Great Loop Journey

Welcome to our new blog. We plan to update our travels as we progress on our Great Loop Journey. We left Legacy Harbor in Ft. Myers, Fl. on March 23 and proceeded to cross Florida. We stopped at Roland Martin Marina in Clewiston for a night at the dock and left the next morning to cross Lake Okeechobee early in the morning before a cold front passed through the area. We then stopped in Stuart to pick up a mooring for several days waiting out the cold front while enjoying the Stuart Municipal Marina and the beautiful downtown area. We anchored out the next night in Melbourne, Fl. and then arrived at Titusville Municipal Marina for a few days to take time to visit Kennedy Space Center. We were fortunate to see the Shuttle on the pad being prepared for the Launch that was to happen on Monday, April 3 at 6:23 a.m. We left Titusville on Sunday, April 2 and proceeded to anchor in Daytona Beach. The next morning we were able to see the launch and saw a spectacular sight. Traveling on the waterway, we arrived in St. Augustine and walked the old streets and enjoyed the history of this wonderful city. The next day, we left St. Augustine and picked up a mooring at Ferandina Beach Municipal Marina. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Brett's on the Water and had a very nice evening. On Wednesday at 2 p.m. we arrived at our friends house in Brunswick,Ga. Cheri and Dick have a beautiful home on the Buffalo River and the best Yacht Club a person could want at their docks! John and Dick played golf and are getting ready to go to Augusta on Sunday to see the Masters! We will continue this blog with entries as we progress on our journey.
