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...

Marsh Harbour

We had a great dinner ath the Green Turtle Club Saturday night before leaving Green Trutle for Marsh Harbour. We got up and went to Easter sunrise service in Green Turtle. We were eaten alive with "no see'ems." We arrived in Marsh Harbour Easter Sunday about noon. Great ride through the "Whale!" Whale Cay goes out into the Atlantic and can be a very rough inlet if conditions are not good.
Sunday afternoon took the ferry to Nippers at Great Guana Cay.

Today, Easter Monday, is a national holiday so almost everything is closed. Will probably be in Marsh Harbour most of the week. Will try to get some prop work done. You can't get too many sunsets. Marsh Harbour from the stern of our boat.
