Belleville was a great town. Enjoyed vinyl night at the local Brewery with Slacker

Celebrated Canada Day for the first time!

Got a little emotional seeing Canada come into view. Can’t believe we got here from Florida. So surreal 🛥️

Current helped us out & we were able to get through 7 locks! Went through our last Erie Canal lock & 6 of the 7 Oswego Canal locks. Evan had special visitors aboard! My dad & step mom joined us in this heat wave 🥵

Got to share the morning with my grandpa! He was the first person to say he wanted to join us on the loop & that was along the Erie Canal. So special!

Grabbed the free walk at Lock 14

Shirt morning cruise before logging on for work on a free walk

Surreal to go through New York Harbor! A little rough out there but we made it work

This was such a milestone for us. From Florida to New York, the last 1,000+ miles have tested our patience, skill, weather reading, stamina & so much more. And I’d do it all again to get here & have this feeling!

First time taking the ocean route in Northern Attitude! Inlets had ripping currents otherwise the cruise couldn’t have been better

Long day but we reached state #8 on the loop. Enjoyed dinner Lobster House!

Our first and only stop in Delaware on the Loop!

Epic early morning cruise

From one ville to the next! Couldn’t have asked for a better morning, especially after yesterday…

Long & sporty day. Tried to tuck in & thread around an island for protection…ended up running aground 🙃 just another day of boating

Went through our first lock on the loop!

5th state on our loop & another new one for the both of us. Calls for some bubbly! 🍾

Docked & Ripley was immediately in the water

We love our morning cruises! Nothing better than moving as the sun rises. Felt like we were against the current most of the time, but nothing could deplete our excitement of making it to Charleston!!

Waved to my grandpa at the tip of Hilton Head where he said, “wave to me at the tip, my thoughts are still there.” The sweetest 🩵
