Everything we’ve read about the Great Loop tells us to keep it flexible. Don’t try to stick to a schedule – take it one day at a time. Well, I guess that applies to your departure date as well!
We planned to depart April 1, then delayed to April 18. Looks like we are not leaving today either! We have our star mechanic, Frank, checking out our new generator. Once that is up and running, we are ready to go.
We will keep you apprised! And special thanks to Frank for all of his help!
This past Sunday our boat ‘Sunshine’ received her bon voyage blessing from Father Richard Moran. Fr. Richard hails from Boston and has been a visiting priest at St. Joan of Arc, our parish in Boca Raton, for the past two years.
Special thanks to our friends Denise and Tom Elia who joined us. Father brought holy water from Lourdes. The red Solo cup I’m holding was all I had on the boat to pour it in for sprinkling. -:)
Below our two videos of the occasion – special thanks to our videographer, Denise! Now we pray for our departure date – April 18.
We are Pat and Cindy McLaughlin who are travelling the Great Loop on our 34′ trawler, “Sunshine.” If you are not familiar with the Great Loop, check it out here:
