It's been fascinating following their travels along the Great Loop.

Well done to them.

Yes, great trip, nicely documented. �We had the pleasure of meeting
Doug, Kathie, and the now famous Hank as they looped down the south
western coast of FL. �There is a picture of yours truly on their blog
site as I went down river to meet them with our runabout.

Doug's a good example of the kind of top caliber boater who no longer
bothers participating here. What a shame.

They can be darn proud of their accomplishment. Sort of like checking
something off the "bucket list." Everybody has a few lifetime cruising
ambitions, but not everybody has the time, money, and courage to
realize any of them.
