Views From
the Porthole
America the Beautiful…from sea to shining sea. Ray Charles sings my favorite version, “now wait a minute, I’m talkin’ about America sweet America…”. Listening to his rendition would not be a bad idea as you read about the amazing coastal waters embellished with the views of cities and towns explored along the way.
America’s
Great Loop
The Great Loop is a 6,000 mile continuous waterway starting along the Gulf Intracoastal connecting in Florida with the Atlantic Intracoastal to the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. In New York City the loop continues up the Hudson River to the Erie Canal and the different Great Lakes connected by the Canadian Heritage Canals and then southward on the inland rivers of America's heartland. Anyone who is traveling on the loop is known as a Looper, earning their Gold Looper burgee once they complete the journey.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.”
~ Mark Twain
