Tuesday, November 20

Beach outside our condo on Hutchinson Island - Jensen Beach, FL
A few closing "factoids" about The Great Loop:
White Label travelled about 6,354 miles over 120 days on the water.  We passed through 152 locks,
 2 countries (U.S.A. & Canada),  2 provinces (Quebec & Ontario), 19 states (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware,  New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee,  Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama)
and more lakes & rivers than we could keep track of.  Including return trips to Iowa & Colorado, our sojourn took 232 days in total and more gas than you want to know.
The Great Loop was truly an experience of a lifetime.  We knew it would be both challenging and fun - it far exceeded our expectations.
In closing & taking liberty with the Jimmy Buffet song "Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes"  ......... "Reading the postings in White Label Sojourns reminds us of the places we've been.  Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure, makes us want to go back again.  But yesterday's over our shoulders, so we can't look back for too long.  There's just too much to see waiting in front of us and we known that we just can't go wrong .......... With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same - with all of our running and all of our cunning - if we couldn't laugh we just would go insane" ......  Being Loopers was a blast ................. what's next?
