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 19, 2011 . . . Back to Canada; Orillia to the Georgian Bay
Proceeding West from Orillia to Port Severn.
Our evening arrival at the "Big Chute" places SONATA first in line for a lift in the early morning. The travel-lift will take SONATA from one waterway over the roadway and back into the water.
Up over the roadway, then on the way down, down into the water on the West side . . . next stop Port Severn and the Georgian Bay.
We traveled through narrow passages and look everywhere for wildlife, in particular a moose. This was the only one we saw.........
Out of the Port Severn Lock, the last of the Trent-Severn Waterway and Lock System . . . into the Georgian Bay.
