--Brenton and Wavey
Watched the video Brenton really turned out good , family really liked it! See you soon!
You're awesome Harold!
That's a beautiful boat you've built Harold.
Great boat would just like to tell you that your a very talented man Sr.
Harold, great trawler you have there. Would like to find out more about your outboard/bracket setup. From the video I didn't see a keel, I assume you deleted it when you went with the outboard setup.
Harold, which glen L trawler plan did u use?
I wish there were more guys like Harold out there. What a great guy and what a great boat. I think it would take me 11 months to build a canoe. You and Harold should do more videos. This was very enjoyable.
One of the best interviews I've seen! You have done a great service to those of us in excess of 70 years young! Keep these interviews and stories coming.. Again, thanks!
Love to hear that! Thank you ;)
What a gorgeous boat. Neat guy. Imagine the sense of accomplishment. His advice was the best
Epic. What a cool guy and boat.
Very nice boat build, the builder owner reminds me of William Shatner.
I told him that too! Could be his brother;)
Now that's a salt of the earth Yooper right there! Great editing on this interview too, Brenton. These keep getting more cinematic-like!
Great interview... he did an incredible job building that boat. Thanks for sharing.
Great interview Brenton! Awesome boat with a great story.
I had to watch it again. What a nice guy and such acool boat! I'd love to drink beer and talk boats with Harold. Back to the NOMAD, now!
It would take most people 12 years trust me, and many would never finish. But I love it.
Harold is one of those old timers you learn from every story he tells. Huge inspiration. Really cool video man. Be safe!
One of the best most interesting posts you've ever done Brenton! 👍
Absolutely.
Very cool old guy living life on his terms
I love traveling alone. But I am not lonely, I meet so many people. And if you don’t have the time to build a boat there are plenty of older small boats you can modify to do this. I have had many. Thanks for the videos guys.
You got it ;)
What a wonderfully charming fellow!! Thanks.PS it's a shame that Wavey has such a hard time warming up to people, LMAO! She plunked right down on his leg and it was adorable for sure.
Wavsy has never met a lap she doesn't want to crawl up in and call asleep Lisa ;)
I love the way she helped herself to her own treat 😂 - how can you say NO to that lil face ❤
Awesome boat
Interesting guy
Excellent video
I'd say you nailed this one, Brenton!
Great job Brenton! I really enjoyed this interview! What a great story and lots of good advice from this Fine Capt. Harold! Has a great philosophy. Thanks for some good ideas for my own helm seat project. The thinking and “building” from the chair is so true!! Wavey is our proof he is a fine human.
Keep the videos coming!
Looking forward to the rest of the Nomad build out! I saw the boat in P-town before you picked it up. Great bones but a lot to do!
Anway! This video is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars!
What a great interview/hang out Brenton. Harold is a freaking BOSS! Really enjoyed him and he sure is an inspiration to all of us. That jump from the boat to the dock... holy crap,I'm 57 and not sure if I could've done that. I think we can all take a lesson from Harold as in just keep moving. Even his steering technique is a fantastic workout. Wavey loves him for sure once again showing her good taste in people. Such a good episode,thanks for sharing it with us!
I retired at 58 took off to west coast bought a sailboat did inside passage to Alaska then to Hawaii French Polynesia Fiji then back down threw South Pacific Islands to Easter island and Ecuador, Columbia Panama, and back to Hawaii and back to Vancouver Island spent 6 yrs now back in Ontario just bought a 34 ft trawler going to do great loop , all with my wee dog Maddie like the song says don’t let the old man in at age 65 I’m just getting started cheers love your videos
@@Maddie-Girl that is fantastic!!
Harold you are an inspiration !!! Great boat you have built !!! Brenton that you for the video , always a great job your doing thank you . 😊
Great interview. Great example of that generation!
Great interview. That is an awesome boat. It is hard to believe that it in homemade. I think I could live on tht boat.
I love this AMERICAN. He is a real winner.
Yes he is ;)
That’s the definition of a happy man right there.
hello from the warm sunny Ozarks Brenton! another video of value! awesome boat, ideas, encouragement and very humble attiude! thanks for sharing! Tight Lines!
Thanks for the interview
Being a boater myself the info is very helpful
And no not interested in mega yacht’s lol
What a great interview my friend and another truly epic interview both the man and his boat.
I've watched this video a few times and there's an almost unbelievable amount of space in a 28' x 8'6" boat! A couple could take long journeys on this boat with room for supplies and so on. Great work by the builder.
It really is a cool boat;) he did a great job
Great edit, enjoyed every minute.
Cool guy and a nice boat
Man I would love to have his truck, love the boat.
Thanks!
Thank you for the Wavey Treats;)
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
sweet video ! a super awesome build ! Thanks for sharing this too !
Wonderful visit. Thanks for letting us tag along. 😊
Awesome boat, beautifully executed build
Cool guy! Very creative and skilled builder. 😎That’s a really nice boat he built.
Awesome 😎
A wonderful video and interview. Mr. Harold seems to be a great guy and obviously a talented and wise gentleman. His craft is an interesting and well thought out craft. I also love how Wavy is a true ambassador for humanity…… boy, can humans learn from her!
Thanks again Brenton for all your work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You and wavy bring out the best in people when you do an interview. Thoroughly delightful❤
Thank you. Wavey is Nosy! She wants to find someone else to interview soon ;)
What a interesting man. I love to be around people like him. The boat was a work of art and ingenuity. The entire thing was so comfortable with all of the necessities. The interview was a pleasure to watch. Loved the boat. Safe travels.
What a great boat .
Love the boat and the truck. It's amazing he built that in 11 months, that's a lot of work unless your name is Moses.
Building a boat from scratch in less than a year is amazing isn't it
thank you for introducing us to Harold......
Absolutely;)
Brenton life has been good to me..I would not change a thing..fought hard ups and downs..somehow always managed to keep a boat..lol..:)few things have helped out the last few years…I am so thankful!!! Thank you God..thank you…i sometimes don’t even know how I got here man..cause I am all over the place.::LOL..
I pretty much put everything on the table and lost pretty much everything..but I am so happy I have my daughter..just need to hold on a little longer here cause prices here are stupid stupid stupid…need to get back to where I belong man
And I am lucky that I have her…trust me..moms don’t leave their kids…I knew in my heart someday my daughter would rebel from her mom..she is like tyranny..my ex.. dude you don’t need to hear all this BS
Awesome sauce!!! Goodonyas!
Nice build
I truly enjoyed this video. Your were fight, Harold is an inspiration!
Great story, great questions!
Very cool video, beautiful boat......
What a great interview. True about not waiting for other people to go on adventures with. Most of my flying adventures have been solo trips. Looking at Harold's attitude makes me think I should make more effort and go again.
I enjoyed the time you spent with him. It was inspirational 🦜
Fantastic video! If only we could be as free and creative as he is. Very cool boat as well!!
He's a gifted builder for sure;)
What an inspiration!
Really great video and 'interview.' I"m 68 that slightly older guy has it going all right. The biggest lesson, though, is get yourself shaped up to be able to do this as early as possible in your "retired" life. Try to have a 'trade' or two that you can use to put extra coins in your 'cruisin' kitty,' and get out there as soon as you're comfortable with your pension, social security, etc. You want to work enough so that one day you realize you get paid just for waking up and breathing. Then just get out there and do it and please share your adventures with us out here!
Absolutely. I'm trying to tell people, retirement is canceled;)
Damn I loved this!
Wow! Impressive man.
Inspirational.
ideal boat , the 100 dollar parts grab was great , I spent hundreds on bolts and screws last year
Probably the best you tube video ever right here!!!!
Harald is a cool fella ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads LOL..pretty sure you are too!!!
@@backwatersandbackroads but to build your own boat from the bottom up…J don’t care if he had plans…amazing
@@erikyoutube5692 he's a talented builder
Great content…Thanks
Thank you sir. Glad you're still watching;)
great interview and explanations!
Im building a micro trawler now and yes i concur on the endless thinking.
Ahoy there, Brother Backwater Brenton!
My binge-watchin' voyage has led me to this escapade, you and Wavey, that delightful beagle, in them Nosy Beagle Interviews-what a rivetin' tale it was! Trackin' down Ol' Capt. Harold Petersen and his hand-built trawler, "The Tooty Boat," a yarn that'd make ol' Tom Sawyer envious, I reckon.
I'm mighty intrigued - can Harold truly void the hoosegow when steerin' that handcrafted wheel with his very own feet while under the influence? And that there "Beer Drinkin' Camera! GENIUS! A backup camera alertin' him of the followin' floating fuzz, well, now, that's a feat of managin' maritime mischief worth a tale or two!
And if I may jest a tad, could there be an investigatin' voyage in the offin'? An experiment to gauge the real impact of captaining a trawler under the sway of spirits at a gentle five-mile clip? A touch of backwater scientific investigatin', perchance? "How much damage could ya do goin' seven/eight miles an hour?" Golly! I'm mighty curious to know.
Your way of unveilin' the humanity and ingenuity of the Shanty Boat community is a sight to behold. Revealin' the soul of these folks, their creativity floatin' atop the waters of authenticity-it's a picture that sticks to the mind like molasses to a spoon. And that quip, "I'd take the boat over the wife"-might just explain your chronic bachelorhood, or so the Mississippi whispers.
Allow me to toss a few queries into the cauldron of conversation: Brenton, what inspirations did ya glean from Harold's boat design that shaped your later builds? And pray tell me more 'bout these 'Rebel Ports', are they sanctuaries servin' senior sailing scofflaws skirtin' the Sherriff like you and ol' Capt. Harold? A tale that's got me more curious than a catfish in a kitchen.
Here's to more tales from the Nosy Beagle Interviews, where the currents of wisdom run deep, and the winds of adventure carry us far! I'm slowly but surly catchin' up to your real-time vlogs, becomin' more beholden with each binged episode.
That's a nice boat 🚢
That is great !!!
I would get in big trouble hanging out with Harold..lol..
Where y'all tied up on the big iron was a dock and a charter boat named the " Mary-El" I grew up in silver City and white pine in the 80s
Good video
So Kool
I steer with my feet too...when I'm out....using my hands for other things. Having the feet/leg rest would help me...might need to figure a way for my boat
A bridge anchor ...that's genius
I know right? ;)
I ❤ him
Thanks for posting. Superb. Did he mention the beam?
8.6 beam
Yeah man!!! I live for Rebel ports..I can be so so social but I hate seeing people..lol
Nice
Great video. Love the Coastal Cruiser! It would be interesting to have some additional dimensions, such as interior beam and headroom in the pilothouse and cabin. Headroom looks super-abundant but the camera can be deceiving. Also curious as to why the builder raised the cockpit so high (necessary if a sterndrive was installed), with all the up and down that entails, when using outboard power that didn't necessitate such a high cockpit. Cheers!
I'll alert Harold to this comment ans see if he'll reply.
Thanks. Again, just curious. Would like to build this boat in the future. @@backwatersandbackroads
On a video you mentioned a Video by Marktwained.
He is actually a USCG Registered Boat Captain he has been doing that for I think 40 years.
He knows exactly what and when to do it. He also trains First Mates to move up to Captain.
Riverboat Capt jobs pay very very very high wages. His first name is Kyle.
I subscribed to his channel. He definitely fits a niche here on YT. Love real people taking the time to make videos
I had a Cabin Cruiser that had a hot water heater that worked like that..
@mydixiewrecked2probably just run a line from the motor to the heater tank to a loop or coil inside then exits the boat. The water in the tank is potable (fresh).
get good at what makes you happy....
Now I have a question... Is Wavey your dog? ...or Harold's dog? She's so darn spoiled. lol Cheers to Harold!
She's my burden in life;) she needs treats! Lol
When he’s sitting there doing nothing… I called that engineering time. Some projects have what I call Stare Time. You have to just look at it long enough, and you will figure out the solution.
The Lost art of thinking things through before doing them;)
sitting here laughing about the coffee cans of screws....
As Johnny Cash said “I got it one piece at a time “
Your videos rock!
I am a trawler guy. I have a 19 79,43 Albin trawler.
But I grew up on the Mississippi river, and I’ve always loved Jon boats flat, bottom boats to get in the shallow places (Actually, we only had a canoe. My parents could not afford a motor for a John Boat lol.)
Weird question would you rather use a boat like this to go down the Mississippi river or your shanty boat (I know you built the shanty boat but the boat that you have is also built bad but guy in Grand Rapids I believe…both very cool)
Sorry, I didn’t mean to say built bad! I was using voice text, and I meant to say homemade.. your boat the vagabond is not built bad. It’s a freaking amazing boat. I love that boat.!
Hi Erik, you're asking about the beagle barge and the Vagabond? They both have their pros and cons. The Vagabond is great for aomw stuff, while the barge is greta for others. I've finally settled on 3 boats (the other being a fishing boat) I think a boat person can definitely justify having at least 2 or 3 boats to do different stuff. The barge is comfortable, for long trips like the loop. That's what I love most about it. We slipped up to a beach tonight that was around 1 foot deep. Just slide up on the sand. I walked it out when we left to 3 feet, jump inside and go. That's hard to beat ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads love it so much man!
This guy is cool
Beer is the best man! My last name is Bjork (I noticed you said his last name was an “en”). Must be some cool Norwegian, Swedish and Danish kids up your way !!!
Have fun with your boat tonight I wish I was somewhere warm enough to have my boat in the water. That’s awesome man. Awesome awesome hopefully it’s Florida or somewhere where it’s at least 70. And three boats is not too many boats, very justifiable for a boat person
@@erikyoutube5692 Bjork as in the Icelandic singer?
@@backwatersandbackroads Yep…gotta love her swan dress
Glen-l coastal cruiser!
That's it ;)
Great Content... I am 69 and looking to do similar....
So what happens if someone comes ripping up that river in a power boat an hits that anchor line lol.
People don't come ripping in the Big Iron.
👍
was the boat strapped down,?
I think so
Id call him Captain...
If you want to have the conversation about media influence, life, and the freedom found in simplicity I’m your guy. It’s hard to find honest open conversation these days.
I’m and old psychology professor.
Dave
Btw, I texted you today
What is the hull shape?
I'm not exactly sure. Maybe Harold will see this comment and answer. A V of some sort
Looks like William Shatner.
I think so too ;)
I didn't see where his marine head was...
I'd have to go back and watch again, but I know he included one somewhere on board.
It looks like it might be the porti-potti beneath the sink in the port forecabin area. @@backwatersandbackroads
I suppose he ordered those opening windows from China
Hi
Hi Logan,)
@@backwatersandbackroadsI hope you have a good and safe day My friend
