Howdy fellow low-budget adventurers! This is where I post videos about such things as: shanty boats. Scooter trips. interesting people who do amazing things. Sometimes it's "Back Roads Brenton". Sometimes it's "Back Waters Brenton". As of summer 2018, I'm building up a "shanty boat" (26 foot trailerable houseboat) with plans to float it from Michigan to Florida this fall and winter. (Edit: I did it, please check it out here) I also take a lot of road trips on various smaller motorcycles and scooters. Oh, I also fish a lot. I'll try to keep things short and interesting. Thank you so much for finding my channel!
Very nice videos really enjoying them,, anybody know what the salvage laws is could you salvage one of those wrecked boats are one of them that's been thrown up on the bank😮
Another great video so many sights to see. I figured you would be back on the loop in the spring since you will be in the cold part of the country just wondering about it?
Great episode, but, you're killin me with the fresh seafood shots! That Nomad was riding a bit low in the water, eh? I'm brining my NOMAD home in a couple of weeks. :(
Wavey is a Star ⭐️ everywhere - I love watching her on the shopping cart rides - she is so well behaved & happy ❤- There were really pretty views on this adventure - Thank you for sharing
Thanks for this one. I did this stretch a couple of times back in the late ‘70s on my grandfather’s old wooden sailboat. Imagine the rock shrimp were $1.50 a pound…. I miss those easy days.
You need the dinghy on the back side of the first big wake. A boat as slow and shallow as yours doesn't have much of a wake, so it doesn't matter. I helped a big houseboat bail their swamped aluminum vee bottom dinghy late one night. They said they had sunk it before also. I later saw a picture of them on facebook. Their stern wake was a foot taller than the dinghy, so when they slowed down real fast, that wave rolled right over the boat. I reached out to them & let them know that was the problem & they thanked me. If you are slowly manuvering, the tow can be tightened up or tied tight to the side.
Spent my summers in Holden Beach growing up. Highly recommend you get a good quality cast iron pan for cooking. Wipe clean and great taste once seasoned. 🙌
@@melvinmoorman4512 The Height of your boat above the waterline. That's why you see measurement boards at bridges these days. Tells you the clearence a vessel has to go under a bridge, Powerlines, or other obstruction. Lay a long objece across you Solar panels in you case, then measure down to the water from the top of that. Air Draft! In this episode, you mentioned that the first bridge had a measurement of 11 feet of clearence. You boat is not 11 feet tall out of the water at it's tallest point I do not believe.
Just have to say this since you're getting close to my waters, all those boats with tall outriggers are Shrimp Trawlers. We hardly call them fish boats. Like what your doin!!!!
I would imagine that the distance to the dinghy affects the drag, i.e., the dinghy rides up on the turbulence of the propellor. Finding the optimum distance is another matter.
Can't wait for the next video, I love Southport NC my dog and I always eat at Fishy Fish and ride my bike all around with the dog trailer hooked behind it . I was last there first week in April too bad I missed you and Wavy .
@23:15 Dinghy painter length. They have it let out past the prop turbulence so it doesn't get so much chop and vibration. Also when they stop from speed, it will lose most of its momentum before it hits the stern. You don't have either of those problems. ;) Love your content.
