Finally, the day has come.  At 9:45 am we cast off our lines at Petzold's Marina in Portland, CT and began our Great Loop Adventure!  Recently, with all the rainy weather, there has been an excessive amount of debris floating down the Connecticut River, however, it must be our lucky day, as the debris was minimal today. 

            Here we are leaving Petzold's Marina
