    Great video and the more I watch your channel i hope that if I can ever do the great loop I got to have me a shanty boat. I also prefer to color outside the lines. Keep on keeping on and keep the camera rolling so many great sights some will never get to see in person so I for one Is grateful incase I don't get to go there and if I do I have something to look forward to.

There was a dock for loading phosphate on to ships at the south end of the Island at Boca Grande pass. Like most of the places you've travel through along the Florida coast it was a much quieter and less populated place when we we were frequent visitors (by boat) in the 70's.

    I'm from Florida. When you are in the ICW, I would be dragging an artificial hard bait that doesn't dive very deep. Yo-Zuri baits work well. No telling what you could catch. We always have a couple of rods rigged that we put out in all the no wake zones. Can be very productive. Enjoying the videos and new subscriber.

      3 to 4 mph would probably be better, but I would still have it in the water. You could cast to the bank, especially in the mouth of all the little feeder creeks, if you were close enough as you passed by.

You need to install your kill switch on your dingy motor and attach it to your wrist. FWC will write you a ticket for not having your kill switch attached to you person while motoring. I know, I got stopped in a microskiff and luckily just got a warning.

    Watching Wavey Gravey going back and forth on the forward deck reminded me of one time we had dolphins around our boat. Our dog must of been able to hear their dolphin sounds as he always knew when they were near. One time a couple of them hung back by our cockpit, rather than cavorting in the bow wake, and would swim under our boat and come up on the other side of the cockpit. So our dog, Mate, would dash back and forth across the cockpit to see them. It was quite a game that lasted for several minutes. When we were looking over the side, one of the dolphin rolled on it side to get a better look at us! Watching your videos brings back all kinds of memories for us, like that one. Thank you! p.s. Have you noticed if Wavey knows if dolphins are around before you even spot them?

    You need a open cam on the boat so we can see where you are in real time

    Sorry, Brenton and wavey . Just worried you won’t finish the loop because I’m prejudice about sites on the Hudson River, Erie, and Champlain canals, like New York City, Kingston, Catskill, Albany, Saratoga Springs battlefield, and the oldest horse racing track in America.. also the revolutionarywar forts like., F❤❤ort Ticonderoga, fort Edward, and a couple smaller ones on Lake Champlain and Lake George. I’m prejudice, lol love your channel and enjoy what you do, my friend.

      We will finish the loop. The plan is to leave lake Superior early September 2025 (a year from now) and go east and down, through all the places you mentioned. It's just too hot down south! Ans we would be rushed if we tried to do it all this year. It will happen, and better because we broke it in two parts.
