    😊 I'm so glad you and Brian got to enjoy this kayak excursion together. His trail name should be PB..Paddle Bear. 😂 The manatees were right under your boat! Gabe was a fantastic tour guide. This was the perfect way to relax after dinner, thanks MB. ✌️

    Looks kind you and your husband enjoyed kayaking through the mangroves and watching those manatee and having them up so close that would’ve been a memory to cherish. I bet your shoulders and arms were tired the next morning. ❤😊

      @dannythecamper4186 yeah, I think so. It might be a little chilly since we’ll be starting from where we left off (VA, mile 758.8…unless we hop back on for a bit before then! 😂), but it’ll be great!! Sectioning the AT will be so much better for us in our season of life right now.

    Thanks for letting us be the third wheel on your date!! 😂
    This was another fun adventure filled with cool info and stunning views!
    I have to complement the young man who was y’all’s guide. He was truly enjoying the surroundings as much as you were. He came across as knowledgeable, capable, polite and a hard worker. Once common traits that seem more and more rare these days. If any of your girls are single and close to his age… maybe they need to go on that tour if he isn’t already snapped up! 😉

    first time i saw bioluminescent was right where you were at. tho i was fishing and thought my topwater lure was being chased by a huge fish. wasn't till a few casts later i realized what was happening, it was so cool i didn't mind not catching any fish. the glow was worth it. never boated with a cowboy hat, but he makes it seem like the right Headware

      Isn’t it so beautiful to witness. I wish I could’ve caught more on video to show you all, especially those who have never seen it. It’s magical!

      Hi Mama Bear and Papa Bear. What a fantastic experience. Have never seen manatees so up close and in such a large group together. The whole video with all the birds was fantastic. We used to rent a cabin in Southern MO, which was almost directly across from a Blue Heron rookery and not too far from an eagle's nest. It was awesome. Couldn't believe how noisy the herons were as they settled down for the night. Have seen the bioluminesence before. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing your "romantic excursion" with several thousand of us. It was a great evening. Take care. Stay safe. See you next video.

      Oh wow… that was so cool!!
      Can the manatees tip over the kayaks?
      Bird Island was awesome!!! Loved seeing them all up in the trees! They looked happy and content there.
      What a beautiful day you had!! Gorgeous sunset!
      Thank you for bringing us along! 🙏🏼

      @galejones5870 it was really a nice experience! Thank you for watching.
      And yes, if the manatees wanted to tip our kayak over, they certainly could. They are 1,000lbs. Luckily they are known as the gentle giants. 😊
