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 4, 2011 . . . Clayton, New York
Our second visit to Clayton placed us on the same dock we visited before.
We had a snack at Bella's, then dinner, then lunch. A great place to eat and watch "The River", the St. Lawrence.
Just across the river from Bella's is the remains of the castle built by Charles Goodwin Emery, who, amoung other things, was the developer of the cigarette rolling machine.
One of the highlights of the stop in Clayton is the River Rat Cheeze. Bonnie has made her selections and we are ready to get off to church.
We returned to the River Community Church to find that the minister we liked so much was no longer on the staff; a real disappointment.
Departing Clayton for Gananoque we looked back on Bella's and the crowd that was surely there to send us off . . .
