Ep:44 The Great Loop on a Shanty Boat | "When in doubt, walk it out." | Time out of Mind

thanks for the memories. Dad and I did the ICW 40 years ago on the "Kermudgen" . was a great trip and glad to see your having fun.

We love watching your beautiful travels. And Wavey handled her dog fans with such indifference. A true star! Me and the kitties send you guys lots of love.

That growth on your hull is costing you plenty in extra fuel. Just scrape it off.

Fl has a law that you can anchor pretty much anywhere, but no law that assures you have access to land. That keeps me from buying a liveaboard boat to live on in the winter. Even if you find a liveaboard marina, there is no guarantee it will be there in the future for you. You're at the mercy of someone else and I don't like that feeling. Just another way to restrict your freedom.

The empty “wild” Florida space north of Titusville is due to the early days when it was decided to put spacecraft launching facilities there. The whole area was declared National Seashores and protected from development. Security for the launch areas was the idea. Additionally in the earliest days they did not know fully how the rockets were going to behave, and in the event one went out of control and went tearing up the coast there was a safety zone. If you look along the Atlantic side beach areas there are abandoned concrete bunkers intended to protect launch staff observers and photographers. Love your work.

I appreciate this series of videos. I'm hunkering down at home this year and maybe next finishing paying off my home mortgage. When I was traveling I do it in an old jeep liberty that was purchased for my daughter originally. I take all the seats but the drivers out and have a bed platform I put in it. I like taking my time driving with no real destination kinda like you. But until I'm ready to hit the road again I spend my weekend evenings parked at a local Pilot truck stop facing west watching the sunset and eating dinner. After dark I watch your videos and all the interesting travelers making a pit stop for gas and other things. I understand it doesn't sound exciting, it's not meant to be. It's just relaxing. Thanks again for sharing your travels.

I have so much stuff. Trucks, boats, kayaks, house, tools, gear of every description. I don’t know that I could get rid of all that stuff or be comfortable without it. I sure would like to try though.

always look forward to these videos.

Always take whatever footage is available knowing in all liklihood I'll never pass this way again. Every day is a blessing

Another great video. Looks like this is a nice area of Florida, not as developed as other parts.. I would have definitely tied up to the dock where that Park was, said no boats but didn't say no dinghies, and then it would have been easier for you to get your gas.. I see Miss Wavy also has many four-legged fans..😊

Another great episode with lots of nice scenery. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I grew up in Sebastian, Fl . with my brother & family. We traveled along Jungle trail to a friend's house on the river and took a little boat across to David's island. We had a cabin that we built for just us (kids). All the roads were sand back then and it was kinda like the wild west. I sure do miss those days. We could fish in and swim and run boats and no one bothered us. ⛵🐕🐬

We drove down Hyw 1 and tried to take as many side trails to get to beaches, like the isolated one you pulled up on. Absolutely beautiful!!! BestRoy

If yer comfortable in yer own skin, then yer in a sweet spot! Amen, little Brother!

Thinking about driving with my RV on The Great River Toad this fall. Would like to experience a boat down the Great Loop, but that’s for another time.

Another great episode of the loop, I returned the favor added your channel to the channels to check out list.hope all is well up north give Wavey a belly rub from you’re friends in the swamp👍✌️🛥🎣🇺🇸

In a 26 minute video, you told us to "stay tuned ", 6 times. You remind me of old TV shows back in the 50's😂. I love what ya'll are doing. Thought about selling everything & do what you're doing. Maybe one day. Tennessee river is in my back yard. Pride Landing. Thanks for bringing us along

Always enjoyable to watch. Coming up on 20k

We ducked into a marina across from Sebastian Inlet (close to your 'Pacific Island') to avoid the storms surrounding us. Had dinner at the marina's restaurant. Found our AC 'burned out'. As it was the end of October, sleeping with open hatches with fans was...tolerable. Our depature the next morning was delayed by 2 hours due to fog. No schedule to keep so just enjoyed our morning coffee waiting for the fog to burn off. You brought back some wonderful memories!

I'll add another vote for Wonderhussy. Been following her off and on for a few years now and she is quite the ad for not taking life too seriously.
