SONATA commenced the Great American LOOP for the third time May 21, 2015, and, crossed her wake, completed the third adventure May 18, 2016. This Blog is that story. SONATA's Second Loop was from May 19, 2011, to May 7, 2012. Captains Charlie and Bonnie Burke aboard their Grand Banks 42 started their FIRST Loop May 25, 2007, and, after 3 countries, 18 states, and some 8,000 miles the trip was completed by returning to homeport, Ocean Marine in Portsmouth, VA, May 24, 2008.

May 23, 2011 . . . Chesapeake City, MD to Cape May, NJ
To insure you move with the tides and current, an early departure is necessary to traverse the canal and the Delaware Bay.

Some days you should stay home . . . oops, we are home, but maybe the expression works. The Delaware was a very rough ride. The microwave made a destructive dive and the anchor tried to escape. The microwave became trash and the anchor was secured aboard.
And then there was the final arrival at Cape May, Utches' Marina ... and then the night and a beautiful morning to erase the pain of the prior day.
