Ep:26 The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "Entering the Tenn-Tom Waterway" | Time out of Mind

Published 2024-03-13
Howdy! Fellow adventurers. In this episode, Wavey and I enter the Tenn-Tom Waterway. It's a long (450 miles) and often overlooked leg of the great loop. I hope the next few episodes reveal to you that it's also one of the most peaceful and natural segments of the adventure.

    I really enjoyed the radio conversation with the curious lockmaster.
  • @222dyan
    What a kind lockmaster. Those locks make me nervous. That might be the reason I don't do the loop, but only portions of it that don't have locks. I admire your bravery, you're learning a lot.Thanks for sharing it all. It is pretty amazing.Great feats of engineering.😊
  • @danonsgard4616
    I think the lock master is going to build his own shanty boat now, he pretty much has the recipe. :)
  • @clairea-t7045
    I Love your Boat, so much simpler then the big boys. You have a great setup. I hope you have a fun time!
  • @annhysell6064
    Lock operators are typically so great! I needed a part while on the Erie canal & the lock tender called his wife and she delivered it to me. Absolutely fantastic. Love the towns and coves you find. Mississippi, definitely underrated..the residents probably prefer it that way!
  • Thank you for sharing. Very interesting going through those locks.
  • The first lock after the ditch is the tallest lock in the us at 84 ft, when at the bottom looking up quite impressive! After that 14 more locks and lakes, good fishing, really enjoyed it, good place to spend the winter by Bobs fish camp. Keep up the good videos!

    Most of both sides of the Bay Springs Lake are various Government Recreation Areas. Just found you, so I'm binge watching to get up to episode 28. Greetings from Mobile, AL.
  • Man those locks are huge over there in America. Nice video 🇩🇪🐬🇺🇸
  • @maggieward1892
    Sounds like a kid trying to play a trombone going down in that lock 😝
  • @roydesignedthat
    That was a fun ride! True, you do feel small and alone when on the water in some of those isolated places! I love that feeling! Living by the longest freshwater beach in the world (I know you'll have a Superior comment to that! Lol!) We simply boat straignt out into the bay and the loud noise fades and the crouds of people become dots on the horizon as we swim around our boat alone! As it may have been thousands of years ago!!! Priceless! BestRoy

  • The first bridge you came to when you entered the Tenn-Tom waterway was scruggs boat ramp area,hwy 25 bridge ,first town was burnsville ms
  • @sundy_knight
    I enjoy watching your adventures. I was pleasantly surprised to see a town you went through recently. It was Savannah Tennessee. That white beautiful plantation home you showed is the Cherry mansion. The town was part of the civil war at the battle of Shiloh. There’s a museum and a historical park .
  • We went from Vicksburg to the Natchez trail. Drove it for a few hours. It was lovely.

    When I was discharged from the Navy in 1981 I went to work on the river. Not enough space to tell you all the rivers. Probably my favourite was Arkansas River and Tennessee River. Ohio is not good but upper Mississippi was great. I envy you, I put in 10 years and still think back daily about it. Be safe and enjoy, never know this old man might just do the Loop and keep going lol

    Bay Springs is my home port I’m sure the folks at Fulton, Midway Marina, treated you kindly. N they love for transients to spend holidays with them! Safe travels. 22:07
