- Howdy! Fellow Loopers and adventurers. Nancy, Wavey, and I sat down and tried to answer some questions about traveling the Great Loop on a shanty boat. I hope it inspires the right kind of folks to make a dream like this happen--and with modest means. At the end of the day, very little of it is actually about the boat...

-Brenton, Nancy and Wavey
I am happy for you that you found someone to share your passion for exploring. You two seem to be a good fit. Both of you are "lucky". Godspeed.
Good to see you videoing again.
thanks for posting here and not mandating a donation. You are a great resource for the adventurer.
Brenton, great catch with Nancy! Looking forward to seeing you two adventure together.
We are all happy for you 2. Love the greatest emotion power in the universe. Get the water reverse osmosis and led bacterial cleaner. The diy on the composting toilet is the way to go and not to hard. Nice stuff cool content 😎 ❤
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
@jeremyhunts1981 sweet! Sounds like a good hack. ;) thanks eh
We love your channel 😀we are so happy for you , Nancy and wavey. You are so lucky to have each other. Your adventures together will be even more exciting. Take care. God bless you all.
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).
Me and my brother and family and friends are so blessed Your Q and A was really good , Peace 🍁
One of your best videos to date, lots of nuggets of info, thank you very much!
Very informative. This is the type of information a future looper can sink his teeth into and use for planning. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have it saved to my Great Loop Info Playlist. I will probably watch it 20 more times. 😁
Happy Floating and Safe Journey!
Thanks for answering all the questions. You both look very happy. Glad you found someone to share the adventures with. God bless.♥
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.
Days late and dollars short, but.. does Nancy have a youtube? If not, why not? The clips of her cooking and baking bring my mind back to my childhood monthly baking Saturdays. Also! Please give wavey plenty of boops for me ❤❤😊
Glad to hear you guys are getting back on the water, don't sell yourself short you make good video that people like to watch keep them coming.
I’m always so happy to see a new post from you guys! You are talented and can hold my attention as well as having well thought out content! Maybe this is why you get product offers. Can see your efforts growing!
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!
Great video! Glad for you you have found someone to join your life adventure! Will be fun to see your joint adventures. I truly hope you stay filming, really enjoy your content, delivery and belief system. Keep it up!!
Great video I think that was well done answering so many questions with what I felt was very good answers. I could fill a page with comments and ideas for boats and the rivers and low budget fun.
💖🤗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.
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
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!
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
@tomkellum6754 Thank you Tom ;) the fall colors are mostly over up here, but we still see some patches here and there.
I seldom watch anything more than 30 minutes so consider this a compliment I'm happy to hear that Mrs. will be on the continuation just keep us informed so we know when you star up again
Great Q&A vlog. Could listen to the stories for hours on end. Heartfelt thank you.
Good answers. Just do it, baby!
Thanks for sharing the videos on the loop, and I’m glad you found someone to share your passion. With it is a blessing a Big blessing. You asked a few questions on the loop, one was the reason for the long rope behind towing, the dinghy is to absorb the shock on the dinghy or the load. I worked offshore as a mechanic, and they would bring big barges, out there and that was the purpose of the long rope to prevent a shock load, and the other question was the green and red drum flooring for Markers they are called buoy markers. A couple of suggestions few more solar panels, two more batteries to operate and electric motor gas motor for back up (out board)
Ethanol is alcohol and it pulls moisture out of the air. It's the moisture that can cause corrosion and other issues
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
@lrharrisonjr thank you! There's a nice 20 footer here cheap.
How do I go to that link or email ??
Please tell me more about the cheap 20’ boat you mentioned.
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.
You're a good dude!! May you have many years of happiness!!
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and sharing your insight.truly appreciate it .
Looking forward to your up coming adventures .keep them coming.👍
Inspiring and informative video.
Thank you ! ;)
I think your videos are very high quality. Enjoy them very much. Sang in Colorado
Thank you for that positive feedback
That was a great Q & A video! Looking forward to your future adventures!
Bring on the adventures!
If you stop in Kansas City come say hi
Congratulations to both of you and thanks for short clip regarding Shanty Sanctuary! If you are in the area give me a heads up and plan to come by for lunch or dinner at my place.
I pray the Lord will grow your relationship with each other and with Him over the coming years. You have honored Him, so he will honor you!
May the Lord bless your marriage. TS
That was awesome. Thanks guys
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.
@@MackMoore-q2n Mack, we will be praying for you.
I really enjoyed this video!
I did like seeing the scriptures
That was great, very interesting and informative..
I'm so happy you and wavey found your person!! Can I asked how yall met Nancy?
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.
I wonder if you could find a sandy calm beach and purposely ground yourself aft-first then let the tide go out so you could do lower unit oil changes on dry land. Kind of like careening a sailing ship in the old days.
I hear Wavey snoring 😅😂❤
Two thumbs up!:)
I wish I knew when you were in Alton Illinois.....thats 10 miles from my house in Missouri.
Me too! ;)
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!
Hi Mark, thank you for the well wishes. Email is a good way to connect. bnetz95959@yahoo.com
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!
Fun and entertaining video with all the silly cut away shots.
My Shanty build isnt a poontoon at at its a cuddy cabin searay converted to Cdory style. but I/o.
Hello. I will keep it short. The boat is on water. Why do you have gutters? Enjoy the episodes. Please keep exploring. Thanks
@@ScottPartain I think the gutters were installed to reduce the roof overhang.
Hello Wavy from Winters Ca.
It's not a big deal being bored by the coast guard. When you were on a shiny boat you are definitely not two suspect. I brought some yachts and indefinitely get the ones over and get stopped because of what you're running.
You should do these types of videos periodically. Thanks for sharing.
How many fishing licenses did you need??I'm from michigan
Nimble Vagabond vs 20 or 24 pontoon shanty style boat for the full Great Loop? Which do you think is best and why?
Well...I'd say a Shanty boat. :) the Nimbles are cool boats, but pretty cramped down in there for a year. A Shanty cam do anything a Nimble (or 200k trawler) can do and go. Join our FB group? The Shallow Drafters Shanty Boat Club
Is that Wavy snoring? 😅
Hello do you still have your razor Camper and if so how well did you like it thank you Fred
@fredtoombs278 Hi Fred, I do still have the Razor. It gets the job done, but it's awful small. Someone with some basic building skills could build one better ans way cheaper. Mine was (is) in rough shape, so it was cheap thankfully
Thank you for replying!
I love watching your video and glad to see you have a lady in your adventures
how did you meet i cant find the link?
Would be nice to just have rain collection and good filter
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.
You look good Brenton. It would seem that married life might agree with you. I know it works for me.
Comment
Don't slow down on putting the Word of God on your channel. I really like it.
great video like always but please vote early, we need a better economy, close border and simply common sense
Hi
I guess the adventures are over and no more video's?
No no...working on videos now ;)
Put a 200 hp on it. Get up on plane and get somewhere when you want to
And burn through all the fuel in a couple hours?
@backwatersandbackroads sometimes it could be worth it. More efficient once on plane. Just know where the stumps are.
What happened to the video in North Carolina? On
By the way I’m from New Liberia louisiana they use those barge they are used for wireline barges in the bay.
I like Sharing the word also
As far as religion we need to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves is what you are trying to say. As a believer you are a servant is also what you were pointing at. You respect all who are learning same as yourself. Jesus did not come to die for the righteous. He died for the sinner Amen.
Fishing licenses,you need one for every state you travel through?
It depends on how law abiding you are ;)
Coast Guard Yes, PO PO No
In my experience in coastal waters, they are the same.
