The Great Loop

This web site is an attempt to provide a quick and easy way for our family and freinds to keep up with us on "The Loop"

The Great Loop is a 6000 mile jouney down the Tennessee River and the Tombigbee Waterway to Mobile, Alabama. From there around the coast of Florida via Key West with a side trip to the Bahamas. Back to the coast of Florida we head up the east coast to the Chesapeake Bay. From the Chesapeake we continue up the east coast through New York Harbour, up the Hudon River, and across the Erie Canal. Through a series of canals we go across Lake Ontario into Canada. We will spend a month in Canada. Back to the US, we will cross Lake Michigan to Chicago. Following the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Cumberland Rivers back to Tennesse.


LOOP CLOSED: 8/12/09: 310 days, 6170 miles, 107 locks, 3 countries, 16 states, 85 different marinas, 10,050 gallons of diesel fuel, thousands of photos, countless new friends, and priceless memories...

Key West


Well here we are in Key West.....the ride over was a little too long.....5 hours...and I finally gave in and took some meds. First nite was Mallory Square and of course a beautiful sunset! Emmie and I took in the craft fair....and the prices were really typical of Key West...HIGH...but we had fun. Bill rented an electric car as a surpirse for us and took us to his favorite restaurant Cafe Sole' wonderful hogfish and hearts of palm salad....and great wine of course.....two bottles later and we were touring the town.....One more nite here and onward to Marathon. Check us out and leave us a note! SEA LA VIE
