Back Waters and Back Roads

Howdy fellow adventurers...!

We're working on a great video for you as we speak. Mike, Wavey, myself...and of course Adventure Kitty are 3 days into an awesome adventure out on the Huron River...

I won't spoil anything here, but we'll have lighthouses, fall colors, remote beaches and back water excursions for you in this one...

I might even (finally!) have some drone footage for y'all...;)

Thanks for your patience, I'll put my editing hat on as soon as we get back this weekend...

Back Waters and Back Roads

Good morning fellow adventurers. Wavey and I are finishing up a JOB today (yes, I actually work sometimes) 😆...

Wavey doesn't though...

This coming week, my buddy Michael and I (and Wavey and Adventure Kitty) are heading out on Lake Superior for a fall adventure. I won't say too much about it (yet) but it's going to be awesome (and probably an hour long like the canoe trip)...

Also, I think we finally settled on plans and places to see this fall and winter on the Beagle Barge. I'll share more of that soon (I think y'all will love it)...

Thanks for sticking around...and your patience.

Stay tuned...

Howdy fellow adventurers! Fall is in full swing here in Superiorland. I've been picking wild apples off random trees while out on Wavey walks. I forgot to mention in our last video, we finally got a check-up...no Limes! But probably a good 20 pounds too heavy. I'm back to walking 5 miles a day (Wavey loves it)...

There's a couple of shanty boats here in Ontonagon these days (see pictures) one anchors up the river here once in a while, we'll have to track them down eventually...

The new (to us) Shanty Scooter is tuned up and dialed in. Fluids changed, windscreen, new front tire. I took it on a 100 mile shake down cruise last week and I think it's going to work for fall and winter side quests...

The locks on the Arkansas being closed down in October is really throwing a wrench in our plans, exploring plan-Bs and plan-Cs right now...

Work and projects should be slowing down after this week and we can get back to some adventures and videos...

Have a good week, see y'all soon...

Howdy! Fellow adventurers. Figured its been a minute since we checked in...

We dropped the Beagle Barge in the river for a few weeks, before heading south in October. The plan is still to drop in toward the top of the Arkansas River...

I picked some puff ball mushrooms yesterday (yes I checked to make sure they aren't the poisonous mimics) and added them to a crock pot chicken dish... hoping it lasts the whole week...

We have a new batch of Shallow Drafters flags, tshirts and sweatshirts if you're interested. Either find us on FB (The Shallow Drafters Shanty Boat Club) or email me (I include my email in the description of every video)...

I'm working on Ep:2 of "The Moonlander Beagle Build" for this week, and finishing up a little two-wheeled adventure video for the back-up channel (Brenton's Riverside Hermitage)...

We'll be back to weekly Shanty Boat adventures here soon...excited.

Thanks as always for sticking around. See you soon...

Howdy! Fellow adventurers. Wavey and I are taking this week off, we've been traveling all over the south for the past couple of weeks--and we are beat...

Picture: 1 Some nice folks took a rare non-POV picture of the Beagle Barge for us while passing through one of the Erie Canal locks--thank you!...

Picture: 2 We picked up a dirt cheap Bayliner Explorer with an outboard bracket (rare!) for future adventures. We probably won't get to that one until next summer... ;)

Picture:3 The 1st annual Shanty Boat Rendezvous was so much fun! We met so many cool people. If the first one was this much success, the next one is going to be even bigger and better... ;)

Wavey discovered minnows last summer and now that's all she wants to do. Beagles are crazy! Well at least Wavey is... ;)

Thanks everyone for continuing to hang around our channel. This is more/less all we do, so it sure is nice to have company out here... ;)

See you soon...

We're going to stop in Chesapeake City for a couple days (free docks) and work on the next episode...

Howdy! Fellow adventurers. Wavey and I will be back in the water today. I did a little late night maintenance while on the trailer (lower case oil and prop.) This is the exact spot we paused on the Great Loop a year and a half ago. The weather is slowly warming up, we have all the time in the world to deep dive into the East Coast. The best is yet to come on The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat series...stay tuned... :) -Brenton and Wavey
