The day to starting of the Great Loop is fast approaching,

But at the end of March you had to use your imagination as several snow storms reasserted a hold on winter

But none the less the weather is slowly turning and even the docks at Great Bay Marina in Portsmouth NH are going in. We store the boat here and will leave from here. Located up the Piscatagua River six miles, normally we get to the mouth of the river and turn left to Maine. It will be very strange to make a right turn and head south toward NYC and the Hudson River

Have been working on the boat for some time - most inside cabin projects hoping the weather warms up.

We have set our boat launch date of May 10

Planned departure day is Sunday May 20 - if the weather so allows

The COUNT DOWN begins.
