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.

November 5-9, 2011 . . . Up the Little Tennessee and Tellico Rivers
After our return to SONATA from Nashville, Jonathan and Brandi joined us for an afternoon cruise up the Little Tennessee and Tellico Rivers. We returned to the Ft. Loudon Marina to let them go home, spent the evening, and then left the next day for several days up the Little Tennessee and Tellico Rivers.
Up the Little Tennessee and Tellico Rivers, a reportedly exclusive area, there are many, many, HUGE houses . . . retirement homes. The size and number of houses reduce greatly after mile 19.5 and the waters return to countryside beauty uncluttered by man.
The view from the rivers of the Smokey Mountains in the background . . . are breath-taking. This is a small collection . . .
The pictures cannot capture what we see in the 360 degree view, but we keep on taking more pictures.
The restoration Ft. Loudoun Fort ...
And SONATA leaves the Little Tennessee for the Tennessee and on to Knoxville.
