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...

Onward to Venice via the Gulf! My first experience with rolling waters, thousands of crab pots and a few possessions thrown about besides us! We arrived at the Marina ...great bike ride to town...
beautiful old trees and more quaint shops! Dinner was tasty at the Crows Nest..well known for the stone crab and grouper...we approved! Diesel was the best yet at 2.29...we are loving that! And the most memorable bump yet....a little cracked swim platform and a missing exhaust cover...and so goes boating...$$$$$$$$....
