June 14 we left home to start our America’s Great Loop Journey. This first week has prepared us to check out how the boat will perform and how Steve and I can handle each other on a 350 square feet of moving house on the water.
Below is the map of our first week of travel. Actually the Rhode Island and Connecticut are not part of the loop but on the 7th day, we reached the Statue of Liberty which we would consider the official start of our loop.
Here are some pictures of this week’s adventure.
