Thanks for posting your videos I love exploring Florida waters and your videos encourage me to get out more often. Don’t stop. 💪
I appreciate the positive feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks. Bob
I'm really enjoying your videos....Hopefully you keep them coming.
Great that type of feedback really motivates me… thanks for commenting! Bob
😎👍
Always appreciate your sun glasses and thumbs up… thanks for watching. Bob
It would be sad if it’s your last season doing this. You provide such fantastic content.
Appreciate the comment and your thoughts... we will see, Thanks for watching; more videos coming! Bob
Have watched many of your videos and have noticed that the water is usually pretty smooth. Not so here in central Missouri. I've seen crests as high as 6 feet. Really takes a toll on the body. I could understand taking a break with water like we have here. No reason to quit if you are riding on glass 99% of the time. Keep on cruising!! 👍👍

Thanks for watching. Bob
Yeah, I've seen those videos as well. It's just a normal summer day on the lakes here. 😃😃 Thanks for all the fun times you have shared. Looks like you have access to plenty of smooth water. Just give up the ocean riding, and you will be fine. Thanks again for all the great content. Be safe, Bob.
The problem here is too many people with giant boats going 75 miles an hour! Not kidding.
I was by Lake of the Ozarks 3 weeks ago coming back from Colorado....dead calm... :-) you crack me up... Be safe!
Man that was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Glad you found it worth a few minutes of your time to watch... your feedback makes me happy! Bob
Bob,
Another great video and adventure! Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer/installer in Central Florida for the application of "Gator glide"? Bottom of the skis could use some love.
Yes Jeff Butler owner of Performance Fiberglass Repair in Cocoa Beach at 321-720-9299. Pfiberglassrepairs@gmail.com
Wow, long ride! Great video. Last season of riding??
Maybe... that at least proves that two of you watched the video! lol.... we will see...I have lots of hobbies and passions and sports I do... we would have been over 100 miles had we gotten through those locks that day! Thanks for watching closely and commenting! Bob
Can’t stop riding so soon…
We will see; interested to see how many people actually watch the video and catch that.... lol. Danny and Tracy are working me over s we speak to keep riding! Thanks for watching! Bob
i was going to go out on Saturday to Harris Chain...
It’s a chain well worth skiing…. I had not been there in a couple of years and found it enjoyable as ever! Thanks for watching! Bob
Let me know what you think.... clock wise or counter clockwise.... :-) ?
I'm buying a property in Leesburg a couple of miles of Ski Beach and the Venetian Gardens. We will be building a home out there, and I'm really excited for this chapter.
Nice, you will have a very large chain at your doorstep to explore and enjoy... congratulations to you both! thanks for watching and commenting! Bob
Was another great ride
Glad you enjoyed it Even the ones that we dont necessarily complete our entire plan or mission are a blast with Danny and Tracy! Thanks for watching! Bob
It is always about the adventure for me. Not always a mission needed for me.
@@tcar32909 I agree with you about the adventure....Yes we all ride for different reasons... when I started motorcycling it was so I could commute in the HOV lanes in Wash DC to the Pentagon... then I started to do long distance riding, 1000, 1500 miles in 24 hours with the Ironbutt folks. Then I did the Ironbutt in 2003 over 11 days around the United States. See: whitespider.broeking.com/?page_id=424 So that sort of has transferred over to ski riding.... I am NOT the type of guy that enjoys just circling a lake and going to have lunch on the water. I like to have an adventure planned; some chance that it wont work and I like to ride from point A to point B.... that probably will not change in me an IS NOT for everyone. it is just me and why I ride. When I start to run out of adventures; it may be time for me to go on to my next passion.... we will see; thanks for the dialogue. Bob
Tracy and I get on him about quitting, no one likes a quitter.
We have a big trip planned next year and he won’t go with us.
Oh my…. Do you know Greenville SC is an easy commute distance to Jocassee? 😳😎
Counterclockwise……I’ve had the same argument with my wife on the direction of ceiling fan rotation…….we’ve even laid on the floor and looked up thru the fan blades to pick out an imaginary 12 o’clock position on the ceiling. Then I briefly turn on the fan to observe which direction the blade rotates to travel to the imaginary one o’clock position which clearly the blade rotates as the clock hands do. She still swears the fan rotates counter clockwise. Grrr.
Danny would clearly have trouble with this ceiling fan exercise but I am sure takes comfort that other people sometimes get confused... If I am still alive when he gets on medicare I'll help him with the drawing the clock test.... thanks for watching and I found your comment the best on my channel in many months.... lol Bob
@@BobBroeking Awesome job Bob. Love the theme music.
that thumbnail!
Sometimes thumbnails are hard to pick and other times....not so hard... this was an easy one. Thanks for watching the video and commenting on the thumbnail! Bob
Last season? Giving up the jetski? Why?
Well nice to see you watch all of the video…. I have many challenges and hobbies I like to tackle…!used to be a long distance motorcyclist and gave that up when I returned from Baghdad in 2011. I feel this challenge may be winding down as well… let’s see where 2024 takes us… the trip to SC to lake Jocassee and Keowee getting got my blood going again! Thanks for watching and asking! Bob
Last season of jetskiing? 😮 did I hear that correctly
You did hear me talk about that possibility.... I have done a lot on 4 years... I have many passions in my life! We will see! Thanks for watching and commenting! Bob
Hi Bob, Beautiful calm water around Monkey Island. I looked at it on Google maps, that's a large area, beautiful. But apparently technically unreliable locks. Something like this hardly occurs in the Netherlands. Our locks operate almost all year round, but with limited locking time in the winter period. The hideaway seems like a nice restaurant to me. It was another nice vid!. I also have a question regarding the tool you use at the end of the video to indicate the route you took. I also make videos for our classic car club, and am looking for such a tool, but can't find anything suitable. This is the link to our UA-cam channel >> www.youtube.com/@MercedesS-klasseClubNederland
I will check out the link.... that is actually the first time I have ever had an issue with these locks; usually no problem... had we had more time we could have waited...but gt bored. :-) Hideaway gets the job done for food and docks. I was just in the Netherlands when I took a Viking River cruise from Amsterdam to Basel Switzerland on the Rhine. Used to live in Frankfurt GE. I asked the ship's captain a lot of questions about how he navigates, etc...
