Hi Aaron, I haven't seen too many people comment on this, but I wanted to say thank you for giving an old girl like Tipsy a great dog life in her golden years as she gets a little older and slows down a little bit. It's great to see her so active and excited in all your videos. I'm sure you love her very much, and I'm sure she feels the same about you =)

Arron, you and Madeline are the best thing I've seen on KZread. As a lifelong Floridian, a diver of over forty years, I've heard a lot of bullshit in my day. Y'all are the real deal, it doesn't happen near enough but good people need to hear that they are wanted and loved every now and then. You have a lifelong fan here in Sarasota, peace my friend!

A beautiful couple, in a beautiful place, creating beautiful content. Can’t get much better… Another great humble video. ❤

I'm a native Floridian and been visiting the Keys my entire life. You're living my dream. Good for you.

I've lived like this in Florida for over 55 years. It goes by fast. I was born here, 1958. I got my first boat when I was five. Ya better enjoy what you have there. It's a great life.

You should be very proud of yourself, Aaron. Very few people make the decision to find a vocation that they love doing and stick with it through the lean times. Most just give up. You followed your dream, worked out the " bugs" and now you're seeing the fruits of your labor. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. 😊❤

No worries on a response, just know your videos always make my day. Thanks for sharing all the realy cool things your do.

Congrats on making your dream happen. Very cool to see you take doggo out with you.

I know it's a heck of a lot work to do what you do, and you probably have your share of difficult people to deal with in the business you created, but most of us looking at the images you captured in this video and all of your other videos see paradise.

Love how y’all cook together like this.

I moved back to Alabama, ten years ago, i'm watching you and missing living in morocco island. You're living a life man

You got into the Keys at the right time. Its changed so much since the 90s. Especially middle Keys. Like everywhere developers are cashing in. In any event, Tipsy enjoying the adventure is great.

Often times you may hear a person say," He's got it made" with a little tone of jealousy. I will never say those words because people never know the whole story or how hard a person has had to work to get to where they are. So, what I will say is this. I am so proud for you and what you have accomplished. I can't think of another person who deserves your rewards more than you. A friend told me years ago, " God knows what he can trust you with". LOL I was actually typing this when you began to speak of the difficulties you have encountered over the years. No reply needed; I couldn't imagine the amount of time you have to spend doing that.

Hello, Aaron. Congratulations on the 10 years! Live The Life You Love! Have a Blessed Day 😊

It’s great to see people being humble, and just happy with the little they have it shows that you don’t need much to be happy. A simple house with a creek in the back and looks what a happy man. Congratulations to you.

The life I want to live. Every time I visit the beach I can feel that it’s the place I want to live out my days. I aspire to one day do what you do, happy 10 year anniversary! No response needed

Amazing work captain and you definitely earned what you have today congrats! Always never forget where you came from and thank the LORD! 🙏

Congratulations on your success Aaron! You have worked hard and you deserve everything you have! Love the channel, and always look forward to Monday evening when I get home to enjoy your videos. Also love seeing Tipsy on the boat!

Good job Aaron! Congrats on celebrating a decade in paradise! You celebrated your 10 yrs and the keys just celebrated its 200!

We'll miss your comments, but understand. I love your lifestyle and enjoy you're adventures and your cooking very much. I'll keep watching!

Just a quick note to say that a lot of is are envious. But thank you for sharing these videos. Congratulations on the past 10 years.

Your honesty and realness is a huge part of what makes this channel special. Keep it up man we appreciate it.

I been following for couple years. Not really a following type but you, Maddie and Will are great! Congrats on 10 years and keep it coming brother.

The amount of fish and the shark, puffer fish, whatever that crazy hugee thing behind the shark was amazing to see. What a dream!

I've always been impressed by how well you kept up with responding to all your fans. There comes a time where realizing you have been successful, have arrived and you need to learn to chill, enjoy life and what you planned to achieve. Get back to us when you have the time and desire. Appreciate you and your efforts prove success. And Madeleine, although, much more comfortable in front of the camera ... is just so freakin CUTE! She'll keep you young for decades!

Dude, kudos to the life you have chosen to take. Love that you have been doing this for 10 years. With 90% blind dog we have struggled with the places we can visit (in retirement) we really appreciate all the detail you provide in your videos.

Congratulations on 10 years of living with a business in the Keys. You, Madeline and Will give me joy and revive old memories of growing up in south Florida. Been gone nearly 30 years but when you take us out on the boat or underwater, it feels like I’m there with you. Keep living and loving the opportunity the Lord put before you.

These videos never get old

Aaron, good for you and super pumped to see you happy

This ... i think ... is the perfect use of youtube. Education ... meeting ppl ... seeing sights. Thank you for this.

I vicariously live through these videos. I gave up my Caribbean living a year ago. After 5 years in, you were always one medical emergency away from being totally bankrupt so now I'm mainland again starting a hikers life. I do miss living that life. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to the V.I. someday. Go back to barge working and marine mechanical.... keep posting buddy.

So, the days of being amazed that you actually respond to our comments are over. As it should be. Put your energy into making great content and enjoying the wonderful life we all get to live vicariously through you. Thanks for all you do.

Enjoy living your dream! You made what you have and deserve every minute of it.

You Need to use a double boiler and warm and thickn up that sauce. And put a lil vinegar in that water for your eggs. And some finely chopped chives as top garnish.

A shout from Merritt Island my dude. Just another Dibs Disciple out here wanting to let you know how much your subscribers appreciate the content and the effort. The escape to a different way of life is always one of my favorite parts of any week. 🤙🏻

Hey brother, don't even worry about the comment's. You did great for a long while, you get to get on with your own stuff. If people get butt hurt they'll get over it. Enjoy your new free time, you deserve it. Keep on keepin on...

Thank you for the upload your dog is so sweet I commend how much you look after her. I'm a Floridian and love the Florida Keys. Great catch ! Awesome breakfast you two outdid yourselves kudos !

The recipe I followed for Hollandaise sauce you cooked it using a double boiler stirring constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling. That also thickens it.

Key west is my home and always will be. I definitely will never take this place for granted, and glad you feel the same way. also nice bugs.

Hey, you're a freash water conch now ! I moved to Key West in 1985. Stayed till 1990. Some of the best years of my life. I had conch take me to a spot, maybe behind little torch. We shot across the back country in and old tri-hull. Nelson took us to this lagoon or ravin. It was maybe 10 ft deep and 150 feet long . A deep channel with a fast current. We used a rope to return to the boat each time. Had our boat limit in 30 minutes. I miss the keys.

I found your channel about 3 weeks ago, I'm not sure how it took me this long. Great content, I'm working my way through all your videos. You really are living the dream, good on you for the hard work and dedication to see it through!!!

You seem like a great guy man! It’s really cool to see someone reach their goals and share it with others a lot of people don’t understand anything can be done in this life you just need to be persistent and stay on the correct path!

Thank you for sharing your dreams with us! Keep it up and enjoy every minute!

We always appreciate good clean content, especially when we watch it with our kids. We try to teach them that God has given us a wonderful world, and we should respect and take care of it, and be grateful for the wonderful natural world and food that he provides. We live in South Carolina and we never get clean water in our area . I’m originally from Florida and hope to take a trip down to the Florida Keys again one day.

We lived on Long Key and I so relate to your life in the Keys. I truly miss it.

Aaron, take it from a guy who has been happily married 38 years … keep cooking together! You guys are doing it all right.

Aaron love your videos great to watch real people instead of all the craziness on KZread. God bless you from the Bodner family in Jacksonville Florida.

I think I found your channel about 18 months ago. Even then I could not believe you replied to as many comments as you do. I'll not ditch your channel because you don't have time to reply. Carry on, good sir.

Aaron. Im speachless!! You do what i always wanted to do. But never did!!! Greeting from Switzerland.

Hi Aaron, I found a foolproof way to poach eggs. 1/2C room temp water in a small bowl, crack a large egg in, microwave on high for 50 - 55 seconds in a 1150 W microwave, extricate with a slotted spoon. Use a new bowl and new water for the next egg. Almost always perfect. Good Luck mate.

I've been scuba diving , spearing, lobstering for 15 years, mostly out of Jupiter. But, after watching your videos I was inspired enough to take the PADI freediver course. Thanks for that. I'm a few months away from my 70th birthday, but age is only a number, not a restriction. We winter in Sebastian, but if I get down to Key West in the not too distant future I would like to book a charter, just not too deep. lol . Keep up the great work and livn' the dream.

I subscribe to 15-20 channels and watch most of them regularly. I comment on many of the videos because I've heard it helps validate the channels. Don't apologize for not responding to the comments and questions. We all know it takes a lot of time to edit the videos for quality and that's what we appreciate the most. Keep up the good work my man.

wow! You two are just such a great couple! You worked your butt off to get where you are, I'm sure, but you are living the life everybody wants but are too cautious to give it a try! Live it up!

Aaron, I lived in KW at 1619 Atlantic Blvd. many years ago, wish I could afford to live there now. I think the boat you are using is the same I used to have. It was made in Brevard county. A Ganoe maybe? Mine was 17 ft long, with a 9.9 horse outboard . That hull was awesome, no matter how hard you tried to turn it, it just dug in.

What a good dog you got there. So patient waiting for daddy

Hey bro, just happened to find your channel today as I was surfing through KZread watching some of my Sunday shows and now I subscribed. Your channel is exactly the kind of channels I like to watch. Especially being a Floridian and someone who loves fishing and the lifestyle. It's awesome you followed your dream and get to live that paradise lifestyle and it's kind of appropriate I found your channel after losing Jimmy Buffett this weekend. Your lifestyle is everything he sung about. 🌴⛵️🎣

Really appreciate the effort on the B roll shots ( boat passing by , etc ) , we know its a pain but it sure ups the production quality and immersive experience .

You could put the Hollendays over a double boiler and whisk it a little until it gets thicker. When I was a chef, that's how I did it. Great job though guys...it looks fantastic.
