    Last time I was there was 1975. None of those houses were near the water. One fishing shack on stilts over the main spring. The guy that lived there invited us in for lunch and treated us like he had known us for life. One of my fondest memories of livin in FL. Water was much clearer then as well. Main spring had three holes and looked like a bowling ball.

Then we all went to a spot that was popular for its sunsets on the ocean. Best fun ever! ♥️'d it.

    Kelly I just wanted to tell you that I had a family emergency yesterday afternoon and have literally been on the phone almost ever since my anxiety was thru the roof I hadn't eaten yet today and once I finally got a moment all I wanted to do was to make sum food and sit and watch this video of yours that I hadn't watched yet so I heated up sum spaghetti my favorite comfort food and sat and watched your video. I feel Soooo relaxed now my point of telling you all this is that I just absolutely Love your videos. I will be moving to FL in a few years so I can live a similar life free diving and fishing an such and you are such a kind wonderful person. I just wanted to tell you that you made me feel SO Much better through my hard time today. Thank You for all you do

      I'm Sorry to hear that as well. That is very true though. Unless you've experienced it you just really can not relate. I'm so glad everything is working out well for you :0) Gabe is such a silly person I Love seeing you guys together its really great. Well I have Family in Key West, Orlando, and Palm Springs so I really haven't decided yet. My uncle lives in Orlando he was a voice over for a few of the rides at Universal Studios for like 30years which is pretty cool but my Aunt passed away last year (his wife)so I might go somewhere around that area. Not 100% sure yet though I still have time to decide. All I know is for the longest time I've wanted to move out there and live off the Ocean. It'll be a few years yet but I'm sure you'll be continuing to grow on here all the way up until then and after so I'll probably be hitting you up for advice on my dive gear and everything surrounding it when I get there :0) I can't wait. I learned how to swim when I was 2 and haven't looked back lolll being in/at the Ocean is by far my favorite place to be

    Very cool video Kelly,awesome footage, nice to see your mom again in the video. Have never seen a Manatee act like a dolphin but have seen two do some thing strange last year up on the Ocklawaha River at the north side boat ramp at Moss Bluff. They acted like they were fighting, showing a very aggressive behavior, but after talking to a park ranger and showing him the footage, he said it was mating season and most likely it was two male Manatees competing to improve the chances of breeding with a receptive female.....

    hey Kelly :) This is one of my fav spring rivers in Fl.! I too was there a few weeks ago when it was cold, but I also went this past Sunday (28th) and it was just like summer time, it was just awesome! I got a few manatees and lots of other fish but haven't had a chance to edit vids yet. I actually learned something from this video though, I never knew that Hospital Hole had a spring in it too. I just thought it was a really deep hole like a few of the others in the river, but that's really cool! thanks, and keep up your great work! love your vids and Gabe's too! :)
