a nice " kiable" destination? thanks for watching and commenting. Michael is definitely the goto guy for this destination! Bob
Falls were gorgeous nice change up beautiful lake
Yes, I bet fall is spectacular there! Michael and I, when planning this ride, wanted to wait enough into the late Spring to have all of the green foilage out! It was a rainy drive up but the two days on the lakes were beautiful! thanks for watching and commenting! Bob
Thanks!
Awe you did not have to tip me...I never ask for $, but I appreciate it; Ill buy everyone ice cream next time out! :-) Thanks
That's such a beautiful place, last time I was up there i could only explore about 3% of that lake in the 5 days we were there.
I now know had I gone up there to that Jocassee and Keowee without Michael's knowledge I would not have seen hardly anything except very deep beautiful water! Ha! thanks for watching and commenting! Bob
Nice trip! Interesting history.
Thanks for watching and commenting. On the second day we did Lake Keowee with some cliff jumping (Danny) ... I' l release that video down the road. You will be able to see the dam from the other side; quite impressive. I also will be putting out a video on a trip to Cemetery Island on Lake Hartwell that has interesting history. Bob
This is Scott... happy Birthday-ish! This was an epic trip. Thanks for sharing it. If you do another one like this, let me know. I'll rent a ski and join you.
I'll take you up on that!!! Beautiful area... would love to ski with you again.... more adventures coming on land in the next 6 weeks!
Might be my favorite video of yours. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow, thank you! Probably my favorite ski to date as well... Danny and Tracy said the same thing. Thanks for watching an commenting. Bob
Happy birthday Bob great pictures where is this lake at and is there campgrounds around there to stay at and what city is it near
Yes that area has campgrounds all around it; The lake is right by Salem, Seneca and Clemson, SC if you have not looked it up already on goggle map: maps.app.goo.gl/eUwQbaL3Vpbhs7CT7 thank you for watching and commenting!
"Gansta" homie on conceive babies; way to go 😭🤣😂😂 Beautiful Spot Thank for sharing 👍👍
Hahahaha thanks for watching and commenting !!!!! Bob
Fascinating video, I was born in Spartanburg not far from Greenville which was mentioned in the video. I see that flowing water and I think of moonshine making. I bet quite a bit happens there. Last but not least, there's a Lake in Tennessee called Watauga. You should look it up Bob, the whole town of Butler is underwater. There's even a Butler bridge that goes over where the town was
The opening scene to Deliverance was filmed tere so maybe you are right Eric! Thanks for watching!
This looks beautiful! I shared this video today with a KY PWC friend and learned he is planning a trip there this August. I'm going. Happy belated birthday Bob =0)
Please do! It would be a great place to visit from KY; It was an 8 hour drive for me from Florida but worth it.... Hope to see you soon! Bob
Looks beautiful, especially during the fall. Advantages? No Salt-Away required. Crocodile count = 0. Alligator count (approx zero, occasionally someone will release one in there “for fun”. Disadvantages? Too cold to enjoy 5 months out of the year
Thanks for watching… I could enjoy that place in a light snowfall…
I enjoy your trip videos very much. Have you described in one of your past videos how you do the after trip voice overs (or whatever the proper term may be) and also the app or pc software used to add the captions over the video. I use GoPro app but have not seen it to have that capability but I am new to GoPro. Very nice job again describing the trip and video presentation. Thanks Bob
I used a paid version of Wondershare Filmora that allows you to easily do the captions , voice overs, and all major video editing tools that you will use. Any major video editing software will allow you to do these video additions; it just takes some time and practice to get it down so its easy and second nature. I start with about 20 hours of footage from a normal 4 hour ride and work to get it down to around 11-15 mins... part of the creative process for me; usually fun, but not all the time! :-) Bob
Thank you Bob. I will research Wondershare. As I said, really enjoy the time and detail that are in your videos because it makes it easy to understand where to go and also know how to duplicate the trips for those viewers interested in doing so. Your video of the 1 yr review with your riding friends of the hull epoxy type Gator Glide coating is one reason I coated my 2022 Sea-doo GTX Limited plastic (acrylic/ABS blend) hull with a similar Wetlander coating. I'm 68 yrs old so in addition to preventing the little nicks I typically saw after each ride, it really helped getting the ski off and back onto the trailer. Thanks again sir....I will be watching your future adventures
@@ericbrown3283 yes you are mature like me! hahahahahha Yes, any major video editing softwarre will do what you need; my advice is to the pick the easiest one and stick with it until you learn it. Hope your hul coating works well; it has held up well for us. What part of the country are you in? Bob
We are in the Houston Texas area. So far the hull coating has been nice. Was a little concerned that could not find any examples of the Sea-doo acrylic/ABS (what Sea-doo calls it) being protected....just fiberglass and aluminum hulls. One of our Facebook Extreme Jet Ski members had done quite a few Yamaha skis at his home. He researched with BRP and Wetlander and he got it done for me. So far it has been nice ..just like y'all's documentation with Gator Glide epoxy type protection
@@ericbrown3283 Houston! you guys seem to have one natural disaster after another! I asked a retired USAF friend who lives in the Woodlands if Houston is that dangerous of a place to live but he assures me it is safe most of the time! HA. Glad you got the coating and I hope it works out. Bob
Love this video. How much does a guide charge for that trip?
Thanks for watching and I would ask you contact Michael directly at his cell phone number that was in the video and in the video written description. Contact Michael at (864) - 803 - TOUR ... again thank for watching! Bob
We would love to check it out. Is there a group that we can join to receive updates about up coming events or rides ?
I do not ride in any organized groups but you can join Jet Rider National either the Florida Group or the South Carolina Group - they go this area. Thanks for watching…. Bob
@@BobBroeking Hi Bob, Thank you for the information.
Mom I'm curious what GPS system are you using on your Yamaha
This video will tell you everything you need about my chartplotter and install : Installing a 7" LOWRANCE Elite TI2 Chart Plotter/Fishfinder GPS on a 2020 Yamaha FX WaveRunner

ah!! i see you got outa florida!! nice lake, thanks for sharing,,ill have to go check it out!! coms see kentuckys lake cumberland.....
I have been past Lake Cumberland too many times to list but never with a ski. The thing about lakes is they have to have some other interesting things along the shore or it is just anther lake video that everyone turns off. hahahhahahahahaha I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
