People who do the Loop are called Loopers and we’ve been patiently waiting all summer to meet some. One boat arrived at the beginning of the week and stayed a couple of nights waiting for the weather to clear. We visited with them briefly and then they were gone. They said there were many boats behind them – and yesterday some of them arrived!

Two Looper boats are on our dock and at least three other boats are on other docks in our marina. We joined them for docktails yesterday ( that’s what Loopers call happy hour) and enjoyed hearing about their trips. There were boaters from OH, VT, FL, CT, and MD – and boats of all shapes and sizes. It made us even more anxious to get this adventure started!

I realized as I got ready to post something tonight that I took no pictures of docktails nor did I get any pictures of anything we’ve been doing for the past two days. I need to work on my photography skills 😊

I’ll end with a beautiful sunset I captured a couple of days ago –
