Gold Looper/Route Briefing Combined
This session covers what you need to know to plan for and safely cruise the spectacular 2,700-statute mile route known as the Down East Loop. The route takes you through the Canadian Maritimes; New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, as well as the coast of New England and New York.
Dave and Claudia sold their home, bought a boat, had an estate sale, retired, and then moved aboard Still Waters II in June of 2015. Their initial quest was to do the Loop one time and find a home along the waterway. They completed the Loop in February 2017, notching 9,950 miles travelled, but failed to find a home. This necessitated a second Loop. The Platinum Loop was completed in January 2019 but again they failed to find a home. Putting house-hunting on the back burner, they next set off to do the Down East Loop. Figuring their best option for a home was somewhere on the Inland Rivers, they spent 2020 searching the Tennessee River. But, once again, they failed to find a home. In 2021, they decided to take the Ohio River up to Pittsburgh. In 2022, they took the boat to Texas. Still Waters II has been in all 5 Great Lakes, 3 countries (5 providences of Canada), every state east of the Mississippi River and 7 states west of the river. Oh, the quest for a home continues..........
