  • Howdy fellow adventurers, in this episode Wavey and I take you on a little circle tour of Kings Bay (Crystsl River) by boat to charge the battery bank back up. After that we launch the kayak and paddle up toward Three Sisters Springs to see the manatee up close. They really are interesting creatures. Thanks for coming along.

    Minni eats a brand called Victor. She's been eating it since she was weened. It's a higher quality brand, but what I like best is she utilizes the nutrients so well that she has small poops. Also it seems to keep her weight balanced.

    Man survives pandemic selling solar panels….. batteries dead on his boat. Hahahaha. Good friend has big boarding and grooming kennel and I worked for a mixed practice veterinarian group . I wrangled the big critters .
    They both used high end foods for it was more protein vs filler ( corn , cellulose etc ) Fed less amount and less end result as the filler isn’t digestible.
    Many people swear by raw food for dog diets by that’s a hassle in itself also . Hope it helps. Prices going up don’t help for sure.

    • @backwatersandbackroads
      @backwatersandbackroads  ปีที่แล้ว

      I know right...the panels I sell are way too big for this, but I'll find something. I think the boat has a drain somewhere, the batteries die quicker than they should. Brand new too

    Great episode, Yet another once in a life adventure. Manatee...
    Also the key, I would forget about the key to pull start everytime 🤣. It's a great fall back, my merc 25 HP has pull start on the houseboat. 👍. Sailboat depth, mine, 5ft. So I need the dinghy to ⛱️, But some have swing keels that pull up so you can beach the boat. Great video bud

    Careful when the Sea Cows break wind Brenton! I hear its the leading cause of greenhouse emissions! I guess I didn't realize how big a manatee could get! No comment on dog food! There are some really "passionate" people out there when it comes to dog food! The catfish and eggs looked yummy! Just needed some toast! 😉

    • @backwatersandbackroads
      @backwatersandbackroads  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think Bill Gates sunk 14 million into methane canisters for manatee farts...thank goodness! I agree on the toast. I already eat too many sweets and carbs...hence all the walking ;)

    We used to stay on Sunshine and the manatees would come next to the boat. We feed him lettuce and give him her fresh water they can drink about 50 gallons,would put the hose right in its mouth for about 15 minutes. Your making me jealous would love to be there but my wife doesn't care for it long term. I keep watching!

      That reminds me of Rush of course;) I've had a few ideas based on Freewill, but its complicated by a more evolved belief in freewill having to do as a gift from God. I'll work on it on this trip to Tennessee. Stay tuned! ;)
