Ep:20 The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "Last Gas for 150 Miles..." | Time out of Mind
Howdy! fellow adventurers. In this episode of The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat, Wavey and I find the only working gas pump between Hoppies and Paducah. Kind of sounds like the making of a country song;) We finally get off the Mississippi River and start beating up against the Ohio. Make sure you have plenty of fuel, because your consumption will roughly double.
Howdy fellow adventurers--the adventure begins. Wavey and I towed the Cdory 16 over to Wisconsin, loaded it up with the basic essentials and headed out to the islands. The first stop we made was the lighthouse on Long Island (I thought it was called Long Island Lighthouse) it's actually called "La Pointe Lighthouse" and there's an interesting story about it (the park service fella on Raspberry Island tells us about that in a later episode) We also head over to Madeline Island (the only real inhabited island in the Apostles) to show you around and set up a base camp of operations for exploring the rest of the islands. I think the episodes only get better from here...Michigan Island Lighthouse, Outer Island Lighthouse...Raspberry Island Lighthouse...Sand Island Lighthouse...Devils Island...Rocky Island Fish Camps...you get to see it all here. Stay tuned, the series has just begun. ;)
Can Wavey send you a post card? We have some from the Apostle Islands, and homemade BWBRs post cards too. (donation, any amount)

Howdy! fellow adventurers, welcome back to the Beagle Barge Beagle Adventure. In this episode, Wavey and I discover "the sloughs" to escape the winter winds. We also pass through Mississippi lock and dam #12. Wavey insisted on giving y'all a beagle tour of the town as well. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for coming along...

Howdy guys and gals, I came across another Nomad a couple months ago here in Florida, she's in rough shape, but nothing a little effort and elbow grease can't fix. In this video we get the 1st layer of grime off her and install an outboard on her transom. I'll keep posting videos of the project as I get to it.
For those interested, yes this boat is for sale. It's now located at my home in Minnesota. As much as I love the Nimbles, I have too many boats and the Vagabond is the keeper. There seems to be way more people looking for a Nomad than available. The price will continue to go up as I work on it and spring comes. If you're up to a project, this would probably be the best deal you'll ever find on one anymore.

Howdy! fellow adventurers. In this episode, Wavey and I explore the historic town of Kimmswick, Missouri. The is also the home of Hoppies, one of the last convenient fuel stops for a hundred plus miles. Unless you like hiking 5 mile trips with gas cans (Wavey apparently does) fill your tanks here. I hope you enjoy the tour...

Another shanty boat build is coming spring and summer 2020. "The Super Shanty Boat Beagle Build" Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6_YXESjnXY&t=166s
Hi everyone, here's my first video on building up the shanty boat for floating from Michigan to Florida this coming fall. It's really a 26 foot trailer houseboat, but started in such bad shape, I'm rebuilding it and calling it a shanty boat. I'll posting a lot of videos about this to come. If you're interested in chatting about boats--or life in general--give me a call. 530-210-4128 Thanks for watching --Brenton

Hi Everyone, I put every bit of my modest video-making skills to work on this one (surprised my phone didn't melt!) to find it got demonetized at the end (oh well). YouTube doesn't pay much anyway, I hope who's left of Monty Python buys a pint on me somewhere :)
Here's a link to a 7 minute'ish long talk (not rant) about the power of quiet places if you're interested.

We're only 90 subs away from hitting 3K here on Back Waters...maybe you can share with someone else who likes our brand of crazy?
Got a few bucks burning a hole in your pocket? My scooters and boats are always thirsty :)
