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...
Hilton Head
These are pictures that I took during the ride from Jacksonville to Hilton Head. I was by myself on the water in the Atlantic for about 7 hours so I to
ok pictures of myself, t
he instruments, the
buoys, and passing boats on the way to Hilton Head.
I docked the boat at Harbour Town right in the center of Hilton Head. Great spot... Jay arrived from Knoxville and we had dinner with Denny and Chris, freinds from the Bahamas that live in Hilton Head. Shame on me for not getting pictures of them... Jay and I left Hilton Head Friday AM an went outside to Charleston, about a 100 mile trip.
