Howdy fellow adventurers, are you subscribed to the channel? If not, please consider doing so. We're 30'ish subs away from 5k! That's nothing in YT world, but means something to the beagle. ;) Thanks!
Full tour please! I am really liking the lighthouse tours! Looking forward to the Devil's Island tour! Might be kind of difficult to be a tour guide yourself if you are afraid of heights! 😉
This is true Goldie. I won't be washing the windows up there;) the black flies were murder over on Devil's island. Not sure why they like it on that island more than others (maybe it's the Devil?) I'll head back up there this fall when the colors are popping and bugs are gone. Keep those awesome build videos coming please.
I’m really enjoying seeing these different places and lighthouses. Wish this video was longer. Those black flies at the end look miserable! I couldn’t deal with that.
These lighthouses are special Todd. I use to move around the islands and think nothing about them really, but now I love them. Getting old. I'll be bird watching soon,) lol
Did you ask the caretaker were she stayed on the island ?, The caves were nice and lightning at the end, yes to full tour, and next I have to watch the last one, thanks for the videos, soon u may not fear heights, nah
Good video Brenton. Wavey is into as well until the black flies. They are bad here right now too. They make mosquitoes look tame at times. Hang in there friend. Safe travels!!
@@RutherfordTony thanks Tony. If you get contacted by someone badmouthing me, I'd appreciate you sending me the email...I'm putting together a no contact order against someone. And thank you for your friendship.
Are the black flies the reason the island has been named Devil's Island? They look awful mean. Poor Wavey does not like them biting her. Thanks for suffering the attack to share this video with us. You both are troopers. ♡
I was thinking the same thing. They called it devil's island because of the black flies. I plan on returning in the fall for a capstone video to properly wrap up all the Apostle Islands lighthouses.
Very nice,I really enjoy these adventures Brenton. Would love to have a little Dory type vessel someday as I'm more at home on the water than most. The ICW isn't far from here in NE NC,someday hope to really take the adventure to another level.
Does Laura live on the island or commute back and forth? Loving the lighthouse videos. You are killing Scotty...he wants to get a small boat so bad to do this exact same thing 😀
Hi guys! :) good question, I THINK she commutes via a kayak (I saw one on the beach) she might stay in the lighthouse quarters while she's there? I didn't see a room she was staying in, but I didn't see the entire interior either. If y'all get a boat, let me know...I'll give you a few pointers to consider. Some boats hold value (even gain value) while others can't be given away...and anything on between. Love your videos too. I watch almost all of them. I should start saying hello over there ;) stay out of those ghost town jails! Lol. Wish I had an adventure partner...y'all are so lucky. Oh...and I'm in Nashville at the moment. It's hot!
Voting for extra footage vlog for Sand Island. Would you consider going back to Devil’s Island lighthouse for a tour after black fly season ends? All those flies reminded me of the insect clouds on lake Victoria; had to breathe through a bandana to keep from inhaling them.
@@backwatersandbackroads I don’t blame you one bit Brenton, that mass of black flies alone could have given Devil’s Island its name; if I were to see that I’d have never cut the motor and doubled back asap. You and Wavey fared better than I would have for sure to get the footage you got. Makes me wonder what the keepers did during black fly season; probably an ideal time to catch a breeze and work on their sailing skills during the day - idealistic I know because I doubt they had the time to spare.
I always have called those fish flies. They look like a normal house fly but bite like a horse fly. Hate them little buggers. Our black flies are about 1/10 of that size.
@@backwatersandbackroads I've heard you mention that book a few times...noting that it was your favorite. I didn't know anything about it until you talked about it, though. I'll take a look at it sometime. What is Annie Proulx's background and has she written anything else?

It's amazing how well maintained they keep these bldgs.
The lake weather gods are truly smiling on you this trip my friend
It was almost scary Dave!
Beautiful Lighthouses, but the one in Sand Island, my favorite.
WE love it ALL! The trail was great getting there! Bring it on!
Thanks Sarg ;) unedited video over on the other channel for you
Thanks again for the videos! The Apostles look amazing. Say hi to Wavey!
And I vote to see the tour!
You got it buddy. Over on the vlog channel for you. Unedited. Hi Jim! --Wavey
Nice! Thank you! Great video series!
Absolutely man ;) thanks for sticking around
Those are really nice spots! Yes, please more lighthouse material!
Posted over on the vLog channel for you. Unedited.

I bet that tour guide has so many cool stories to tell about that place. Great video as always man. Be safe!!
Thanks Jason...I'm blessed to have a group of like minded folks who enjoy this stuff with me. You're one of them ;)
Yes to the extra footage. I enjoyed the Raspberry lighthouse extra as well.
Excellent! Thank you. Just posted unedited video today.
Great video as always. Looks like beautiful area to travel. Thanks for what you and Wavy do. 👍
Glad your here Sarg ;)
That's some cool video , Love all the Lighthouse .That would be a good job to have .

Awesome video, it looks like you had a lot of fun adventures on this trip!
Hi MK! :)
Great episode
Thanks Bart ;)

I didn't Z. I should have. I THINK it was off island. I saw a kayak on the beach. She was a sweet mellow lady. I liked her a lot.
Good video Brenton. Wavey is into as well until the black flies. They are bad here right now too. They make mosquitoes look tame at times. Hang in there friend. Safe travels!!
Poor Wavey was crying in pain :( we had to run away ! Will return in the fall to complete the series properly ;) thanks for sticking around Tony
I'm for you Brenton. Only want what's best for you and Wavey. You got my loyalty.
@@RutherfordTony thanks Tony. If you get contacted by someone badmouthing me, I'd appreciate you sending me the email...I'm putting together a no contact order against someone. And thank you for your friendship.
Show the video Brenton. This was a nice video of the lighthouse.
Yeap! Posted over on the back up channel John ;)

You lucked out on that one, was there about 8 years ago but not guided tour, happy exploring!
Where you been man? I need your # again.
Yes
You got it buddy. On the back up channel;)
Very nice,I really enjoy these adventures Brenton. Would love to have a little Dory type vessel someday as I'm more at home on the water than most. The ICW isn't far from here in NE NC,someday hope to really take the adventure to another level.
The cdory 16 is a good little basic adventure machine. Very handy and economical. A cdory 22 would probably be better, but the prices have skyrocketed
Gotta be some of the best summertime cruising in the country. Except for the flies, do they bite? Thanks for sharing your adventures.
The flies are terrible. Basically ruin a otherwise nice day. The wind can help and they don't live too long. We ran from Devil's island...you'll see

@@backwatersandbackroads, what??? You are in Nashville? We have a place you can hang out if you have extra time 😀
@@SL_BA I hope to meet y'all some day;) that's for sure.
More behind the scenes!
You got it Tom. Over on the back up channel ;)
In as much as I liked the vagabond I don't believe this tour would have been possible in it.
Oh yes buddy, easy...just stuck going slow.

@@thomasscheck2070 it's like a horror movie man! I have no idea how they managed.

where do you find these boats?
Interesting looking caves, but those flies are k!ller.
Are you ok? We haven’t seen a video. Hoping all is well from NE Wisconsin
Yes! Thank you for noticing and caring. Had company for a month. Back to adventures next week;)
So, is the opening quote where you got the idea to name your beagle "Wavey"?
That's it ;) I read the "The Shippng News" once a year. Such a powerful book and so well written. Annie Proulx is an amazing mind in my opinion

That was back at Madelene island Nate ;)
