Great Loop Adventure COMPLETED!!

Another beautiful travel day, light winds, clear skies and smooth seas.  We are getting close.  Here are some pictures of familiar sights as we travel up the Mystic River!

Morgan Point Lighthouse, now a private residence
Famous Abbott's Lobster
Ford's Lobsters
There it is, our home port - Brewer's Yacht Yard at Mystic - as we proudly fly the new Gold Looper burgee!

See that empty slip to the right of the sailboat?  We are HOME!!
Our immediate plans are to hang out and relax for a bit.  In another week or so, we will drive to Cape Coral, FL to switch cars, leave Bob's car there and return with the car we had purchased in Florida.  We will then get caught up with doctor's appointments and  maybe try and catch up with some Looper friends in the area.

We won't be posting to the blog on a daily basis, but check back periodically, as we will try to keep everyone somewhat updated as to our continuing travels.  It's been quite a ride and we have enjoyed the previous year immensely.  Sadly, we will miss the daily contact and camaraderie of other Loopers on the journey.
