After 30+ years, we finally started our journey on The Great Loop. This has been our retirement plan for many years and we experienced bumps and starts as when to begin. Upgrading electronics in advance for a test run was one plan. Having the boat break down and having difficulty obtaining parts was not. The final decision was to re-power, requiring another delay (one year). Ultimately that made the most sense. So 2019 became the new target and June 6th was launch date .
We left the Peekskill Yacht Club at 10:30am with the tide to begin our journey – destination Kingston, NY. We had a great send off from members of the club. This was in addition to the wonderful Bon Voyage party they threw for us on 6/4 at the club’s Tiki Bar.
We were overwhelmed with their kindness and good wishes. While the club only has a few slips that can be used for transients, we have hosted “Loopers” in the past and listened to their stories. It is now our time to bring back stories to the club.
