Following your a lot further than what I thought till I saw this channel 😄- I grew up in Jupiter just south of Stuart, my sister lives in Stuart. Enjoying your adventure

[@terrychandler3969]

People calling &complaining I call that the Cravitts syndrome, from Mrs Cravitts off bewitched yep there everywhere, good journey buddy

[@MrSheymie]

Nice new dinghy! I have a similar one that I use as a fishing skiff. Rotomolded dinghies are great. Tough and light. Florida looks beautiful.

[@gretarobinson1142]

Found you over here too, and now i feel complete! 😀

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Hi Greta;) welcome. This is where the "not ready for prime time" stuff happens

[@garygoodwin5961]

You make all these major crossings (Mobile Bay, Carrabelle-Steinhatchee, all the way across the state of Florida through Lake Okeechobee) without showing video of it. I’ve been watching your channel since you launched that boat just to see how it handled in open water and you end up leaving those parts out? YOUR KILLING ME!!!

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Gary, we're slowly getting to all of that. Making quality 30-40-60 minute videos take a lot of time. That's one reason I put up videos over here, for those that want to be caught up so to speak. We're almost to Mobile Bay on BWBRs. Stay tuned

[@brianquinn3451]

Check out his video that he done for instruction purposes of what goes into making his videos . I had no idea . He really puts alot of time in to make them and he still has to enjoy the trip.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Wonderful channel. Great adventures. Enjoying your journeys on the great loop.I hope to give it a try on my sailboat before long. I draw 6 feet and wonder if I can travel to most of the areas you have been. Appreciate all the info that you share along the way. Hope you have a wonderful return trip. Cheers, S/V Cork⛵

[@soundsidetoursnc]

Doing awesome Brenton!! Can’t wait to meet you in NC. Happy Easter!! Jesus has Risen!! God bless you and the beagle.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Absolutely. Please let me know when I'm getting close;)

[@prestongilbert4199]

Ya got me Brent.

[@MichaelSmith-hu5pw]

I really enjoy watching your videos along the way, thank you for the gift that you give to everyone through your channels here on the tube. Some people only know anger and there is nothing you can do to avoid them, but fortunately they are the few and hopefully they will learn to have love in their hearts and leave behind the burden of hate and anger.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Thanks for being here Michael. I've had my fair share of anger. Had to delve deep to find the root causes. Deep subject. Life is definitely easier in this modern world with a mote around you;)

[@ChristopherQuest]

Love the real life views, your pup makes us smile. I have a small channel and preparing to launch for the season at Navarre (near Pensacola). Your videos are great - please keep them coming!! Thanks

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Thank you. If you start a travel series, I'll promote on the main channel.

[@ChristopherQuest]

@@brentonsriversidehermitage I have many videos out there now, if you are interested in the Fl panhandle ICW that's where I can be found. Thanks!

[@Lancaster7]

The shallow draft comes very handy in the ICW.

[@thomaskitz1185]

sweet park you found ! We always enjoy your walks with Wavey n your travels * 🥰😇😍

[@steverichmond9157]

Happy dog, happy blog.

[@erikyoutube5692]

That made me chuckle!!!

[@lawrencecanright2541]

It will be more boater friendly when you get to Georgia and the Carolinas. Just too crowded here in Florida. I used to find a place to anchor for the weekend if I was traveling on the intracoastal. Avoided a lot of the crazy boat traffic that way. Thanks for doing this vlog video.

[@erikyoutube5692]

Yes!!! Thanks Brenton

[@davelawrence6777]

Yup your here I'm here thanks for posting

[@krustyelbowz1032]

Please watch that puppy down there in Jurassic Park...lol

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

We're keeping her on a short leash ;)

[@brucecreswell136]

Great vid

[@melvinaltis3725]

You know after all this time on the water you would just know where you can anchor ! This is MY water ! Wow. Wavey likes the grocery store cart. What do you mean no pets, she is not a pet she is a crew member.!!❤ Stay happy and free friends. Happy Easter to all.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

You got it ;) they never say a word. 'I found her on next to the ocean cream cooler."

[@karaDee2363]

All he has to say is she is his service animal, then they can't do anything about it, no documentation is required

[@annhysell6064]

Unfortunately most waterfront property owners also believe they own the river/lake/whatever in front of their property as well. Boaters hopefully have a voice, although it is tough to maintain a group in order to have any influence.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Like herding cats ;) it's easier to hold one's ground on your own floating island. That guy was probably dumb enough to come "take care of me" in person. ;)

[@user-vt5ct4zz6b]

This must be one of those days where you realize why you live in the UP and not Florida. Never have to worry about the people problem up in Superiorland. Quite the contrary in overcrowded Florida. Gets rarer and rarer to find even the slightest slice of tranquil paradise there. Every place has it's tradeoffs. Living in a place with rough winters is just temporary, but living in an overcrowded place with people everywhere is 365 day affair.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

You're spot on. I prefer cold places as home bases. You cab always leave in the winter

[@Yooperal3]

Great video bud.Looks warm bring some back north with ya! Hey next time someone is yelling at ya just let Wavey howl back and film their reaction...my mother used to do that to solicitors with our German Shepard! Worked like a charm!😂

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Your mom was awesome buddy. ;) take lots of footage in Europe

[@lesliefleming4359]

Thanks for the extra Vlog Brenton. I see the dog in the shopping cart trick is still working well.😅

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Publix! Love em! ;)

[@karaDee2363]

Agree with you 100%. Unfortunately there are some people out there that enjoy going out of their way to make other people's lives miserable and claim they have authority to do it, such as that a hole in the rowboat...

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

You got it. Things are going to get rougher as we go on here in American

[@GregoryMueller-ss2qv]

Hi Brenton 👋 and Wavey 😊😊

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Hi Greg! ;)

[@TrueBOB]

If you guys need anything while up in NE Florida let us know. Palm coast to St. Johns river. The kids love Wavey!

[@evawinchester6122]

Great video Brenton! People are hilarious, aren’t they? Non-stop entertainment. Have you ever heard of the carnivore way of eating? As far as I can see, it’s the easiest way ever to regain and maintain good health. It’s worked wonders for me over the last few months. Bounced out and in for a years with that and keto…only to bounce back in at 100 percent carnivore. I hate subjecting myself the the health scare system and this really helps…especially with chronic pain. Thanks again for the video! Your thoughts are super appreciated.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Eva, how is that different than Keto? I have some chronic pain myself (back and neck) stretching helps.

[@evawinchester6122]

It’s been coined “The Proper Human Diet” by the wonderful Dr. Ken Berry. He also calls it “extreme keto” in that the goal is to stay as close to no carb as possible. The foods include meat, eggs and full fat dairy…and that’s it. Folks all over the globe…or plane…or state of consciousness or prison planet :) are reporting weight loss (although this can be a slow go for some folks…but that’s okay), pain relief, cures from cancer, MS, eczema, PCOS, on the opposite side of that, low T, depression, anxiety, brain fog, eating disorders, alcoholism and even schizophrenia.The list goes on and on. No Carb Life is a great channel for testimonials. I think you’d really dig Kerry from Homesteadhow on YT. It’s reduced my pain by about 85% which I am so grateful for. I’ve had arthritis since I was a child and this is beyond a blessing and I consider it another gift along this path. You don’t get very hungry either, which makes it cost effective. The hardest thing for most people is to get past the food pyramid programming we’ve been indoctrinated with, as well as having to leave the “food as a social connection” scene. Soooo worth it. :) Less people less…..@@brentonsriversidehermitage

[@danielnicholls6868]

looks like you are heading north up the intercoastal waterway now. allmost half way around loop 👍👍

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

I think miles wise...we're more than half. Still a long way to go. Slow ans steady ;)

[@joshuapaul349]

There are stickers of a Beagle silhouette I see all over south Florida. Must be some random guy that loves his dog. Let me know if you come across one. I hear they are all over the US & possibly abroad too. More adventures are needed for confirmation.

[@roamingscooterguy2786]

Is your new dingy a Portland Pudgy??? When di you acquire that? Keep keeping on!!!!

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

We got one! Cheap too ;) gonna do a review soon...

[@theconsultant8732]

Good Morning.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Morn'n! ;)

[@user-ub9th6mf9t]

I have a cunning plan !!! ( Ohh god look out the black adder is BACK!!!) Have a live cam link so we can click and see whats up 24/7 ?? Long as you remember to hang a towle over the camera when your bathing of course 🎉🎉😂😂😂

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

People would get bored in 2 hours...I promise;)

[@user-ub9th6mf9t]

Still would be cool . Sometimes I click on the traffic cams just soo how the weather is in the mountains or traffic tie ups ECT ...don't stay long

[@justmike1529]

😳 was that a gator in the first clip?? Should Wavey be out on the deck when you are anchored out ? I’ve heard stories of gators snatching dogs off docks in Florida. Y’all be safe. Thanks for letting us all tag along

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

That was a gator. I've been being really careful with her

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

I’ve spent a lot of time on the water ways and there is always one of those people who thinks they own the view in front of their property and for the most part I don’t want to be around them so if you don’t like your neighbors you can do what they’re so jealous about you can pull up the hook and let them believe that they won lol. You have a better chance of getting away with leaving your dinghy and boat unattended on the West Coast but I don’t advise it on the East side we had to dinghy’s stolen from marina dinghy docks one stolen while we were asleep at anchor and a engine stolen from the rail that was chained up while we went shopping. Crap happens but I’m going to make a crook work for it because every little dog has his day. And I’m not talking about you Wavey you’re the luckiest ever.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

We're on fbw east coast now and I appreciate the heads up. We're in Fort Pierce today and having a heck of a time finding a place to just go to shore! Gesh. But! Some people have real problems;)

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

@@brentonsriversidehermitage I wish I could help they had so much damage there after the last few storms that I bet it has changed the scenery there. Ive got one good friend in that area be he’s off hiking the Appalachian trails for a month trying to outrun the bears. At least all you got to watch out for right now is the gators and the Sharon’s and maybe a grass eating manatee. I’ll be in Marathon in the Keys in mid May for my 50th high school reunion if you’re around anywhere in the Keys around then my two best friends who I’ve got them watching you to would love to take you and Wavey out for lunch and whatever 3 68 yr old guys can get into as long as it doesn’t involve wild women, liquor, drugs, and a lot of other fun stuff that would kill us now days.

[@robertgoodnow5069]

Brent. I’m about the same age as you. A couple of years ago I decided “to make one Healthy decision a day”…I did this after realizing that all of the health problems in my extended family were related to poor decisions (smoking, drinking, drug use and diet)….Love the videos and Your Freedom Loving Rants ❤️🤍💙..Godspeed from ‘Behind Enemy Lines 😂 Boston MA.’ Rob

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Thank you. That's a good idea. I've always been a walker thank God

[@MrJeffDemme]

When did you get the Portland Pudgy? I have one too. Currently i use a 50 lb thrust trolling motor and lifepo4 battery. It works, but its slow. Is that Suzuki a 2.5 hp? How does it perform? I'm thinking about upgrading. Suzuki is the lightest and the least e pensive. But I like Yamahas. I cannot find much online with the Pudgy and various engines, 😊

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Howdy! Yes sir. Portland Pudgy. It's a 2023. Got it cheap. It needs a long shaft. We currently have a short shaft. It work if I sit in the back. When i get home I have a Honda 2.3 long shaft to use. Loving the PP so far

[@AZ-vt7dt]

1 in 5 people you encounter (a full 20 %)...are lost, and never comin' back. Then ya' got another 10-15% who are figuring it out.....that still leaves 65 % of all folks to be tolerable.

[@wallsle]

You and Wavy have a good relationship. How does it feel to have such a loud boss? Good vid

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

She's a great life companion ;) I don't know what I'll do when she ages out

[@markJones38133]

Someone tried to steal my kayak that was tied to the top of my suv in Mobile AL. He cut all my tie downs, but after he saw the steal cable with a lock on it. They left it.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

I should start taking more precautions

[@user-ub9th6mf9t]

Just tell them $50 fuel money and you can move

[@brianquinn3451]

Some people just want to be loud and when younger i would show i could be loud too now i would rather just move on and not argue with a jack ass as we get older we learn the value of our time and would rather not waste on someone when so many other things we can do.
