13 months, 142 locks, 7,000 + Miles, 19 States, 2 provinces, 3 countries….We made it! Circumnavigation of the eastern part of the US, the Great Lakes, The Keys, The Bahamas, The Rideau and Trent-Severn waterways…..Absolutely amazing what you can accomplish one day at a time. We sat down to make a top 10 list of favourites and we couldn’t narrow it down to get even close. The large cities, small towns, wildlife, sunsets and sunrises, the beaches, mangroves, salt marshes, cliffs, mountains, farmlands and the PEOPLE; Boaters at every port welcoming us, locals who stopped to chat, friendly lock operators, patient tow drivers, friends and family who came to visit or followed our blog and last but far from least….. Loopers, with our dinners, docktails, sharing of stories and life experiences. So many great people!!! A special thank you to the America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association who without their help, we would never have considered, tackled and conquered ...
This was our maiden voyage on Red Rover. Captain Rick Stout came to assist and instruct us both…..he was terrific. We we’re both 😎 and yet so excited. Big Day for us; and it went really well. He feels we are ready to head out on our own. Maybe tomorrow!!?? Proud of you honey 🥰 Thanks captain Rick
Richard and Thérèse’s boating adventure has come to an end and what an adventure it has been. Red Rover has been sold and will be heading to her new home in Halifax. ~~~~~~ We are moving into a condo in downtown Stouffville in close proximity to our children and grandchildren. We look forward to what comes next. Thank you for following along; we have enjoyed your comments and questions.
