This is our first post in preparation for our Great Loop Boat Adventure on our "new" 34 foot motor Yacht , the "Lady Jayne".
What is the Great Loop? It is an inland waterway route which circles the eastern portion of the United States.
Our version of the Loop will start on the west coast of Florida going over to the east coast of Florida , up through New York City, part of the Erie Canal system, crossing Lake Ontario into Canada, staying in Canada until dropping down south into Lake Michigan, and then south to Chicago.
After Chicago we will travel the river systems back to the Gulf of Mexico at Mobile Alabama, making a left turn to do the final leg of the journey ending back home in Cortez Florida.
We will start on March 26th 2011 and complete our Loop around December 1st 2011.
We believe that this will be the "trip of a lifetime", seeing and experiencing wonderful sights as we travel in this unique manner through our scenic country.
Beginning March 26th we will post a message just about every day of the trip. We will answer emails @ rkoehnke1@gmail.com. and phone calls on 941 761 1923.
