We decided to keep Panacea at the Orange Beach Marina in Alabama. We had accepted an offer in October to sale the boat to a couple in California with the condition we complete our journey, close by the end of January, and end up in Orange Beach. This was great for us because the renters in our house were leaving the middle of January and that would be perfect with the boat sold and moving back into our house. We rented a car for a month to get around the area and drive back to California for the Christmas holidays to see family and friends. We drove so we could bring Chloe back with us and not have to put her in the baggage compartment on a plane or in a kennel for a month. We had a wonderful time back at our home town but not enough time to see everyone. It was great watching our Grandchildren open their gifts under the tree on Christmas morning. For New Year's we drove down to Southern California to celebrated my Dads 90th birthday. He said he wanted to jump out of an airplane for his 90th as George H did on his, but thankfully decided not to at the last minute. We also left Chloe with my sister and her farm of animals including fours dogs that are Chloe's buddies, while Jan and I drove back to the boat to pack up everything. We decided to take the route that was further North so we could stop in Albuquerque to see my Cousin and Aunt and in Memphis to see one of our first boating friends we met on the loop, Mike and Lois from "Inch'in Along". We arrived back in Orange Beach around the 10th of January. We stayed on the boat for a month while we continued packing up things and move back home. The new buyers had the engine surveyed, which went well and the next step was for everyone to be here for the boat survey in about a 10 days. Couple days after the engine survey, as we were packing, the phone rings and it's our broker telling us the buyer had a heart attack, which required a stint, and no longer would be purchasing the boat. We thought things were going to perfect without something happening. Murphy's Law! We decided to head on home anyway and leave the boat in Orange Beach and hope it would sell soon. It was really hard to walk away from her after the adventure she took us on and keeping us safe. On the way back home we stopped in the Phoenix area and visited old friends from our pre children days, Chris and Linda. We didn't have enough time to get caught up after some forty years. Hope to see them again soon.<br />

We've been back home now since February but before we moved back in we had the house painted inside and new carpet, travertine and hardwood floors installed. It's been great back home seeing all our friends and family on a regular basis but miss not having Panacea close by. To give you all an idea of our 18 months on Panacea here are a few statistics we tracked along the way. We traveled a distance of 7,319.1 miles from the time we left Tower Park Marina in Lodi. We transited a total of 152 locks, went under or had opened 600 bridges, visited 20 states and two Canadian Provinces.<br />
<br />
We lived the dream of a lifetime and met so many friends as we completed our top bucket list journey.<br />

</div>
The day after we arrived in Mobile our good friends Mike and Debbie flew into New Orleans, rented a car and came to spend some time with us on the boat including crossing our wake. The plan was to stay here in Mobile until the 14th and head down to South Mobile Bay and turn left back into the ICW and stop at Lu-Lu's for Jan's birthday party and crossing our wake. However, the weather had another idea so we were forced to leave early. We left on the 12th of Nov. and had a great ride through the bay. We decided to go to "The Wharf" and then take the boat to Lu-Lu's on the 14th. The Wharf is only about 3 miles past Lu-Lu's. We crossed our wake at channel marker 124 heading into the ICW. This is where we intersect when we crossed through Mobile Bay last January and coming down the bay from the North at Mobile. We finished our adventure of America's Great Loop. We had many emotions as we finished what started from our home port of Lodi, CA in August of last year, taking Panacea down the Pacific Coast to San Diego, loading her on a truck to Seabrook, TX and starting the journey of our life. Our next blog will be a summary of our adventure with some stats and some of our favorite memories.<br />

We always try to anchor in a dog friendly environment for Chloe. The next day after taking Chloe for a pump out we headed to Demopolis for a two day rest before the four day trip to Mobile. There were several loopers there with the same idea. The marina had a courtesy car so several of us went out to dinner. When we left Demopolis on 11/7 arrangements were made with the lock, that was about two miles down the river, so we could get through without delay. Turned out eleven boats left at 6:15 to lock thru. This was our LAST LOCK we would have to go through on the loop!!! We along with three other boats anchored for the night before heading to Bobby's Fish Camp, the only place to tie up with power in the four day trip. We arrived on the 8th at Bobby's which only has a dock for about four boats to tie up and everyone else side ties to those boats. We had a total of six boats. We also had a crossing the wake party for Attitude Changer (Barb and Ross) who officially went to Bobby's from Mobile for their sea trail a year earlier. We left the fish camp on 11/9 and headed to another anchorage about 80 miles. It was a very nice place but I had to take Chloe about a mile and a half for her pump out. We left next morning after the fog lifted for our final day on the Tombigbee and all the rivers and locks we have been on since leaving Chicago. We arrived at Dog River Marina in Mobile on 11/10 and celebrated our accomplishment. By-the-way, we went through 152 locks since leaving Texas.<br />

A large portion of the Tenn-Tom is man made and and was completed in 1985 and flows from the Tennessee River to Mobile, Alabama. The journey down the Tenn-Tom-Tom is 450 miles and has 11 locks. Our first stop was Midway Marina in Fulton, MS traveling 56 miles and going through three locks. Because of a late start due to heavy fog and a delay in the 3rd lock for Tow traffic, we did not arrive in Fulton until 6 pm. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The next day we were delayed by fog again and had another late start. We went 36 miles and through 3 locks to Aberdeen Marina in Aberdeen, MS. A cold front came through and it was extremely windy when we docked at the marina. We somehow ended up with a unplanned Halloween party on our boat. That night the temperature got below freezing. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">On Saturday, 11/1, we left for Columbus Marina in Columbus, MS. It was a short run - only 23 miles but very windy and cold. We decided to bundle up and stay two nights to wait for it to warm up.</span><br />

It's two hundred miles up and took four days. Our stops were Ditto Marina in Huntsville, Goose Pond Marina in Scottsboro, AL, a free dock at the Shellmound Recreation Area and we went through two locks. Another reason we wanted to go up the Tennessee River is the changing of the fall colors of the foliage. We made it to Chattanooga with no problems and picked up the rental car as soon as we arrived. We had tickets to visit the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday, 10/21/14. Early next morning we all left and after arriving in Nashville we dropped Chloe off at Dog Topia. We don't like to leave her, but made sure it was a top quality facility. We were even able to watch her on a webcam during her play time with the other dogs. We stayed for a while to make sure she would be okay and then we all went downtown to check out Nashville. If you want a pair of cowboy boots or need a place to eat or drink, this is the place for you. We went to the Wild Horse Saloon and ordered lunch and took some good pictures of the horses. We then checked into our hotel and got ready for our night at the Grand ole Opry. We saw several groups including Del Rio, Lee Greenwood, and Keith Urban. What a fantastic show! Next day we picked up Chloe, who was really happy to see us, and headed back to our boats with a side trip to the Jack Daniels Distillery. The history of this place is really interesting. A couple of interesting fact is the county the distillery is located is a dry county. You can not buy alcohol anywhere except the distillery! The town of Lynchburg has a population of 400 and Jack Daniels employs 300. Next day Jan and I went into the town of Chattanooga and walked to the Chattanooga Choo Choo. I'm sure everyone over sixty has heard that expression. At one time it was a train terminal that most trains traveling south went through Chattanooga. Now the train terminal is the hotel lobby and most of the rooms are half of a rail car they turned into a room. We found the city of Chattanooga was full of restaurants and a lot of things to see and do. The next day we headed back to Aqua Yacht Harbor in reverse order of our previous blogs.<br />

For us it's more of a social event since the conference covers the portion of the loop from there to Norfolk, VA. Since we have completed most of it all ready it was fun seeing a lot of loopers we met along the way that we haven't seen for awhile. The trip to Joe Wheeler is up the Tennessee River and is a two day trip. We left Aqua on the 10th of October and our first stop is Florence Alabama and the next day is only 20 miles, but we have to go through two locks. We arrived at Joe Wheeler on the 11th and we will be leaving the 17th. The rendezvous was great and everyone had a good time. We met up with Jack and Patti, we first met when we were in Seabrook, TX. They are starting their loop from Mobile this January. We'll see them again when we get down there in a few weeks. We have decided to take a side trip when we leave here and continue up the Tennessee to Chattanooga.<br />

I can see why Elvis is worth more dead than alive. It was $42.00 per person for only the tour of the house. It was more it you wanted to see the car museum or his private jets, or the movie theater. They also charged $10.00 to park in the parking lot. We went on a Monday and it was crowed. After seeing the house I can only imagine what it must have been like to be there back in the day. Meanwhile back here at the boat we have been doing some polishing and extra cleaning to get the boat looking good for the up coming rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park in Alabama. If you recall a past post in May we attended the one in Norfolk and now it's the fall rendezvous put on by America's Great Loop Cruisers Assoc. <br />

There was at least 40 looper boats there. Everyone was staying for at least a week but we decided to spend our week in Pickwick Lake where three states meet, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. We left Green Turtle on Thursday the 25th of Sept. and headed South on the Tennessee River / Kentucky Lake to our first destination of Pebble Isle Marina in the town of in New Johnsonville TN. We spent the night and were off in the morning for Clifton City Marina in Clifton, TN. Still on a mission to get to Pickwick we left again early in the morning and headed to our final destination of Aqua Yacht Harbor on Pickwick Lake in Mississippi. On the last five miles we had to lock through the Pickwick Landing Lock before entering the lake. I must say the Tennessee River is beautiful. After traveling almost 200 miles in three days we were glad to finally arrive and know we had over a week to relax and get some boat stuff done. The Aqua Yacht Harbor has cable TV, Wifi, Pool, two courtesy vans to use anytime and a great view of the lake. I know we're going to enjoy every minute. <br />

We left Grafton around 8:00 am on Wednesday, 9/17 with three other boats. After traveling about fifteen miles we came to the Melvin Price Lock. The locks on these rivers are huge. We locked through with no problem and were speeding down the Mississippi with a 4 to 5 knot current and tons of wood debris, sometimes including whole trees. We arrived at our first and only stop that has a dock and power, called Hoppies. The docks are actually four or five barges tied together. Hoppies is owned by Hoppie himself and his wife, Fern. Hoppie just had his 78th birthday and Fern pretty much runs the place. Every day Fern gives a 4:30 pm informational get together about anchorages, areas to be careful, and any other topics about the river. We did learn quite a bit and I took several notes. The Mississippi River is nothing to take lightly. I have never been on a river with so much force, muddy water, and not to mention the wing dams, chevron dams, and missing channel markers wiped out because of the flood stage and debris. The other thing is it at times looks like it's boiling with whirlpools. I've never seen anything like it before. <span style="line-height: 18px;">Mark Twain said, "The </span><span class="posthilit" style="line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2px 1px;">Mississippi</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> River is too thick to drink and too thin to plough". The next</span> three stops will be anchorages and one lock wall we can tie up to for the night. We left Hoppie's the next day around 10:00 for an easy day to the Kaskaskia River Lock wall. Only us and Attitude Changer spent the night at the wall. A couple other boats came in later but they weren't loopers. Left the next morning for our next anchorage at diversion channel which is a small cut off the Mississippi. Attitude Changer side tied to us and we had four other looper boats come in a few hours later; Navigator, Average Looper, Serinity, and Summerland. Everyone came over to our boat and the drink served was Dirty Pirates. After everyone left we had a nice peaceful night. Next morning all six boats left for the Ohio River. Everyone was excited to get off the Mississippi and be on the Ohio. Once we turned on to the Ohio the water was clean and we were going against the current. The anchorage, recommended by Fern, was right on the Ohio River but off the channel. We rocked a little when a tow went by but it was good holding and close to the shore to take Chloe by dinghy. We all left at 7:00 am the next morning, 9/21, for a very long day of 70 miles and two locks to go through. All I can say is it was a real challenge, because before we arrived at the anchorage on the Ohio, my lower helm steering seals blew and hydraulic fluid was all over and I had to steer the boat with the throttles. If you have been following our blog you probably remember this happened on the upper helm while in Canada. Luckily I learned from that and had an extra seal kit in stock. So I used the throttles all 70 miles to steer to our destination of Green Turtle Bay. There are two ways you can go, one is the Tennessee River and the other is 20 miles more on the Cumberland River. When we called the lock at the Tennessee they said we could be there for several hours before we could go through so we all decided to go the Cumberland. The Cumberland was a small river and basically no barge traffic. After eleven hours we all finally got here at Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers, KY. YEAH!!!!!<br />

So while we're here with about 38 other looper boats we stocked up on groceries, and supplies to last us for a while. Once we start down the Mississippi, Ohio, and Cumberland River there is no place to stay with any power except for a place called Hoppies which will be our first stop. The marina here is very nice with a restaurant, swimming pool, covered slips, and a courtesy car for running around. It will take us four days to get to Green Turtle Bay Marina on Barkley Lake in Kentucky. We should be leaving on Wednesday, 9/17 and get there on Sunday the 21st. We will not have Wifi or little cell service the until then.<br />

It had rained that night and many of the looper boats decided not to go until the next day. Little did they know the next day the weather was much worse. We got thru the lock with no problem and made it to Peoria at the Illinois Valley Yacht Club for a two day stay because the weather didn't look good. We had over three inches of rain that night and thru Wednesday. We left Thursday morning with Attitude Changer. The river had risen and there was a lot of debris in the river. There are no marinas between Peoria and Grafton which means we had to anchor out for the night. We traveled about 80 miles but had a great current that pushed us about 10 knots per hour the whole way. We anchored at a spot called Bar Island. After we anchored we launched the dinghy and went over to Attitude Changer for ice cream and the fix in's. Early in the morning I took Chloe on the dinghy to shore to do her thing and after loading up the dinghy we took off around seven. Another 80 mile day but with the current we were flying. We finally arrived in Grafton after dodging tons of debris in the river around 3:30 pm. There were all ready some 25 looper boats here waiting for the go signal to go down he Mississippi River because of the large amount of debris and high water. So I guess we'll just wait like everyone else. The good news is Navigator and Average Looper are here and invited us over Friday night with Attitude Changer for Tortilla soup and the fix in's. We brought over some salmon. From what I know there are now 38 looper boats here and maybe as many in Alton, about 10 miles down stream and more across the river in Saint Charles. Soon as conditions improve look out because here we come! As a side note here at the Grafton Harbor Marina they have a pool, courtesy car, great store, and the Big Kahuna restaurant. Not a bad place to be for awhile.<br />

Sunday, 9/7/14, Angela and Dave met us at the boat around 7:30 am and we headed out for our trip to Joliet. The first thing you do is go thru the Chicago Lock and that puts you on the Chicago River going down the middle of downtown Chicago. One of the requirements to go down the river is you can not be any higher than 17 1/2 feet. We are 16 feet so it we made it with no problem. It is a real trip taking your boat down the middle of Chicago. We also had Dane and Angela with us who did a architicure tour for us of the various buildings. Once you get out of the downtown area it starts to turn more industrial and then more and more commercial barge traffic. One area we had to go thru was the electric field in the river to keep the invasive specifies, Asian Carp, out of Lake Michigan. These fish jump out of the water as you go by and can be hazardous if you are in an open small boat. We were making great time for our destination of Joliet when we finally reached our second lock called the Lockport Lock and saw several looper boats tied up to the wall waiting for their turn. We tied up with them and ended up wiring for five and a half hours before we could go through. Remember, commercial traffic has priority. We finally arrived in Joliet at 6:30 pm and met up with Attitude Changer and with all the boats we were with from the lock, filled up the wall in Joliet. We went over to Harrah's Casino across the river and ate at the buffet. After dinner we said our goodbyes to our friends form Chicago, Angela and Dane, who walked over to the train station a couple of blocks away to head back home. Next morning at 6:15 am we were awakened to knocking on our door to find out if we didn't leave in the next 15 minutes if we leave now we wouldn't be able to lock through at the next lock for at least a couple of more hours later. So we rushed off and made it in time, only problem the second lock we came to we waited for three and half hours. We anchored out while waiting and Attitude Changer side tied to us. We arrived in Ottawa around 4:30 and stayed for a couple of days. We stayed at Heritage Marina that had a courtesy car we took advantage of to do our laundry, have lunch and do some sight seeing. <br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">We arrived at the downtown DuSable Marina on 8/31/14 on Sunday of Labor Day weekend. It was an awesome sight of the Chicago skyline and there were many boats enjoying the long weekend. We pulled in and decided to go to the Navy Pier and have lunch. Navy Pier is a big tourist trap to visit with many shops and restaurants. Turns out this was a bad decision as the dense crowds made walking difficult so you can imagine how many people were waiting for tables in restaurants!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The next day we reconnected with Dane and Angela whom we haven't seen since we met five years ago in Washington State. We originally met them at a hotel we were staying at the night before we took our Alaska cruise with Debbie & Mike, Bruce & Marcia, and Dreama & LeRoy. We have kept in touch with them through Facebook. They looked wonderful and are expecting their first child next month. They took us to the grocery store, Best Buy, and let us come to their home to meet their dogs, Wrigley and Max, do our laundry, AND treated us to dinner. Again, thanks so much Dane & Angela.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Tuesday morning, 9/2, we were able to reconnect with our looper friends Barb & Ross on Attitude Changer. We hadn't seen them for 2-1/2 months as we went the route of Lake Champlain and they took the Erie Canal route when we all went into Canada. It was so good to see them. Later that day our friends David & Susan flew in from California to visit for four days. We had a wonderful time visiting and touring Chicago with them. Wednesday we all went on a double decker bus to tour downtown Chicago and ate at Ed Debevic's, a restaurant atmosphere much like Dicks Last Resort in San Diego. Next day David, Susan, Jan and I went on a entertaining "gangster" tour. It was fun to hear all about the early mobsters, including Al Capone. We topped off the afternoon with visiting the 96th floor of the Hancock Building, had adult beverages, and enjoyed the view. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Sunday, 9/7, Dane and Angela joined us again to say goodbye to Lake Michigan and Chicago as we begin heading south, cruising the river system. </span><br />

We did get away from Saugatuck early in the morning and headed to Michigan City, Indiana. We had to go there because it's an easy jump to Chicago of about 35 miles and because we can say we were in one more state. We reconnected with Average Looper, Mark and Jane and spent the next day at the Factory Outlet stores just a few blocks away. Next day Jan went on the bus with them to the Walmart store, exciting! You know a lot of what we do is laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and Walmat. Average Looper and us left early on Sunday morning and headed to Chicago. They were going to another marina to meet Navigator, Jan and Tom, and we were going to the DuSable Marina in downtown Chicago. Our friends Dave and Susan are flying in from California to meet and stay with us for the week.<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">On 8/23/14 we left Pentwater for Grand Haven, MI. When we were in Charlevoix we met Captain Jim of Change Order, a 63 foot Sea Ray. He recommend we stay at his home port, Holiday Isle Marina, while visiting Grand Haven. The Holiday Isle Marina is located on Spring Lake and there is a Holiday Inn attached to the Marina. The first night we were there a live band was performing on the boat next to us! Saturday night party on the dock!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">When we found out the Holiday Inn was pet friendly we decided to get off the boat for a night. We enjoyed a nice looooong shower; not worrying about how many times we flushed the toilet; slept in a king sized bed and enjoyed having TV and being able to watch the 49ers beat the Chargers! What can be better than that! On Monday, 8/25 after a morning of rain, thunder and lightening we decided to check out the town of Grand Haven once the weather system had passed. We had a nice lunch in Grand Haven and toured the 6 blocks of downtown.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Tuesday, 8/26, we left for Saugatuck. Once again Change Order Jim had suggested we stay at the Ship N Shore Motel/Botel! Saugatuck is a great little town with lots of shops and restaurants. Wednesday there was a band in the park playing all varieties of music. Wish we could stay longer but the Labor Day traffic was coming to town starting Thursday. So, we will be off to Michigan City, Indiana!</span><br />

We did stay an extra day in Charlevoix because one of the loopers we traveled with sent an email and said they were coming into Charlevoix to celebrate a birthday. Turns out they didn't leave the next day from where they were because of visibility. So we surprised Todd one more time at breakfast in the morning and finally said our goodbyes. Back at the boat, we did our final preparations for departure early in the morning for a seventy mile destination of Frankfort MI. We left at 7:30 am and had a beautiful glass water trip the whole way. We arrived in Frankfort around 3:30 and the only thing we did was walk to the post office and walk Chloe. I made one of Jan's favorite, patty melts, for dinner and we went to bed early for our next destination, Pentwater. We left at 8:00 am and again had glass water but heavy fog. Fog is a good thing on Lake Michigan because that means no wind which means no waves. I love my Garmin radar and could see anything in the way. The fog finally lifted and we pulled into Pentwater around 3:00. Everything is within walking distance and we walked with Chloe the whole six blocks of the town and bought a few things along the way. Leaving tomorrow for Grand Haven.<br />

I should have accounted for the wind which was blowing into our starboard side which made me think I was listing because of fuel. Anyway I screwed up. Oh well, it won't happen again. We left Mackinac Island on the 17th and headed for Charlevoix, one of Jan's bucket list items. Charlevoix is the home to a renowned artist by the name of Todd Warner. If you ever been to our house you would know of the art sculptures of the whimsical artwork thoughout our house. We also have brought some pieces with us including the first one we bought call "Blueberry". Blueberry is a giraffe that has a bird sitting on the top of his mouth. When we moved onto the boat somehow the small bird didn't make it and Jan has been determined ever since to have him replaced. Since she has been in contact with him throughout our trip he said he would make a new bird for her Blueberry. When we arrived on Sunday he met us on the boat and we developed a friendship that I'm sure will last. We all went out to dinner that night and met for breakfast in the morning. He helped make arrangements for Chloe to get groomed and introduced us to a good friend, Justin, that is working with him to develop a website and promote his work. On Tuesday he picked us up and drove us to get Chloe groomed and invited us to his home and studio in the Michigan country. His house is on twenty acres in an absolutely beautiful setting. While we were talking in his studio he was making one of his creations from clay like it was nothing! He showed us his house and took us wherever we had to go for errands. If you read this, go to Facebook and search Todd J Warner and become friends. Here's a fact, if you have ever watched the movie "Up" the bird called "Kevin" is actually one of his creations that he never got recognition. Thank you Todd for everything and hope to see you again soon. We were going to leave this morning but decided to speed and extra day. We also found out our boating looper companions for such a long time "Limelight" came in and we had docktails last night. Tomorrow off to Frankfort.<br />

We were doing fine for a while as we noticed the wind picking up and the waves now maybe three feet. No big deal, the boat was handling it fine and the ride was not uncomfortable. After a while longer it was now four footers with an occasional five, so we decided to put Panacea on plain because it was a better ride and we were about 12 miles from the island and wanted to get there quicker. Then as Captain Ron would say "if it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there," and both of our engines shut down and we were dead in the water. I knew immediately we had run out of fuel in the port tank and raced down to the engine room to switch tanks to starboard and try to prime the fuel lines to start the engines. Mean time anything that wasn't tied down was on the floor and flying back and forth, including Jan and Chloe. I must say it is very uncomfortable in a boat in four and five foot waves just tossing you back and forth. Jan thought we were going to tip over and became very anxious even though I tried to reassure her we were fine. After several attempts of starting a engine I found out very soon that my batteries were dead, so I thought. Average Looper and Navigator were about 10 miles away and Jan called them on the VHF and they in turn called the Coast Guard. I was down in the engine room and didn't know all this was going on until I came out and Jan was talking to the Coast Guard on the cell phone. I informed them we were dead in the water and needed a tow into Mackinac Island. Another boat called Untied, that was also at the DeTour marina, had heard the conversation on the radio and changed their coarse and headed to give us any assistance. Meanwhile stuff is still flying all over the place and making a hell of a racket. We got our life jackets on, including Chloe, and waited for help. Untie got to us first and circled until the Coast Guard showed up a little over an an hour after calling them. We were not taking on water and we were not in a life threatening situation, just uncomfortable. When the Coast Guard got to us they dropped off one their men and he, Mike, calmed Jan down and tried to figure out what to do. The boat they brought out was one of those inflatables with the aluminum cabin and two outboards. It only had a towing capacity of 10 tons and I was 12 tons. When going over all that was going on he suggested turning off all our power to the batteries except for starting the engines. That's is when I noticed with all the rocking and rolling going on and when Jan was on the radio she accidentally switched off the engine switches and several others trying to hang on. I went back down into the engine room and started to prime the starboard engine and finally got it going. With one engine we started for Mackinac with Mike onboard and the Coast Guard boat escorting us into the marina. Sooooooo.........here we were at Mackinac Island, one of the destinations of any looper. No motorized vehicles are allowed and the only way to get around is by foot, bicycle, or horse. Since there were a lot of horses the town had that unique smell of what the country was like before the combustable engine. Best way to get around is with the bike. The day we were to leave the lake conditions were 4 to 6 feet with an occasional 8 so we decided to stay an extra day before heading to Charlevoix. Loved Mackinac but way too many tourists.<br />

The customs dock is on Drummond Island Michigan. We had good water conditions through the whole North Channel and arrived at the customs dock around 5:30pm, checked in and pumped out. We then went another hour to DeTour Michigan and met up with our looper friends on Average Looper and Navigator. Mark and Jane on Average Looper made pizza's for everyone and Tom and Jan on Navigator made a special drink called Dirty Pirates. We were glad to be back in the USA after almost two months in Canada. Because of that weather front we all stayed in DeTour for a couple of days. Next day our looper friends made us a steak dinner to celebrate being back together again, if only for a short while. We are going to Mackinac Island and they are going to St. Ignace. Here is a fun fact for you, while we were watching the water go bye we added up our nautical miles to see how far we have traveled since we left San Francisco and the statue miles is 4995.5 miles. Yikes! We also left our home port of Lodi a year ago. Yikes! Yes, we're still married and having fun.<br />

On the way we passed "Larry's Island". Couldn't resist taking a photo here. I would mention Georgian Bay is incredibly beautiful and home to 30,000 islands. It is also part of Lake Huron. Almost everybody seems to have a cottage on a rock with their name on it! While we had the dingy out at Hopewell Bay's anchorage I was able to clean the "mustache" off the hull of the boat.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Next day we left for Bustard Islands. Got there around 1:30 pm and enjoyed another beautiful anchorage.</span><br />

It was a long Canadian weekend celebrating "Citizens Day". Lots and lots of partying on the docks. We had decided to stay in Orillia till after the holiday to avoid long waits at the locks. So we took off Tues, 8/5 and we went through 3 locks and "The Big Chute" Marine Railway. The Big Chute is a railway barge that lifts you out of the water, crosses a road and drops you 58 feet. It was a unique, incredible experience. After the big chute we were excited to go through our last Canadian lock in Port Severn. The excitement was short lived after exiting the last lock into Georgian Bay where the channel markers changed colors. In our confusion, we ran aground, AGAIN, and damaged our port side prop. Luckily there was a marina with a boat lift and we were able to divert our just repaired props that were being delivered elsewhere to where we were staying in lower Starport Marina in Port Severn. The next morning the props arrived at 4 am and we were pulled out, repaired and back in the water by 9 am. We proceeded on to Beausoleil Island where we enjoyed a nice, peaceful anchorage for the night. The next morning, 8/7, we left early in the morning to get a spot at the world famous Henry's Fish Restaurant and Marina located on Frying Pan Island. This island is only accessible by boat or seaplane. We couldn't believe how busy this place was! Many just come for lunch or dinner and leave. Next few days we are anchoring out.</span><br />

The sun is shining and the water is smooth! The beautiful terrain is filled with lush green trees along the bank and within the many small islands scattered along the way. Lake Buckhorn is a very popular area to rent house boats and it is very interesting to watch them maneuver through the locks. Drove right by the quaint touristy towns of Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls. If we weren't so far behind we would have definitely stayed at both of these places. We went thru the narrow Trent canal, aka "the ditch". One of the locks, the Kirkfield Lift Bridge, is the second largest lift lock in North America and we dropped 49 feet. We also went through the concrete half circle historic Canal Lake Arch Bridge which was built in 1905.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Oh, the sun turned to rain when we stopped for the night. That is quite common on East Coast and in Canada as of right now. We went through 8 locks today so it is time to stop for the night and have an adult beverage! Can you tell Jan wrote this one?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">After a quiet night staying at lock 40 we were on our way to Orillia which is only 18 1/2 miles. We crossed Lake Simcoe which is the largest lake on the Trent Severn. Luckily, the water was calm and the winds were light. </span><br />

Wait! Murphy's Law, kicks in and the belt for the generator is the wrong size and after battling the boat with the blood of my thin skin arms I give up and decide to call the Cummins people to find out what part I need. The part number in my manual is what I ordered, but the real part is two inches larger in diameter. I call ahead to Buckhorn Marina and had the new part ordered so when we get there, in a couple of days, it will be there. We left Peterborough around 9:00 am and had to wait at the first lock for about an hour. We finally arrived in Lakefield around 2:00 pm Tuesday after going thru seven locks including the world famous Peterborough Lift Lock. The Peterborough lift lock was completed in 1904 and was the first lock utilizing concrete, not to mention the concept of rising and lower boats in a tub of water. Continuing through to Buckhorn we went by these really cool rock droppings with houses on them. We also passed a church where you have to have a boat to get there. It was really cool. We arrived at the Buckhorn Marina around 3:00 pm on Wednesday and were assigned a shed to stay under. My belt did arrive today and after more bleeding I finally had it installed. We also had some minor canvass work done and are now ready to continue our adventure on the Great Loop. Next stop is Fenelon Falls, Ontario.<br />

We left Kingston early at 7:00 for a 60 mile trip to Trent where the Trent Severn Locks and river begin. We pulled into the Fraser Park Marina and were greeted by the owner Craig. Next day our new starboard prop was delivered and we called diver Dave to come and install the new one and the spare port prop. Diver Dave had a hard time getting the old ones off but finally by 6:30 pm the new ones where on and the old ones were off to the prop shop for repair. We left next day, July 24th, for our first stop after going thru eleven locks, Campbellford, ON. Only thing we did was eat dinner, relax and go to bed. Left the next morning for another long day of 60 miles and seven locks to Peterborough. Peterborough has the worlds highest hydraulic lift lock, rising 65 feet. Now that we have been on the Trent Severn waterway I can say the beauty of the Rideau is still number one. We arrived here in Peterborough around 6:00 pm and expected our packages, one with Jan's meds and one with the belt for the generator, to be waiting for us to pick up. Here goes Murphy's Law again, no packages. Apparently this marina gave me the wrong zip code and they won't be here till Monday. So while we wait I changed the oil and filters on the engines and did all my checks on battery and engine fluids. We should be good to go, with oil changes, until Alabama. <br />

</div>
We left the marina across from Ottawa on the 8th of July and arrived at the bottom of the first of eight step locks of the Rideau that take you up some 85 feet to the city of Ottawa. The locks go right through the middle of the city and lots of tourists come over to watch as you go from one lock to the other. It takes a total of about two hours to complete. Once we got to the top we tied up to the wall for a couple of days to tour the town. We also are now in Ontario where the language goes back to English. If you read our past blogs you'll remember we have a couple banged up props. I called a boat repair facility in Manotick a week earlier and had them order the props I need replaced so when we get there we wouldn't have to wait. We left Ottawa on the 10th and headed to Hurst Marina for our new props. On the way I noticed the upper helm steering was not working. The good news was the steering in the pilothouse was working. We arrived at Hurst and checked in to find that the props had not arrived but would be there that day. Next day I went up to the office and there they were still in the box. They opened the box and of coarse they sent the wrong size. Murphy's Law! After they were on the phone trying to find the correct size it turns out no one in Canada has our size. They did send over a person on Saturday who found the hydraulic system had no pressure so they added air and also pointed out that the upper helm had a small leak, but the steering was restored. We left Sunday morning for Merrickville and planned to stay on the lock wall for the night. When we reached the first lock of the day I went up to the upper helm and hydraulic fluid was everywhere. The seals on the steering shaft had flailed. So instead of the wall at Merrickville we went to Alings Marina and boat yard for repairs. I also ordered a new prop from Virginia where we had our last props fixed and will have it sent to Trent after we visit Kingston. The seal kit came in to Aling's U.S. mailing address and they loaned us their truck for Jan and I to go on a little road trip across the border to pick it up. It was good for us to get off the boat and return to the U.S. even if it was for a short time. They got our pump repaired and we were off on Friday to get as far as possible each day. The goal was to get to Kingston on Saturday. Friday night we spent at the lower lock in Newboro that had no power, but we didn't care because we have a generator, an inverter, and batteries. Murphy's Law took over and the generator belt on the water pump failed and now we can't use the generator. We made it through the night and left in the morning and pulled into the Confederate Basin Marina at 6:30pm. I wish we could have spent more time in the Rideau because it was absolutely beautiful. We ended up staying in two marinas for ten days waiting for repairs when we could of been at any of the several lock walls that all have park like settings. It's nice here in Kingston which was once the capital of Canada. The marina is located directly downtown. I did get a belt ordered for the generator and hopefully it will be in Trent when we get there. We are leaving tomorrow the 22nd and will be at the Fraser Park Marina until everything is fixed.<br />
