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.

June 20-21,2011 . . . Ottawa to Smith Falls
Leaving Ottawa, headed west toward Kingston with a few stops along the way.
The Petoria Bridge, 10' clearance.
Traveling, locking to the West.
Mel and Jean Thomason aboard their vessel DOVEKIE.
While in a flight of three locks, a fellow on the wall commented that he was a boater but had never gone through any locks. We invited him aboard and he went with us, with SONATA, through the next two locks. We wish Avner Ginsburg well in his boating experiences.
Burritt's Rapids where we remained overnight, 30amp power available.
Our first photographed loon on this trip. Hope to see and hear many more.
The favorites of GREAT ESCAPE and SONATA; Theresa and Bonnie!!!
