Underway for Great Loop #2
Here we are, April 19th 2011 and the Great Loop #2 has offically begun. We left Green Cove Springs on Saturday and took two days to make it to Hooper's Island on the eastern shore of Maryland where GREAT ESCAPE spent the winter. The boat looked very good for being out of the water for 6 months. It is amazing how much "stuff" we move each time we leave or go back to the boat. Just look at the back of the SUV.
The boat was launched on Monday, April 18th. As you can see from the picture below, GREAT ESCAPE takes up most of the sling on the travel hoist.
This morning, with an early underway, we made the 64 nm trip from Hooper's Is. to Pier 7 Marina in Edgewater MD on the western shore (just south of Annapolis) where we will spend a couple of weeks outfitting and doing some last minute maintenance.
