Ep:7 Lost Footage | Drifting into Hoppies

See you over on Back Waters and Back Roads

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

Now that’s relaxing that’s why I used to love to sail no noise except the water on the hull.

drifting saves fuel, even sideways ! It gives Wavey a better view. Adventure on ! ❤

Peaceful … Perhaps a good wake up to, With first cup of coffee in am 🌺🌺🌺

Yes this is the way to do the rivers slow and easy. If I am able to do this I'll have a trolling motor to keep me straight and only use the big motor for the locks. Maybe fish while I float Take care and stay safe Brenton.

[@brucecreswell136]

Keep them coming, please.

I don't believe I had seen those Hubbard photos. My book had line illustrations by Harlan. Thank you.

[@lesliefleming4359]

Brenton, I think you are a little eccentric with a lot of smartness built-in. I am a bit of a eccentric myself. My kids tell me I’m like the guy in the movie the Big fish. we’re both enjoying the calmness of the river but I could only take it five minutes. The rest of the time I’d be up on a plane at 22 mph worrying about running out of fuel but would probably do it anyway until I ran out and kick myself in the butt. You definitely have the potential to finish this great loop. We’re all behind you and cheering you on My friend.❤

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

I think we're gonna finish the loop...and then some ;) few start way up on the Mississippi, and go across the great lakes, including Superior. If I can pull up to my doorsteps in Ontonagon, will feel very accomplished. Thanks for the encouragement

[@JudeSpurlin-pg7ri]

Awesome, thanks

@greatnorthern706 thank you. I've never come across that song. Looking up now...

Have you considered ping The Ohio River. Spent a lot of boating years from Pittsburgh to Cairo. The Hubbard's home land! If you go don't miss Marietta Ohio. Enjoy your KZbin episodes.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

I do want to explore the entire Ohio River.

While drifting use a trolling motor to steer ...let the sun do the heavy lifting for ya.

[@erstugs]

Very nice. Do you have any footage of the fuel dock?

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Yes sir. Episode 18 coming up on main channel...

[@Ivansgarage]

Why two channels?

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

For the "not so ready for prime time" footage that doesn't fit on the main channel. More/less anything goes over here. A pressure relief valve ;)
