Excellent and fun video. Thank you for posting. I'm from Connecticut and retired and moved to Tampa nearly 5 years ago. I've been enjoying my new life in Tampa. May be one of these days I will find myself visiting in Siesta Key. Happy travels to you both. ❤❤😊😊

@@TheDetourDuo How about that. What a small world. Glad to hear from you. I grew up in Hartford, then my parents bought a house in Bloomfield. Years later, I moved to East Hartford, then retired and moved to Tampa in 2018. It took some time getting used to a new state and new city, but I met some very nice people and became friends with them. So far, life has turned out quite nice for me here in Tampa. I hope it continues. Please continue with more of your videos. Both of you really enjoy each other's company and watching your videos are fun and uplifting. Thank you and God bless. ☺
Hahaha, I love Tony's professor look while explaining red tide. He looks so dapper!"Flat feet like a beaver" I am dead. It didn't hit us as hard in Clearwater Beach but I did see some dead fish :( and it tickled my throat and eyes.

I went there 4 days ago on Sunday and there is no red tide. Came from Fort Myers since our beach is destroyed. SKB is way better anyways . It was my first time.
There’s another Broken Egg off the same exit you’d take to get to Siesta Key Rum! Fun Fact: Dick Vitale is a regular at the Broken Egg off University ☺️ Also, Siesta Key Rum is definitely worth a stop at. Next time you’re on Siesta check out The Cottage for dinner, so good! Safe travels ✈️

Thanks for the recommendation, and the kind words. I shoot mostly on the A7SIII S-Log 3 profile. I also use a mixture of 360 and DJI D-Cinelike raw files. (Still having trouble matching colors between cameras). However, it really started to click a lot better for me when I discovered phantom luts for the sony. I know that sounds like an ad, but there really are the best luts I've ever used. Just follow the instructions for how to set your zebras and you're golden. let me see if I have a link

We've had a couple subscribers comment and tell us it's gone now. You're pretty safe in May though. Typically it's seasonal and occurs any time from Aug-Dec, although this year it happened a lot later than normal.
I enjoyed your video. it's such a beautiful area. Do you know how often there is a red tide? I am wondering if it could be a deterrent from living/buying in the area. We are considering moving to Florida and weighing between the east and west coast. I am wondering if the red tide allergy affects go beyond the beach? Thanks.🙂
@TheDetourDuo
Жыл бұрын
Thank you. red tide is usually once or twice a year. typically August to December but this year's bloom was really late. Gulf side of Florida is definitely better if you ask us, and worth dealing with red tide once a year. It mostly hits from Clearwater and Sanibel Island. Farther inland isn't as bad for allergies.

The sign on the beach says that. We did not give it that ranking. But if you want to see who else gives it a top ranking, it populates on Google searches as one of the best Florida beaches in most of the articles.
Why would anybody take advise from someone who's visiting for less then 24 hours? Been here over a decade and this video is a insult to our island .
