July 2019
After 10 years (we can't believe it's been that long!) we are getting back out on Geru. We've been planning for this since we came home and had originally thought it would be five years, but the renovations and the cost of living on land greatly delayed things. Over the next months we'll post some older stories of the renovations done to Geru.
So what's the plan ?
This time we are heading down through the center of the US and completing America's Great Loop which we did half of last time. The plan is to leave Ottawa heading south on the Rideau Canal, then along Lake Ontario to the Trent-Severn Waterway which exits into Georgian Bay. We will then work our way through to Lake Michigan and down to Chicago. Then we will take the Illinois River out of Chicago to the Mississippi River. As the Mississippi River gets very commercial and not great for pleasure boats farther south, we will head over to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (via the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers) and then the Tombigbee River until we get to the Mobile River and, finally, come out into the Gulf of Mexico in Mobile, Alabama. From there we'll see where the winds take us...
