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...

Pete's Pub & Gallery

From Treasure Cay we drove to Little Harbour the home of Pete’s Pub and Gallery. The roads are interesting...winding thru the island. Pete's Pub has long been known as a hotspot.....it was a little quite today......many t shirts hanging all around with signatures of honeymooners, famous people or just vacationers hang from the ceiling and walls.




The art gallery next door is just my dream house....just the rugged style....and lots of wonderful paintings and bronze figurines inside for the collector.

Pete's Pub has that look...someone started putting together remnants as they washed ashore .....the perfect place to gather and have a drink was created.....in the sand and water all around.



Again.....a great day!
