Q&A: The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "You're doing the loop on that?!" | Time out of Mind

That was a great Q & A video! Looking forward to your future adventures!

Fun and entertaining video with all the silly cut away shots.

Hello Wavy from Winters Ca.

Great Q&A vlog. Could listen to the stories for hours on end. Heartfelt thank you.

Bring on the adventures!

I hear Wavey snoring 😅😂❤

I want to thank you for answering my tough questions! You definitely weren’t obligated to… I too enjoy our back and forth even though we probably agree on very little. Good job Brenton I salute you!

I really enjoyed this video!

What happened to the video in North Carolina? On

I really enjoy all the videos. I've been a sailor all my life. I grew up on sailboats crewing for my Dad and older brothers. I crewed on several large racing yachts and became an A.S.A. Certified Instructor. I've owned several sailboats. The last one I owned was an Olson 30. I've always wanted to transit the rivers from my home in Chicago to the Gulf Coast. My eldest brother crewed on a large sailboat owned by a doctor in Chicago and made the trip from Chicago to Florida. Being a sailor one might think shanty boats would not be of interest to me, but interested I am. Sailboats aren't the perfect vessels for river trips like the loop. My Olson 30 drew 5' 2" so anchoring like the Beagle Barge is quite enviable from that standpoint as well as bridge clearance which is not even possible due to fixed bridges. So, the shanty boat is the perfect vessel for river cruising. At 73, old bones and time have caught up to me, and barring some devine intervention, my seafaring days may be all in the past now. Watching your adventures has allowed me to enjoy your Great Loop endeavors vicariously. Thanks so much for putting these out. So very cool.

how did you meet i cant find the link?

Everybody has different ideas about what they can or cannot live without but I’m like you we can all do with less burdens. I have thought about shower and since my old days of working on boats and in the Coast Guard I too this day take Navy showers it saves water, power and on a cold day it can be very invigorating. But by adding a solar bag and using river water and a small pump it’s quite adequate. Some folks just like to have all the latest gadgets and equipment and then you end up you might as well stay home with your burdens
Great episode looking forward for more.
Oh got my shirt last week it’s great perfect logo. Now you need to publish your latest music sound track to get us motivated.
Y’all have a great week say a little prayer for me I have to start a 44 day round of radiation treatments for prostrate cancer all the more reason to pick up the pace on my build.

The coast guard of today is less looking for safety and more looking for a bust. The war on drugs has ruined their reputation. Sadly SAR has taken a back seat to bs glory.

That was great, very interesting and informative..

great video like always but please vote early, we need a better economy, close border and simply common sense

Very informative. This is the type of information a future looper can sink his teeth into and use for planning. Thank you.

That was awesome. Thanks guys

💖🤗So happy for you both🤗💖
Looking forward to new adventures. 🐐🐬🐕😊

I stayed for all of the boring stuff. I'm so happy for you and Nancy, and your Yamaha. Nancy seems to like Yamahas too. That's a plus. lol Cant wait for the next adventure.

Thank you Brenton, Nancy and Wavey! As you know from my e-mails to you I have many questions. You covered many of them here. I'm happy for you finding someone to share your adventures with. The Shanty Beagle is such an awesome boat perfect for the loop. Fair winds and following seas!

You look good Brenton. It would seem that married life might agree with you. I know it works for me.

Glad you guys are happy and it looks like the little one is much more happy. My little beagle (Trixy) is friendlier with women than men.

Heart felt video sir. Best yet. And my wife wants to know a the girly stuff on how yall met. P.s I'm very happy God found you a life partner. We have been married 31 years. Wouldn't trade it for nuttin. Even the hard times

You have too many boats??!!

BLASPHEMY!!

Great video. Lots of good information.

And 'Welcome' to Nancy!
It's such a game changer to not only have someone to share your life and adventures with, but someone who's as passionate as you are about doing them.

Ethanol is alcohol and it pulls moisture out of the air. It's the moisture that can cause corrosion and other issues

Put a 200 hp on it. Get up on plane and get somewhere when you want to

I did like seeing the scriptures

A most genuine Q & A I have watched. Great information with an overall message to simply go out and do the trip or adventure.

I never anticipated my having to give thought to how to navigate the use of my family's aluminum cuddy cruiser into saltwater. You have recharged the truth of the matter, that to travel by any means or methods requires one to be aware of their surroundings and by boat, weather is a key factor to learn about and respect. A Rag-boater likes the wind, A Stink-Potter prefer the calm seas, but Captains as a whole are wise to heed all the signs and signals, and to never piss off the cook. I suppose I'll be mining for Zincs!

A great duo here with the two of you. I'm sure Wavey is working all the angles of your treat giving weaknesses. The More the Merrier (I had no idea this is a movie - 1943).

Good answers. Just do it, baby!

Hi Brenton & Nancy & Wavy, we are very happy for you and hope to find or build a shanty boat too! If you see another deal maybe you can let us know we will drive or fly anywhere to get started living the life y’all are . Your videos inspired us and showed us what can be possible. Take care, Larry & Alma Harrison

No cell service...........who cares..........now I have Nancy to go along with my Bible! Praise the "Ancient of Ages" who brought you both together and thru whose Grace you travel safely under His Watchcare!

Thanks for answering all the questions. You both look very happy. Glad you found someone to share the adventures with. God bless.♥

Don't slow down on putting the Word of God on your channel. I really like it.

I'm so happy you and wavey found your person!! Can I asked how yall met Nancy?

I still think you’re making a mistake starting in fall from NC. You’ll be dragging the boat along the ice by the time you get to the Erie Canal, and even the Hudson freezes over occasionally. Invest in an A/C and start in the Spring, you’ll be headed out of the heat as it warms up. I spent every summer of my youth on the Chesapeake, and while it definitely got warm it never got Florida or Carolinas warm. Also, the shower is a really good plan vs. swimming, especially in the bay. You will learn what Sea Nettles are, O yes, Precious, you will learn.

Hello. I will keep it short. The boat is on water. Why do you have gutters? Enjoy the episodes. Please keep exploring. Thanks

I am Happy for you Both and plus all your animals. You invoke the pioneer spirit. Following the steps of the prince of peace will bring you peace and happiness, clearly evident here. I will head up to Michigan next week for some cool air and take in the foliage change along my route.
Take care, Tom

Hello do you still have your razor Camper and if so how well did you like it thank you Fred

Two thumbs up!:)

One of your best videos to date, lots of nuggets of info, thank you very much!

Brenton, great catch with Nancy! Looking forward to seeing you two adventure together.

I wish I knew when you were in Alton Illinois.....thats 10 miles from my house in Missouri.

I think your videos are very high quality. Enjoy them very much. Sang in Colorado

Shower hack. Portable dog bath tub for shower pan/bottom. Shower curtain for walls. Amazon 1 gallon pump garden sprayer with shower head. Heat water on stove And it all packs away in a 5 gallon bucket. Works great for cold weather

I guess the adventures are over and no more video's?

Inspiring and informative video.

Very nice videos and glad you found a partner to share life's adventure's with. What would be the best way to ask you questions about
"Shanty Boat" living and travel? Thanks and have a great holiday season!

Fishing licenses,you need one for every state you travel through?
