Ep:31 The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "A Glassy Day on Mobile Bay" | Time out of Mind 

Thank you. I figured something like that

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaillard_Island

Oh my goodness. Well they're just doing their job ;)

My boxer did too! Lol

@@tolson5680 protector;)

Thank you Linda. It's definitely smart to pick the right days for big water. A balanced boat is like surfing;)

You got it ,)

Is it a commander?

Thank you. We should at least have 50k ;) we pissed off YT during the covid times, almost got cancelled. That killed momentum

It was such a blessing to have that day to cross

Make some videos!!! Please. I love watching people's BLA's (Bucket-List Adventures)

@@yepiratesworkshop7997would enjoy following your adventures.

@@yepiratesworkshop7997 will do. been thinking about producing video of how I'm building it...

Coming up ;) thanks for coming along

Thank you for Watching them ;)

I will leave them on repeat 👍. Did you make it to Savannah yet? If you have time, stop on Ossabaw island. There is an abandoned mansion there, the Torrey West house.

@@ChrisC-gq5ni I see it coming up. I'll look that up. Getting fuel is a challenge along this part of the coast. And the tides and currents. Yikes!

Can help with that when you’re up to the Ogeechee. What’s the best way to reach you?

@@ChrisC-gq5ni bnetz95959@yahoo.com

Absolutely!

Fairhope? I bet you've seen the bay get rough.

Thank you. I trimmed out the copyrighted footage. It's up on the memberships section where it doesn't affect the channel. Do you plan on chronicling your build? I'd like to watch

Yes when I actually get around to doing it l'd like to film it for a RU-vid channel and do travel videos like you're doing. I've been following Steve Shier does stuff channel as he builds his 53' flat bottom boat called Dragonfly. I'll use a similar technique for my 36 footer.

Wha?! Spider? Not good. A vet visit does sound in order. Keep me posted please...

Two Benedril will help, won't hurt. Google the results. I have used it a few times for swelling on pets.

Around and around we go. Who knows what state we go. This week Florida. Last week, Georgia. Never quite sure what state you’re going to be in Brenton. They don’t seem to be going in order though. Nice video I’m taking bets on what state you’ll be in next week. just don’t want to see wavey in one state and you in another. that would be a puppy mutiny.

@lesliefleming4359 blahahahaha. It's easy to reconcile: The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat Series is in chronological order from Ep:1 starting up north. We just crossed Mobile Bay in Ep:31. If you also watch the back-up channel (Brenton's vLog Channel) then yes, we're roughly where we are in real time. If you belong to the Great Loop FB page, then that's probably closest to real time possible. I prefer Time out of Mind though;)

@@backwatersandbackroads lol. Gotcha Brenton. I don’t do Facebook because it terrifies me when everyone knows my business. I follow all your Vlogs on RU-vid.

Thank you. We need that right now. Windy. We have a decent place to anchor. Not great, but decent.

Glad to hear you’re safe. Don’t get it a hurry. Better slow boat than no boat.

@@justmike1529 you got it. Reminded myself today

Please do ;) Georgia was quite the challenge surprisingly.

@backwatersandbackroads I can imagine, I'm on the sc/ga border in Hilton Head and the tides and currents are insane!

Thanks for finding us. I hope you stick around;)

That's incredible;) someone needs to film that:)

@@backwatersandbackroads I have got a lot of footage, just not sure how to share it with you so you can put it on this channel.

They are a one of a kind bread aren't they ;) they think they're boss!

Thank you. I was jumping the gun on Florida

Remaining vacant those 10 years, most definitely increased tax payers property rates.

Wow! Cool!! ;)

That’s in just 2 days, that’s rather neat!

@@tolson5680 they must be moving right along.

Thanks for being here ;)

Thank you. I hear the C&D canal has some big barges

@@backwatersandbackroads RU-vidr, Tim B at Sea, pushes a huge fuel bunkering barge through there, he is one of many.

Making coffee on the hook this morning. Beagle looking at me "when we headed to shore?" Soon ;)

Still at Jekyll or up to darien?

@@scottanderson1761 Sapelo sounds

Man yall making good time on the intercoastal. You went by a bunch of my secret fishing holes fron st. Marie's to sea island.

Thanks for finding us. You might nor be top old quite yet :)

Are y'all up in Maine? Wavey and I are going to make a video series of every Maine lighthouse, this fall

@@backwatersandbackroads I'm trying to figure out how RU-vid works. I had replied to this before but apparently it didn't go. Anyway, if this is a duplication, please be patient! My husband Tom and I spent eleven summers in Bass Harbor, ME as postal contractors delivering mail by boat to an offshore island, Gotts Island. I chronicled our adventures in a blog. If you're interested in reading it, it might give you some personal insight before your lighthouse tour, into at least one area of Maine - Downeast and Acadia National Park. The first entry starts with an Intro & at the bottom is a prompt to take you to the next post. It's written like a book with chapters so you have to start at the beginning. Since Wordpress puts the most recent entry first, you have to sort of read it backwards. Maybe give you something to read on those lonely nights on the boat! We live in the middle of the Adirondacks in New York. Maine was our home away from home and we came to love it --we miss it and all the friends we made there over the years. Very interesting and complex culture outside of the tourist perspective, that we were privileged to experience, unlike most visitors. We're looking forward to watching your latest entry. downeastadventure.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/how-i-landed-in-lobsterland/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR07Vw3lR-DXQWUciUahRXxcmlNWzis4TNZPHAdjlq38DaHJOF2oTJHreUk_aem_AdPCEQcKCu_xhZZupB3vmU66dy4G-2h4IvGk2gcaiWgBcuW58rkMMiAm_Sg7QTU2Imq6X4pzzxnhVVLA2ur8xe8q

It's like a bathtub Greta ;) sliding across a pond. Could not have had a better day for the big water crossing. A lot more coming up...

Hi Greg! ;) rainy day here in coastal Georgia.

@backwatersandbackroads nice up here in oquawka, 65 and sunny till 😎 later , then maybe some rain 🌧

Upper 70s and lower 80s for the weekend though. To early for that up here

Really?! I bet that thing flys!

Cool! Email me a picture? bnetz95959@yahoo.com

It looks like an attol like you said. They build a dike around and pump sand and water into the center. The dike catches and allows the water to seep out slowly.

Thanks for being here Bruce ;) a lot more to come. The next video is more exciting I think...

Thank you. Yeah, I was jumping the gun there for a minute;)

Thank you ! I knew someone would know ;)

Thank you!

Thank you ;)

That would be today. It's dumping buckets!

@@backwatersandbackroads Awesome!!! Can’t wait to see this episode!!

Heart?

Brenton seems to be more chill-laxed and an introvert. I wouldn’t take any of his Looper decline invites to 🩵. He seems hyper-focus on Shanty boat logistics (weather patterns, tides and route).

The workhorse hasn't skipped a beat. Amazing motor ;)

We got a cover ;)

A little planning goes a long way apparently ;)

Eva and kitties;) Wavey has so many fans. It's gone to her head ;) We're going to explore the Oregon Coast next winter, then you can meet the brat in person ;)

@@backwatersandbackroads We’d all love to meet her. Our house is your house., Brenton and Wavey. You’d feel right at home…kinda like your shanty on blocks! :) HAH! Big hugs!!!!

I'd like to see that place. I found some good beer from there

Howdy. Thanks for sticking with us. The Shanty beagle was a 26 foot catamaran cruiser with deep fiberglass hulls (not toons) which made it more stable than a pontoon boat. The barge is definitely more stable and planted into the water. We've been finding its limits on this adventure, but so far we've had no troubles. If you could find a barge hull, that would be best.

Can you email me please? bnetz95959@yahoo.com

That helps! I never ask ;)

You only need 90 HP ;) lol

@@backwatersandbackroads you are funny man…

Thanks for being here. I jump in the water to stay clean, and we use a composting toilet

That's what I thought too

Not that I can tell. It's not loud either.

Very few. Along the Okeechobee. That's all we've seen! Surprising

Oh yes, solar absolutely works. It's made for boats and campers. We run 800 watts. We use lead acid batteries. Upgrading to lithium eventually. We made a solar video in the beagle barge beagle build series with a list of components in description

@@backwatersandbackroadsI thought that would be viable for this application. I'll have to look up your old video. Thanks again.

@@backwatersandbackroads Great to know! I thought you had made a video that included the solar system but couldn't remember.

That makes sense ;) I guess I'd know that if I was from that part of the world;) I'm sure it helped her throughout life. I doubt she ever needed a loan;)

OJ Simpson died today at the age of 76, cancer took his life.....

@@scable-eq7bp I saw that

Thank you. A "spoil island" I've learned

I jumped the gun. We did go to pirate's Cove. Coming up...;)

Thank you for finding us Phil. Welcome. Please stick around, lots more to come...

Hi Logan:)

Yeap yeap ;) got some footage. Dungeness Ruins, and the lighthouse.

I know now. I didn't know that then ;) Thank you

Hi Mary. I'll go take a look now....thank you ;)
