Ep:52 Part-2 The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "When Time Returns to Mind..."| Time out of Mind

So I'm going to try to be cool and not give you the whole "WHY STOP" but I'm not going to, To thin own self be true! but I have been hanging on every word you say .Becuse I want to do the loop so bad on a shanty boat!! I'll be watching for what's next!! but like my dad said before I got married You tired of being Happy? lol he was right!!

Thank you so much for taking us on this adventure.
Can't wait to see the rest of the trip in the future
Congratulations on the nuptials!

That was fun, thank you and be safe.

Thanks again for bring us along on the Loop! The series and the adventure flew by. Many prayers to all those along the route whose lives have been affected by the hurricanes. So sad to see so many familiar places destroyed.

Great video for now and enjoy your time off from living the good life

Brenton. Thank you. I really enjoyed your trip. I just gave away my Catalina 30 sailboat after 27 years on Lake Erie
I travel the UP twice a year but never as far as Ontonagon it a long way from Marquette. When I lived in Grand Rapids in the 70s. We had the Friday song by Jonathan Edwards’s Shanty song. Gonna lay around the Shanty
And get a good buzz on. I’m sure I’ll see much more on you tube.

Brenton, I’m really glad Don sent me to visit your channel. I have learned so much from your travels and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next! Thank you again for sharing this adventure with us. Congratulations to you and your wife. Wishing you many happy years and adventures together!

Thanks for the trip so far. Its been very good job.Looking forward to the rest.!!!

Oriental is a quaint fishing and sailing town but it is in the "middle of nowhere" and has already been "discovered". In addition, there is one small grocery store and not many places to eat. To do any significant shopping, you would need to drive 40 minutes to New Bern. By the way, when you exited Adams creek and started your crossing to Oriental, you were in the Neuse River near where it meets the Pamlico Sound. It is very wide in that location and can get quite rough when the wind is blowing. The width of the river is one of the reasons Oriental is a popular sailing town as the river is still relatively sheltered compared to the Pamlico Sound or Ocean.

Well, you are quite the Secret Keeper, eh. 🤠 Congratulation to you both, I mean three.

👍

Thank you so much for the ride. It has been great. I have been with you from EP. 1 to 52. God Bless you and yours. Hope to see you again soon. CP

Congratulations on your marriage.

Hell ye.

Congratulations!!

Congrats on your Marriage! I was beginning to Wonder about a man with No wife No kids your Age LOL maybe now you will put running water and a sink in your boat and maybe a a/c for the NC Heat you cant take !! Me I can Take the HEAT much better than The COLD>

I enjoyed the trip on the great loop. I was hoping to see you go full circle. I never thought a barge would have made it that far. However living in the high dessert mountain west ski / fishing boats and white water boats is all you see.
Maybe someday with the wife maybe a different style boat you can do the full loop.
Now I want to do the great loop.

Most Excellent! The Beagle Tours are such an added enjoyment! Carry on!

Congratulations, buddy.

Median home cost in Oriental, NC is $510,000

Congratulations on your marriage! I cannot believe you drove that scooter all the way up there! How on earth did you find roads that would enable you to go so slow!

On average, how far do you and Wavey go on Beagle Tours? I recognized some of the landmarks when you were in Beaufort, SC and that was quite a hike!

You sneaky, sneaky white boy! 😂 congratulations you too.🎉 always remember a three strand cord is hard to break. U2 with God in the middle. Have A Blessed Life! See you guys in your next episode!

Congratulations to you and Nancy. She must be a special woman.

Thanks for now, and have a blessed life. Both you and your dog. I live outside a small town, with one other small town a few miles to the south, and another small town a few miles to the north. Visit all three on a regular basis, as the stores differs from town to town. Anyway. Hope to see you again next year.

Peace and joy, my friend. Congrats on the marriage! Your videos are like mediation for me... I found your channel while researching LOOP content and have really enjoyed the journey so far. Not sure how I'll survive the next YEAR without you and Wavy on the water. I am located near the Connecticut shoreline near New Haven. Best of luck moving forward. Dave

Thanks!

Because of you and wavy now I'm lookin to build a shanty boat...told my wife if its s the last house i build ,it'll be a shanty house...thanks for the inspiration ...

Epic adventure! Thank you for taking us along. So happy to see you and Nancy found each other.
Good Lord willing and the river don't rise, we'll see you soon on the next adventure.
Ha - "Oriental Farmers Market" would be so offensive to some people without context.

Will be like loosing a friend ...shame you guys didn't make it to Richmond ....😢. I know there will be more to come ..happy trails to you and your growing crew. ❤

Brenton … congratulations on getting married … look forward to seeing you and Nancy on the water.

Love the video! Congrats! Hope you and your wife begin a wonderful life together!

I'm amazed they haven't forced them to change the name of that town to "Asian" NC. Sorry I couldn't resist. So you casually headed home in May and got hitched along the way? I cannot wait for that whole story. That is very surprising but in a good way, of course.

Your a lucky Man, looking forward to your return soon???.

Thanks for your work...almost got sea sick there for a minute...happy trails!!!...

well done appreciate you taking us along

I really don’t get it not being disrespectful in any way. I am confused if I am right you left Florida and hauled your boat home because it was hot and then showed back up saying it felt like spring.What are you doing now ? I don’t understand are you not going to finish the loop ?Again I’m not being disrespectful I love your channel I am just what is going on.

My best motorcycle and ferry experience with taking the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI.

I'm going to miss Wavey in action! Fair winds & calm seas, Captain!

That's fall 2024/winter 2025, correct? Hi to Nancy! Congratulations on finding and committing to each other. 🎉

So very Happy for you & Nancy ❤
I missed you by 8 days !! Left Bayboro NC on 4/29 back to Bradenton FL 😆
Shoot!! Anyways yes oriental is the sweetest lil’ waterfront village 🥰😎 home prices not as much as you think ( unless on water)
Average median home price is $120,000 ~ anyways go enjoy the beautiful fall weather in the
U-P 🍁🍁🍁
And your new wife:))))
I will be watching for your videos 🥳🥳🙌🏻💯🎉🎉🎉

holy crap 1300 miles on a $500 scooter with a dog is quite a journey! :o

Awesome series. Regretfully could not add wise input to thye chats. Keep on back roading!!

U need a rain bag so the sleeping bag won’t get wet. Also, please do a video on how you and Nancy met, I am sure all your viewers would love to know. Thanks and Congratulations

So, you've been through Hoboken NC! I'm sure you'll never be the same! Just came down the ditch from Hampton to Charleston.

That's Gallant channel menhaden factory. I spent the night in Beaufort a few days ago. I grew up on the water between New Bern and Cape Lookout!

There's a 24 hour dock in town.
