The most enjoyable part about being back in California is seeing friends and family and reminiscing about this summer's Great Loop Adventure aboard Thistle.
We are frequently asked what was the best part of the trip? And that is very difficult to answer... Here is an attempt:
The adventure of visiting North America together by water...every place we visited this summer was a first time new experience for both of us, it's truly overwhelming...and exhilarating! And at the same time we had to depend and trust each others decisions to survive and be safe (navigating, docking, locking, reading charts, anchoring, communicating, listening to weather reports...etc) while living in tight quarters (believe us, that part is overwhelming...and exhilarating too)!
Over the last few days we agreed on the three best moments of the summer (Not in any order). Anchoring at Bad River in the Georgian Bay and observing the Perseid Meteor Shower on Thistle's Flydeck, Seeing a Black Bear swim right in front of us across Collins Inlet and Watching the sunset while sitting on the Pink Granite Rocks in the Benjamin Islands.
This summer we also had the pleasure of experiencing great comradery with fellow Loopers. It was wonderful to share stories and tips, exchange boating cards, play cards, buddy boat and enjoy a few "Docktails".
Another highlight of the summer was Bill & Carolyn visiting us for three nights aboard Thistle...We appreciate their big effort to meet us in remote Canada to share some of Loop Life :)
And possibly the best part of our summer 2015 was knowing we had so many friends and family traveling with us every day...by following our blog and wishing us well on Looplifewithgregandreenie!
Thanks...XO until next summer :)
