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...
Chub Cay
Next stop Chub Cay...southern most Berry Island....This was the most expensive place we have stayed...But just look at the water. The resort was literally a ghost town. Very few people ....the economy has slowed travelers they tell us. The pool was nice...I think the birds enjoyed it the most. .....the ocean was even more spectacular...white sand bottom and starfish every few feet.
Again.....I think maybe one of the prettiest places yet.
Can you ever say " Just another sunset" ....one of the locals had said that to me one day......and she added to that...".and we have them everyday". Think she is missing it all together.......Each one is different....do you have to be from Tennessee to see that?
