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...

Cape May

Cape May Here We Come....125 miles make for a full day (starting at 6:30)......as we approached via the C&D Canal and Delaware Bay we saw all kind of commercial traffic and of course more light houses....trying to push to avoid a long weather delayCool and little foggy......... good radar

The captain in his sweater........a little different from the weather we left behind in the Keys and the Bahamas...........but well worth if for all of the rich history and sights!Cape May, NJ - Lewes, DE ferries...After a long day on the water we still try to cram all the sights into one day...as an interesting and quaint small town Cape May is actually the nations' oldest seaside resort....and still charming
Cool dog likes his sunglasses...

Sorry for the fuzzy picture but I had to try and show Jerry enjoying his favorite meal....steamed crabs you crack, pick and eat....complete with brown paper and wooden mallets....nothing like beer and crabs!!
