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...
We Luv St Pete!

This is only a small sample of of what we have been doing since our last post. Egmont Key, Gulfport, Anna Maria Island, Coffee Pot Bayou, Pass-a-Grille, St Pete Boat Show, marine salvage yard, mullet fisherman, Skyway Bridge, sand castles, porpoises, Greater Tuna, market, Christmas parade...
Everyday seems filled with things to do, places to go, and new people. Thanks to Jim and Jorge for all you have done for us. Boat projects and daily boat chores are unending although no major problems so far. Wednesday we leave for Knoxville for a week for an early Christmas with our families. After Christmas Jason and his family will visit, Gary and Elaine for New Years, then we will contine south.
