Good post. The easy part is to set up a blog, the hard part is to make it interesting so people will visit it…Well done!

Hi Andy and Mary,

I just wanted to mention how much I have enjoyed reading your blog especially as I had the chance to meet you both when we were docked at Oswego.

I hope the blog will remain on-line, as it is a great reference source for those of us who have not yet made the great circle loop.

I will look forward to reading about your next adventures…

regards,
Susan and Dan

Dear Andy and Mary,

We are so sad that we don’t have your blog to look forward to every day! Mary, you did an outstanding job with this and we so enjoyed it! Congrats on a great and successful journey!

We have a question and maybe a request…..so that we can start over and read your adventure from the beginning, is there a way to reverse your log so that we can read from the very beginning without clicking on a specific date?

We so enjoyed it that it might be the best way to handle our withdrawal issues!!

Thanks again for sharing this with us and super job, Captain and First Mate!

Bruce

We were pleased to get to meet you and hope that you’ll come visit us on the Tennessee River.

Smooth Sailing!

Hi Mary & Andy:

I feel sad that your trip is almost over and so I can imagine how you must feel. I will sure miss reading your adventures each day. I have followed you since sometime in late January (I believe) and have enjoyed so much your descriptions and photo’s. What a wonderful adventure you have enjoyed and you should feel so very blessed to have been able to do this!!
Endings can be sad but look “forward” towards your next adventure in life and just think of all the wonderful memories you get to take with you!!

Much Blessings to you both,
Barbara

Congratulations on completing the Loop! I was finally able to get on your server and do some catching up.

John, Karen and Ted all look great, so you and Andy must be a good influence on them, sharing the youth and enthusiasm that has (among other things) sustained you on this remarkable trip.

Something to be proud of, and something to not only remember, but to cherish. A worthy pursuit, indeed.

Pamela and I send our love and congratulations to the crew of the Good News!

Congrats on closing the loop y’all (translated “you guys”). We are so envious - not that you finished, but that you were able to start! We sure enjoyed our time with you in the Abacos. We do hope you will visit us on the Tennessee either by boat or car. We have an empty stateroom you are welcome to! Congrats again! Oh, and bless your heart! Sarah & Gary
