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...
Eau Gallie
Off we go to Eau Gallie (Indian Beach,Melbourne) ...via the Indian River i
ntracoastal.....Many photo opts along the way.
This one is a photo of what use to be a dragon.....the owners wife wanted it there to ward off evil
spirits....I hear it had a great little bar inside for a while and Warren and some of the locals have been organizing to have it rebuilt....but were delayed ...the property is in
bankruptcy.
Warren and Grace picked us up and dined us at Texas Roadhouse........Great steak.....But fabulous company! We got to visit a little and see their home they custom built....and also have breakfast the next day at their favorite place....they know everyone! And of course everyone loves them...as we do...Thank you! Hope to see ya soon!
