Passport Goes for the Gold...............Flag that is.

As many before us, John and Mary aboard Passport completed our Great Loop Adventure by crossing our wake Sunday, August 12 at 11:45am and returning to our home port of Mackinaw City, MI.  We have been gone for 360 days and traveled just over 7,000 miles.  One of the most frequently asked questions has been "What is the best part of the Loop?".  We both agree that while we have seen some FANTASTIC sights, by far the best part has been all the wonderful people we have gotten to know over the past year.  We will surely miss the almost daily contact with fellow Loopers, not to mention the evening get-togethers.

Here are our Loop Statistics:

Days Traveled     360

Miles Traveled   7,020
Fuel Used 2,970 

Engine Hours      927

Marina Nights       291

Park City Nights 8

We will add final pictures and each of our reflections of the past year in a week or so.  We are at the cottage and Christy and the grand kids are due any minute.  We are going to sit back watch the kids play and just watch the boats pass by in front of the cottage for the next week.

The kids just arrived,

Later
