Trip So Far

End of Day 84:

  • 39 Travel days
  • 35 locks
  • 2200 miles
  • 1280 gals of fuel (includes fuel used by generator)
  • Spent 5 days at a wonderful conference totally dedicated to doing the Great Loop
  • Key Learnings:
    • Because we like to travel at 10 to 11 mph, some Loopers consider us a "fast" boat
    • The river scenery in Alabama is not very interesting
    • Rain storms in this area create a war zone of debris to navigate through
    • Had to repair a prop due to hitting underwater metal bracing while going into a dock - need to always ask dock masters how their docks are built
    • Loopers get going early in the morning and Looper midnight is 9:PM!
