Epilogue

This was a wonderful trip — not the start of the Great Loop that we originally planned — but, a great trip never-the-less.  As Linda continues to explain to others: we set out for an adventure, and boy, did we have one — just not the one we were anticipating, which made it all the more fun to experience! Having the openness and flexibility to experience it as it came was a remarkable gift to each other. The scenery was beautiful, the people were personable, and the weather for the most part, was great. We learned much more about the United States and Canadian history during our revolutionary war and the war of 1812. With our companion — the brick —we learned more about church history as well. Of course, we became more knowledgable about our boat and boating; to include locks, bridges, navigation, trip planning considering tides, currents, wind, rain, distance, and fuel consumption. In addition, Linda proved that traveling with a “disability” is a not as hard as we initially thought. In her case, we just needed a little more attention to our meal planning. We completed the Triangle Loop. The Great Loop may be in our future — or not. We have so many adventures beckoning it is too early to tell what we will try next.
