    Congrats on living y’all best life. I hope to soon get there one day… currently dealing with depression so your videos get me through each day

      Hey man stay strong. Just know that you have a purpose in life, depression is a part of finding it. Discomfort is what’s needed in order to grow, in other words if it weren’t for the bad days the good days wouldn’t be so good. I can promise whatever it is that you’re going through that you can come out on top. Happiness is all based on outlook, persistence and positivity. Find what it is that makes you happy, go after it and never give up. We are always here for you my friend!

Keep up the great videos love them.

    I loved the Dry Tortugas when I was there about 30 years ago. My high school took 20 of us to camp for 4 nights in the beach. The boat took us fishin' and I caught the biggest fish, a fat mutton snapper. Good times! The lobsters were huge, plentiful and protected unfortunately. It's a beautiful place with lots of fish and the fort is awesome.
