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.

July 6, 2011 . . . Youngs Point to Buckhorn
At Youngs Point we enjoyed having Don and Theresa, GREAT ESCAPE, join us for dinner.
On our way to our next stop, Buckhorn, we passed the anchorage location that had been planned as a standby. It is just off Juniper Island in Stoney Lake. Departing that location we passed . . .
. . . St. Peter's Church on the Rock . . .
. . . and the church parking lot. On our way out departing this area a number of pictures were taken for the memory . . .
. . . On with our trip to the Lovesick Lock.
At Lovesick a houseboat goes broadside in the lock in front of GREAT ESCAPE. The houseboats are hard to manage and most persons on the houseboats have little if any experience on the water . . . a hazard.
After lunch in Buckhorn we relaxed with GREAT ESCAPE in the park next to our "homes" at the lockwall. The chipmunk appeared and was a cute fellow to watch.
