Moving along

Monday, March 24th, 2008

We are moving along ,today I had Gilraker put on the hard. They will be sanding and painting the bottom as well as wax and buff the hull. Johnny Rabon at Hewetts Marine is doing the work here in Holden Beach. We have had him do a lot of work on Grilraker before and have been very happy with his work.

The yellow line on the Great Loop map is the route that we may use, all we know for sure is that we are going north from Holden Beach and south from Canada

America’s Great Loop

The first map shows the routes that can be used doing the Great Loop. You can see how it got its name, it is about 6,000 miles without any side trips. You could spend a lifetime doing all the side trips on the inland rivers and waterways. Second map below
