Living his dream of walking the entire United States Coastline


It was a beautiful Friday afternoon in November, when we decided to take the Pontoon Boat for a cruise down Ole River, along the Florida & Alabama Gulf Coast. Departing Happy Harbour Marina in Orange Beach, Alabama, our destination is the world famous Flora Bama Yacht Club. It is located on the Florida & Alabama State line on Ole River at 30.2827° N, 87.5173° W (North of the Gulf of Mexico) The water was smooth as glass, the temp was 70 degrees and the Bama was calling our name. 

The Flora Bama Yacht Club is world famous, known by millions as the ultimate party spot. The reputation of being located directly on the state line of Florida and Alabama goes unmatched. The beautiful sugar white sand beach, amazing music venues, and emerald waters of the Gulf, are a magnet for vacationers that really want to party on the beach.
However, the people, and the stories are what make this place famous. We have met so many great people, from so many places over the years at the Flora Bama.
Well today was a little different: Have You Ever Met A Pirate ?
I can officially take that off my bucket list. 

After beaching our Pontoon Boat, we placed our regular order of a burger & bushwhacker. Then found a table by the water, when along comes this canoe with pontoon type outriggers, powered by a 2hp Honda outboard (lunchbox)
The captain of this unique vessel was no other than Randy Montgomery aka Circle Walker. As we waved to our new Pirate friend, welcoming  him to our beach. Little did we know the story he had to tell was over seven thousand miles long (pun intended) Randy has been on a trip of a lifetime, walking the entire coastal perimeter of the United States!
​As we engaged in conversation about Randy & his trip, we had to ask: what's the story on the Canoe / Pirate Ship ? He laughed and said that's my Pontoon Boat! During his quest across the northern Gulf Coast of Florida (Panhandle) Randy ran into some major challenges trying to navigate around Mexico Beach, FL (due to the aftermath of hurricane Michael) After meeting some locals, he was told about the ICW (Inter Coastal Waterway) as and alternative to get him to the Florida / Alabama state line. Knowing he would need to swim or float across Pensacola Bay. He chose the latter, acquired his new vessel. After some modifications, that included the addition of the two outriggers / pontoons Captain Randy was headed west. Crossing Pensacola Bay was exceptionally challenging said Randy: I thought I was gonna fricking DROWN! He was really looking forward to crossing that line into Alabama. We laughed and had a great time with our new Pirate friend Randy sharing stories. He had a fan that was coming to pick him up for a couple days, and he was ditching the Canoe / Pontoon Boat going back to walking. He has zero chances of ever drowning while walking.

Welcome To Our Island
Now here's the best part: He Is Real!  What you see is what you get. He loves meeting good people, 100% of what his entire journey has been all about. It was a pleasure meeting him, and being a part of his amazing journey. 7,100+ miles of walking the entire northern and eastern United States Coastline, Randy can now add 150 miles of Canoe / Pontoon Boat to his adventure.Prior to our departure, we let him know that he had not yet crossed into Alabama, as I pointed to the buoy marker 50 yards away. You can follow our Pirate friend on Facebook Circle Walker / Randy Montgomery or if you live on the MS, LA, TX coast, be on the lookout for Randy, however, he will be walking. ​#LivingTheToonLife
