Updated Itinerary

After attending the America's Great Loop Cruising Association (AGLCA) rendezvous in Charleston and carefully studying the exploits of Bill & Ruth Donovan and Gail & Matt Jenkins, we have updated the itinerary (on the right - under the video clips). This is an interactive spreadsheet that you can add your name to the date/place that you would like to join us on the trip. Remember, this is still just a guidline and is subject to the weather and other potential problems that might pop up along the way, so check back frequently as we will update as we go along.

We are now planning to depart here on June 14th and head for North.

The genset has been serviced and is ready to go, but the Cummins still needs to have a rear bearing replaced. That will happen on May 12th, and then the boat will be ready to go.

Things have been very hetic with the AGCLA Redezvous, studying for my captain's license (passed the exams last week), and packing things up so we can rent the house during our trip. It is a good thing I retired, or we would never be able to get everything done in time - still might be pushing it.

We keep track of other folks on the loop and their latest oo's and ah's regarding places and people they have visited. That always gets us back on track. Can't wait to get out there an join them.

All the best,
