Though we left our home port on April 15th, we began the Loop portion of the trip on June 1st when we left New York Harbor. Today, August 31, 2010 at 2:05 PM, we “crossed our wake”; we have officially completed the Down East Circle Loop!!! Hallelujah! It was quite an emotional time as we exited the East River and again saw Lady Liberty standing tall over New York Harbor. So far, we have traveled 3505.5 nautical miles or 3,961.215 statute miles. What an adventure it has been!
Next adventure: Avoid Hurricane Earl
We have both satellite TV and XM Weather on the boat so we are keeping a close eye on this Category 4 storm. Our plan is to cruise to Cape May, NJ on Wednesday then to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor on Thursday, via Delaware Bay, the C & D canal and the upper Chesapeake Bay, in order to be in protected water. We are hoping that Earl will mind his manners and stay far away from the East Coast.

Hope you 'weathered the storm' safely and well. Congratulations on so many wonderful accomplishments and fun posts!
