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...
Killarney
Leaving Parry Sound headed toward
Killarney....calm water and we had a nice day for traveling.....as usual lots of opportunities for good photos ....especially of light houses.....
This is just one of the scenes we are seeing most often...just laid back and enjoying nature and life. You know it has made us really think about what is truly important in life......
These "Cottages" are all built on their own island and rock.....really unique.....
As we
approach Killarney we see more boats and here we are...................
The most popular fish and chips lunch spot....this bus...with landscaping even.......13 dollars for 4 pieces of white fish and fries.....
Just amazing church in
Killarney...................we had pretty much seen the city in our 20 minute walk....but then again....everything you need here............
General Store in
Killarney..................
Stop by the liquor store by boat... LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario)....state liquor stores
Marina where we stayed..................
He was enjoying his dinghy ride..................
We are making good time as we head to Chicago for me to head home for a few days......only one night here....but we enjoyed the town. We just wish, as do the locals, that the rain , clouds and cold weather would give in to the summer season.
