no not that one. In mid January 2016, we are planning to set out on a 5,000 mile year long boating adventure called America's Great Loop. We will basically circumnavigate the eastern part of the US.
We will leave our home port in St. Pete Beach and either travel through Lake Okeechobee (the "Ditch") or down to the Keys and over to the Bahamas for a few weeks. Then cruise up the eastern seaboard through the Inner Coastal Waterway to the Chesapeake, and into the Hudson. Then the Erie and Oswego Canals into Canada and cruise the Trent Severn Waterway. Back into the US via Lake Michigan, the Illinois, Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Then the Tombigbee Waterway to Mobile and finally cross the Gulf back home to St. Pete Beach.
We plan to take a year, but one thing we were told was take one day at a time, be flexible. We will go through over 150 locks, take lots of side trips and meet lots of new friends. We already have 5 couples who plan to cruise a segment of the trip with us.
We hope you will follow us on this once in a life time adventure!
