We made the cut!! Thanks for putting us in your video. Indian Rocks Beach / Dogonit.
We are American Legion 273 members in case you are ever back in our area.
I was hoping you'd see this episode;)
Perfect timing I'm stuck at an airport and needed some entertainment. Thanks for the video!
Great! Thank you for being a member;)
Great video 👍
That was perfect timing. I was sitting enjoying the sun and decided to watch something.
Man that opening mix music is so chill..love it man
Love the gulf side of Florida! Great episode! It must be so satisfying to be recognized now so often and see how much the channel has grown.
It always surprises me buddy. On the way home, someone at a truck stop recognized the barge and the beagle, they said "I never thought I'd meet a celebrity." I replied, "well you still haven't" ;) lol
I enjoy your content, and your character. I’m disabled, retired , and very interested in shanty life. I live in AL About 25 miles from the TenTom at Fulton, MS.
Your an inspiration!
Thank you, and God bless you and Wavey in your travels.
May the wind be at your backs, mg friend!!
***my***. Lol, I do my best proofreading after I hit send!! Lol
Very cool episode Brenton, lots of money in south Florida. Julie and I came through the areas you have been showing when we did what we call the "southern loop".It was a great trip and our little Corsair 880 Sport Trimaran performed flawlessly. We have made the decision to sale our condo in Key Largo and move on to our off-grid property in Southern Alabama. The taxes and homeowners insurance have tripled in the last 3 years, it's time to sell, we have it listed at $1.6 million. Our property in Alabama is about 3 hours north of Panama City, Florida, were going to find a nice marina down there to keep the boat. The property we bought in Alabama is 2.78 acres and sits on a beautiful 800 acre spring feed private lake and it's full of quality fish. My wife is a critical care RN nurse, the hospital she works at in Miami has an affiliate hospital in Dothan, Alabama so she can just transfer. It will be about a 15 mile ride for her...
I hear you on the taxes. Mine keep going up. That's how they plan to make us homeless
@@backwatersandbackroads That's why we decided to go off-grid, no mortgage, no overpriced homeowners insurance, low taxes, no electric bill, or water and sewer bill.
that barrier island is Anna Maria. I go down there every year and just got back. I wish i would have gone earlier this year and could have seen you and Wavey passing through!! And yes that is a great mooring field and has been for years. Actually several around that area. Great vid!!
Jhen! Which island are you referring to? Near longboat?
This was one of your better videos imo. Thanks dude.
I love beagles(I have a Lemon Beagle) Your Videos And What Your Doing. I Stumbled On Your Channel And Loving It!!
Thank you for finding us! Welcome
I'm still biting my fingernails when I see wavy perched at the side of that boat without a life coat on. Sorry I'm using talk to text so it's not spelling anything right in terms of names. I agree with you totally about heat and humidity it is extremely oppressive. I love the change of seasons. Unfortunately I live in a very humid area in the summer time even though it's Northwestern Pennsylvania. If you look at a map, look up Conneaut Lake PA and that's where I live.
I wanna pirate ship!!! Wow! What a great video, Brenton and Wavey! I think it would be very hard to leave a place that lovely. Pretty zany that McDonald’s has a dock. Almost makes me like them. And I love your thoughts on rap. So cool that you ran into more fans! LOVE IT!
I want a pirate ship too Eva! I'd feed my crew all the McDonald's they wanted ;) lol
Wish we had known you were camped out down at the Legion. Post 273 is one of our favorite places to boat to and one of the best legions in the country. We love it here on this side of Florida, from Tarpon Springs all the way down to Bradenton. It's a great place to have a boat! Hope you and Wavey have a great summer in Minnesota.
where you were at in Bradenton Beach. The whole island is Anna Maria Island, with 3 small towns, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, and Anna Maria. And right across from that mooring field where u were at is Cortez Fl, where I am going to be putting an RV at. We love that area of Florida.
That is a nice area. It's very crowded...my only complaint. That guy on the Chriscraft lived there for like 20 years.
AMI is our Go To, we have done Hawaii. Bahamas. Aruba. AMI beach is the best of all of them and the food is ten million times better.
@@backwatersandbackroads yes u were there at the high season....alot going on then
@@Artoconnell i agree with you!!!
The loop/icw is certainly a powerboat trip. Hard core man. 👍
Isn’t it all about dingy docs and Publix?
:)
That Bradenton Beach is one of my favorite spots. Super easy living in boats and vans.
Hi B. And Gravy...glad to see ya again.
These laws against us men etc. Yea you out living your life Brenton and its definitely not a mistake.
Another very enjoyable video. Yes, living simply and not having to work too hard is a great way to live.
I would rather have sweat dripping off my nose than be cold. Great vid
Born and raised in Florida. I'm with you.
@@jeromesuggs8330 Alabama & Texas
So relaxing. Love it.
Thank you ;)
Glad you are enjoying your day!🌸
Those cat looking gigantors with 3 or 4 huge engines are made by Freeman. they are the rolls royce of boats.
Hey Flatout Fishing here, I passed you when you were passing along the north side of the skyway, definitely cool now finding your channel
Of all the boats your videoed in this episode, I like yours the best! (Although the big shark might be a distant second. )
That one was a hoot :) and the Pirate ship
It’s that hot ha..you would need a Honda generator and a portable window AC
Put some more solar panels on your roof & install a 5000btu window AC to beat the heat. A 5000btu window AC uses @ 400W. 1000W of solar panels & 400Ah of LiFePO4 batteries can run a 5000btu window AC for @ 8 hours a day. Makes sleeping in Florida summer nights a lot better.
That would be amazing
Another grand tour and thanks for bringing us along!
I must say, the congestion of South Florida does have a lot of beauty, man....that waterway traffic would have me on pins and needles. Kudos to you for traversing through unscathed!😊
Thanks!
Thank you! Very very helpful right now. We're digging ourselves out of a $ whole area the moment, what summer is for ;)
I lived there in 2012, just up from Madeira beach., many people living in boats there. All that horn honking is NewYorkers, Pinellas County is nothing but NewYorkers including the Sheriff. No car needed because the speed limit is 35 county wide, a small bike will work year round.
Very awesome video of you crossing Tampa Bay I've been living on Terra ciea Bay and Tampa Bay for ep years+ great fish in these waters. Palmetto is where I live 1 mile from the skyway bridge Bradenton Florida is 10 miles away from me but been all over the waters.... Would love to do the great loop myself...
10:59
My thoughts are its a blessing to be liked on youtube. I feel like your channel is just taking off. You will have the income to continue doing this as long as you want.
The rest of us would have to stop and get temporary work.for gas and food money as we went,once the savings ran out..
That’s my stomping grounds
its 106f here in quartzsite az today
As always, thank you so much. Great travel-log, added to Brenton's adventures.
That is where I grew up. Lived there about 40 years. Got to be way too many folks for me. Raised on Boca Ciega bay which is where you were thru most of this episode. There are like 6 million folks in Tampa Bay Area. I bailed. Live in Ouachita mountains of western Arkansas by Lake Ouachita. I think you'd appreciate it in Montgomery County. Google it. Raised on Shanty boats grandpa built at St. Petersburg Beach. When I moved here bought a Yukon Delta houseboat. Wish still had it
Great looper boat! I look forward to watching your vids
Thanks for all your effort.
47 years born and raised in Florida. Yeah, it is too hot and way to humid. Love the high elevation out west.
Seems like we’re going to see some locks in the near future 😉. Loved this one, fun to see Wavey getting her followers lined up for treats!
The Okeechobee locks coming soon...;)
That was such a smart idea with the zip tie on the engine shut off on the pudgy dude !!
That was fun, thanks
Adventure awaits brother. The thought of owning an island my friend. Brenton you do own those spoils islands. No stopping you brother. Give that beagle some love.
Turn her loose
So much of this world we live in that is off limits. No sir I keep to myself tell no one.
If you're ever on the caloosahatchee River just past ortona lock, you can hang out here. The lollipop just east of us is the "perfect" spot to hang out.
I enjoy your content, and your character. I’m disabled, retired , and very interested in shanty life. I live in AL About 25 miles from the TenTom at Fulton, MS.
Your an inspiration!
Thank you, and God bless you and Wavey in your travels.
May the wind be at your backs, mg friend!!
Ps. I’m going through and liking all your videos to try and improve the algorithms..
Best of luck to you! Keep on keeping on!!
Thank you for finding us! Welcome. Ep:41 coming right up...
Wavy on the edge of the boat is like farmers Australian shepherds riding on the flat bed at 65 mph.😅
Indian Rocks bridge. We stayed in Indian rocks man, 20 some years ago. Love your channel
I can see why people go back after a hurricane
I moored up where you were in Bradenton, back in Feb of 95. Beautiful are, haven't been back since.
Oh and for the fast pass, by the bridge, if he was going past, just above idle, the wake would really get you.
Best wishes from the far North.
Another great episode!
In what, four or five episodes, you'll be done with your loop footage til late next year? I'm gonna encourage you to continue posting your other adventures over the next year or so, because I know you'll be up to something. Thanks for the great videos😉
Oh yes, the adventures never really end here ;) while I'm "wrapping up" this leg of the loop, I'll be putting current time videos up on out backup channel. It's linked in the descriptions of the videos here. It's called "Brenton's Riverside Hermitage" I'm not pushing anyone to subscribe over there, it's just a spot to catch supplemental vidoes. Please don't go anywhere....we're far from over;)
Great video, nice to see the combination parts of Florida.
Speaking on the money in FL & young men on big boats, I think it's a lot of generational wealth in those areas. Especially Naples. I have gone down to visit my aunt in Naples the last couple winters. Every time I would see an ostentatious display of wealth, immediately how do they make their money??? Ppl are pretty cool in FL overall! 😄
@@AndreaLKL72 either that or early adopters of bitcoin? ;)
Enjoyed
Great episode, the wife and I are headed to Carabelle this Saturday through Wednesday. Looking forward to some seafood, beach time and exploring the area further. Keep on boating my friend. Really enjoy your channels.
I live just out Gainesville FL we have a little 5 acre farm been raising hogs forever . And I have a 26 foot sail that is trailerable and we're . 53 miles from Green Cove springs witch is the closest Maria with a boat lift to me .. and $80 to launch my little sail boat ... But we have been planning And setting ourselves up to have a little getaway on the icw to enjoy when it cools down in the fall and there is a few thousand miles of water to explore in the state.. been a long time fan since your first videos and maybe see you on the water ...
Those spoil islands are pretty cool man crazy. They have trees on them.
“We’re slow pokers “ 😂 add me to the list
All those beautiful places. So many people. So much noise. Like you, we're not social butterflies. It'll be good to get back to quiet. 😁
Absolutely. Florida is like California, loved to death and too many people:( on a boat is about the only way to escape the crowds...and even that is difficult
Lovin It!!
Bill! always in my prayers buddy. I hope you're doing good.
Luvin' the updates! Yer getting better with the whole editing thing too, Brenton. Still working on a sailboat in my back yard - - - Next year so don't go too fast.
When dolphins 🐬 are near, whistle seberal times they will come close and surface. I've found that works well for me. I use the two finger whistle so it's very loud, audible. 🤗🐬
Really?! Cool! They are so smart. And playful.
Another great episide. My closest, adventurous Aunt lives in Bradenton.
Hey Brenton, what a cool episode, I'm with ya on the temperature.
I've been to Tampa and St Petersburg many times, we had a terminal in Tampa I would go to about 3 times a year when I worked for WW Transport in Burlington Iowa
It's now Foodliner, they bought WW Transport
Another great video brotha. 👍👍
I totally agree with you on temperatures, once it gets in the 80s and humid, I'm miserable.
And just so you know, a 'no pet' sign cannot be enforced if you have a service animal dog, to do so would be illegal.. and nobody can ask you for paperwork or to prove your dog is a service animal..
I live at 55°N, I take 3 days to acclimate to the heat, then I'm good.
Im very tempted to trailer my boat right to Florida but ive always loved rivers as well. We'll make that decision once i have a boat hahah
I dont know why but the great lakes aren't really calling out to me, maybe ill feel different after i watch more of your lake videos 😅
Late summer and fall up here is the best place to be ;)
Excellent video
I can tell you this much I was born and raised in the swamp. and I never got used to the heat lol I just tolerate it.if I could I would drag the old girl up north for the summer for sure. 50-70 sounds great. Great vide Brenton and of course wavey take bud 👍✌️🛥🎣
I think the best life would be back and forth North to South with the seasons. Man your boat looks awesome. I've had people sending me your videos....you're getting traction. Hi Lil G! ;)
@@backwatersandbackroadsI’ll definitely agree on the back a fourth for the season’s. My last video picked up great momentum I can say I never thought when I started this channel it would get as much notice as it has.
@GJCAMPING keep going! ;)
God forbid the man assume any responsibility for the children he has brought into this world. Need I say more?
Well the hot topic here in Oklahoma City is tgat Brenton and Wavey have called it a wrap over in NC and headed back to the Northland.
Talk of the town now....
We have. :) We're back in Superiorland for the summer. You'll like the Superiorland videos, I promise. And we'll finish the loop...trust me ;)
You have solar, you need s small fan on you. It makes all the difference.
We got one. It does help. Thanks!
Another good one Brent ol' boy. Pet the pooch for me.
Welcome to my backyard Bradenton.
The misfortune with the dogs laws. Seems like everybody and their brother buys "Service Dog" vests off amazon and puts them on, to take their dogs into anywhere they want.
To abuse the real reason for the vested service dogs.
Hi 👋 Brenton and Wavey 😊😊😊
Hi Greg!! -Wavey Gravey;)
Such a cool episode. We just love Florida! I would never let my kids go to public school in 1,000 years but if I had no choice, Florida would be my pick. It looks like you two are having the most fun! I pray that the fun continues and safety prevails as always. Thanks for being an awesome beagle daddy my friend! Quick question..... Do you use an electric portable power station? I'm looking at bluetti or ecoflow units and I didn't know if you had any advice? I will be here waiting on the next installment as always. God bless! 🏝️🛥️🦀🐡🌞😎🤙 35:44
Howdy Captain. Smart, not letting the state indoctrinate your children. How we ever started letting the state "raise" our children was the beginning of the end :( we have 2 power solar generators sent to us, still in boxes. We're going to have to pull those out and see what they are. The solar system on the barge handles everything, so we don't need it there...but some other builds coming up ;)
@@backwatersandbackroads that's right Brenton.... We will do the indoctrinating around here thank you very much. JK. 🤣 Super cool, so you don't even need them. That's fantastic. Thanks for the prompt reply as always! You are the man. 🤙
I wish I had some way of knowing when and where you are on this journey. I have several people who are very close friends who live on an island within eyesight of the Sunshine skyway bridge. They would have been more than happy to let you use their washer and dryer, take a shower, and plug in or come on in for a few days.
You can check his community tab on this channel for the latest whereabouts.
That's really nice, and folks have been offering all sorts of kind things like that, but the truth is we mostly like to be self sufficient. I have a nerotic left over from childhood where I feel like a burden to people and putting people out if we dare ask for help. It's not you...it's me!! Lol
That’s a thought! 😲☝️Anyone ever do the loop on a jet ski? I’ve seen some videos of a long jet ski trip but not the loop.
Yes! Someone did it...it's here on YT ;)
Capt I bet when those high dollar boats pull up to the fuel dock there credit card turn red hot that 60 Yamaha work's fine for me, and Wavey is a chick magnet that alone paid his room and board, got to say you do a nice job editing your video you can tell there were some time put in to them.👍
Lol exactly I work construction, but in the mountains, once it hits 80+ I start to die
Good thought to consider u threw out at 32:56. I like it. So how to handle the other half a year? Assuming the heat bothered ya and felt the need to move. If heat wasn’t a factor suppose could live all year like that? Would there be public place rent I guess to park tow vehicle? Have to find a base for shanty yearly maintenance?
I'll return to this Maggie;)
It’s Muh-deer-uh Beach, really simple. So happy I found your channel! ❤TN Nana
I love this entire area from Indian Rocks Beach on down to Pass-A-Grill. Beautiful area. That big bridge is the Skyway Bridge. You do have to watch it in Tampa Bay. Lots of shallow, shoaly areas off the marked channels for those who have never navigated this area before and you plan to cruise this area.
Question 😅 what happened to the white kayak? Now you have a red one! 😂
@gwrulzmylife I tried out a lot of ways to get on ans off the boat on the loop ;) the Portland Pudgy ended up being the one
You know you easily get Wavey registered as a service dog online, that way she can go wherever you go.
Just my 2 cents.
Truth of the matter is, he's homeless by his own doing.
A boat is considered a 'toy' in almost all states, and not considered a living space (altho it is to many many good folks).
It was by his own doing and his own choice that he didn't pay his child support (shame on him...those are his children and he's responsible for supporting them) This is why they call his type a 'deadbeat dad'.
Now the rest of us taxpayers have to support those kids. Great!
Had he paid for the children he brought into this world, he'd not be homeless now. (and his life, and his kids' life would probably be a whole bunch better too)
I grew up in Bradenton 50-60 years ago. The town (beach) you couldn't pronounce (Madeira) is Ma-Deer-Ah
Thank you! ;)
March 16th? I didn't realize this was three months behind. Where are you now? I am celebrating this video on my birthday today so I was a teeny bit sad I'm not on your realtime. Ah well,great video as always Brenton,sending well wishes and calm seas to you and Wavey!
Btw,my baby Izzy is 14 today. When I got her she was close enough to where we celebrate the same birthday. Izzy is my sweet Jack Russel x Rat Terrier cross.
Time out of mind.
Curious where you are in real time, the Carolina's by now?
Hey man, would love to hear the Chris Craft story. I absolutely love those old timers.
That Beach you couldn't pronounce is Ma Deer Ah. (According to some lifelong St.Pete friends of mine)
Too bad you didn't enter the St. Pete Beach waterways. They link up to St. Petersburg & Tampa Bay.
(somehow)
I've ridden Harleys with my friends all around that area. Lots of draw bridges. Navigating over them is much different than under I'm sure.
Hey Sir, keep a close eye for aggilators down that way this time of year. yes sir, they will go into the gulf.
Little fish swim too brother
So is the shanty in NC? I think you said you were at home but were returning to finish the loop. Hope you are doing well, I enjoy your videos.
Thank you Rodney! Very helpful. We're back home on Lake Superior, catch up and staying cool (as in temperature);) I'll keep cracking the whip on Wavey for two a week. We will finish the loop...believe me.
Who needs a wingman when you got a spoiled Beagle luring 3 at a time.. I grew up in that heat and humidity but as the years pass by I have to keep my old butt cooler and drier.
Hope you’re doing the same by now.
Hey summer sun can heat pavement, sand to extreme high temos, get Wavey some dog shoes or carry her. Try walking barefoot and you will understand. Great show by the way.
You can be a family member of a veteran to go to an American Legion. That's why it's so busy
If it were me I would invest in some wire rope a lock and make a way to lock my dinghy to the docks and boat. I AM JUST SAYING.
Side Note. Why don't you consider taking a detour at Jacksonville, and travel up (south!) the St. Johns River. I'm betting that I'm not the only one that would enjoy. Best to you and Wavey
We traveled almost the entire length of the St. John's a couple winters ago on the Vagabond. Here on my channel. "Winter Beagle Escape"
Would not leave my pup for any reason.
You couldn't afford the fuel on a jetski on the loop lol 😆
And then the man said I’ll put a toll in that Atoll? !!
Your cool
I might not be your best you-tuber... but I've been following you since Alabama... Okay... cool... this guy is headed south! FLA being my home state... I figured you would stop in my hometown! The video before this... was cool... My family settled in there... btw... that place has a lot more history there than you shown... then moved a bit more south... I use to camp out on those spoils... back then... there weren't so many... But no... beyond me... why you didn't stop... you could of stayed there easily for a week! Free Day Docks available... tons of places to anchor... Gas/Food all within a couple of blocks... the absolute best kayaking! Plus to top it off... the "Best Beach in the World"...
