One year ago, we left Westport, MA to start America’s Great Loop! Three Hundred and Sixty Six (yes a leap year) days later and 5,658 Nautical Miles later, we are still talking to each other! We have made 167 stops with an average speed of 7.1 knots.
Other Stats:
- on anchor 18% of nights
- on a mooring 11% of nights
- docked 63% of nights
- on ‘the hard’ 8% of nights
- 3 countries
- Northernmost stop: Turnbull Island, ON
- Southernmost stop: Georgetown, Bahamas
- biked over 500 miles
- 126 locks
- 2,074 gallons of diesel (roughly)
- 79 breweries
- 1 Urgent Care visit
- 1 furry friend break-in
We have come to appreciate the boating community, kindness of strangers, bike paths, crosswalks, each other, new friends, google reviews! We miss our friends and family terribly and have developed a strong annoyance of spiders and the webs they spin.
