- For the Christmas Holidays we decided to visit Live Oak Landing in hopes of exploring the waterway in and around the Destin, FL. Let’s just say, man plans and God laughs but he protected us the entire way through this day and gave us joy along the way!

Well, you taught me something new, but investing into a boat that we won't do. 😂
We'll stick to camping, water wrafting, and mountain hiking on the ground. 😂
I enjoyed your video and applaud you and your husband for daring to explore outside the norm. Lessons were learned, and you conquered one of your greatest challenges.
It was a whole adventure. We wanted more ways to adventure as well. Now we struggle with which adventure to take because we feel like one or the other is being neglected. Thanks for watching. 😁
Great video. Night boating can be sketchy at times but you guys did very well. You should get a chart subscription for your Garmin screen. The Garmin is a powerful piece of equipment. Properly setup you will have great confidence in all navigational scenarios. Look at the Navionics or a G3 subscription. Money well spent. You should have much more detail on your screen (depth, contour, markers etc) Also you should look into a radar. Way more useful than the sionix in my opinion. You will need it if you run into fog for sure. If you get one with chirp/doppler you can also see weather in the distance. We run at night or in fog with complete confidence. Always nice to see "beautiful people" out on the water. Cheers and good luck!
We will definitely be doing some major homework after this trip so thank you for all the suggestions. I have the Navionics app but had not had the opportunity to really study its features. I do believe it is much better than Wavve. Wavve was very user friendly and helped quickly with minimal learning curve but I know there’s better. Jay has already said he’s going to really dig in to the Garmin as well. The radar suggestion is a gem as well. We’re going to get ourselves all situated. Thank you again for watching and the kind words. Happy New Year and safe travels to you all.
You guys did great. I will tell you get use to taking the boat out at night time. You will be surprised what you see at night only that you won't see during the day. Plus during those hot summer days, night fishing is the best.
Thanks and many thanks for checking out the video. it was definitely different and will take some getting use to. I think I’d really like being anchored at night on the boat and fishing but limiting the night navigating. 😊
i live on the Choctawhatchee Bay and its really cool to see other people talk familiar places like crab island and Baytown marina witch ive been to multiple times. hope you have many more adventures and good times
@@Whirlpool999 It is a beautiful area down there. We want to explore more of it but want to find either a closer place to stay on the water to the Destin area or a closer boat launch. Any suggestions? Again, thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
@@MySUPRunnethOver i live on the east side but some good spots are north beach social and ''the bay'' witch are restaurants on the water. and a boat launch i know is at Hogtown park but idk if that is close enough
Happy New Year!🥳🎉Awesome video and wow, so cool seeing all those dolphins swimming along with yall! Great job navigating back in the dark!! So glad y'all made it back safely!
The Dolphins were definitely the highlight of the day! 🥰 It was definitely stressful but we learned so much about navigating and other upgrades we need, such as spotlights on the roof. While I pray we’ll never need them, you just never know. Thanks and I truly appreciate you watching. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awesome trip! And amazing video. You are the MVP Captain!💯♥️💯♥️💯♥️💯♥️💯💯♥️
It definitely was. Hey, we did that together! Great memories and new skills gained. 🙏🏾💯😘🙏🏾💯😘🙏🏾💯😘
Awesome family!!
@@John-kx2io Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾☺️
Great. You did well and are safe. Im sure that your going to enjoy your boating and get alot of pleasure with your family.
Yes we are. Ready for the next boat trip. Thanks for watching.
Good job in navigating back. Glad you got back for the night in your tiny house rental.
Thanks a bunch. Yes, no money wasted. 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad y’all made it back safe. Angel sounds priceless.😂👍🏾 playing catch-up with the videos.
Completely understand. That day was a learning experience for real for us. 😅
That was good
So glad you found it entertaining. Thanks for watching. 🙌🏾😊
Great job!!! Really enjoyed your video. Recommendation..Garmin with appropriate maps and Navonics
Thanks for the tips. I have the Navionics app but need to learn how to use it. We’re doing our homework, for sure. Appreciate the positive feedback and thank you again for checking out the video.
Enjoyed your video. Can I offer a couple suggestions? Some new people to your channel (me) may not know anything about the boat. I’d suggest in every video mention at the beginning the model of boat and length. In today’s video you could have talked about how much fuel you started with and so on. Also mention how far you went and how much gas you burned.
I’m more apt to watch a particular model boat put thru its paces than just a family on a cruise.
Anyway, enjoy your boating and look forward to your next adventure.
@@bill29456 Thanks for your suggestion. I will definitely start adding it in the description of the videos. I’ll be honest, I have no desire to attempt to sale anyone on this boat in the videos I post. I do lean more towards sharing our experiences and how we use the boat, or any of our other recreational vehicles, on our outings. That style of content may not be for everyone but if you get some enjoyment out of it, I appreciate that. We are still learning a lot about boat life so I would dare say we are savvy enough to compete with a Nauti Styles type channel 😊 in giving viewers the ins and outs of our boat but we love their content for how technical it gets when we’re wanting that style of content. Really appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry Jay got sick - and happy that you arrived safely in the dark. Me and my wife have been looking at purchasing a MF 795 or 895 so it was good to see how it performed in a little rougher conditions.
Also the best sea sickness medicine I have found is "Kwells" - has less drowsiness effects, and is fast acting.
Thanks again & Happy Holidays!
Thanks for watching and the medicine suggestion. I’ll check it out. We have had a few rough cruises and it has performed well. It just takes some getting use to and we’re still in the process of that 🤭 We wanted to stay in trailerable range since we don’t live on or near a marina so we went 795. If we did, we likely would have gone with the 895 for the wonderful extra berth. You’ll find what’s best for you. 😊 Happy boat hunting and Happy Holidays to you all as well.
Nice video. Hate you didn't make it to your destination. However, this trip made you both better captains!!!
It definitely did. Every time we go out we learn something new. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏾
Sonny is adorable! I live on the choctawhatchee bay I hope you had some good times!
@@thomasfelts6745 Thanks. He’s a good boy! 😊 The dolphins were definitely a highlight. We love it down that way especially with our Gheenoe. For Manifest, we want to find a better place to put in to get us closer to Crab Island. We’re thinking Big Lagoon State Park may be better. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏾🙏🏾☺️
Bravo 👏👏👏🙏
Appreciate it and thanks for checking out the video! 🙏🏾
Really enjoyed watching your video. Sorry to see that Jay was sea sick. You are going to have to take some sea sickness pill along next time. You both did an amazing job navigation the waters, especially at night. Before long you guys are going to be pros at it. By the way, the breakfast at the beginning of the video looked super delicious 😋
Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, I’ll be sure to add that to our first aid kit. He really thought it was the gas fumes but, he didn’t get sick until he went below deck so maybe a combination of both. These tough lessons we’re learning have us feeling like we’re earning our stripes as captains for sure. I hadn’t made fried cinnamon and brown sugar apples in a long time, so they really hit the spot. 😊
This was the most exciting video I've seen in a long time.Please let your Your husband husband no when he said I'm not going to make it. I know that feeling.
So glad you were entertained. It was definitely a memorable experience. 😊 I surely will 😬 The sea sickness just hit him hard when he went below deck and the bay was very unkind that day. Really thank you for checking out the video.
Hi, these are my stomping grounds. I live in Santa Rosa Beach. Get in contact next time you are here. I am also a USCG Certified Captain
I really enjoy your videos! We are a family of 4 looking for a similar style boat and we landed on your channel. Please keep them coming! Happy New Year!
So glad you found us and happy you like the content. We have every plan to keep the videos coming 😊 Happy New Year to you all as well and enjoy every moment of the boat hunting process ☺️
Great video as usual family 🏌🏽♂️🏌🏽♂️🏌🏽♂️ my family & I enjoy yall videos especially when we eat dinner✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Thank you so much 🙌🏾 Happy to hear that!☺️ Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
