David & Barbara are cruising again on the MemoryMaker too... During the Summer 2012 they plan to do The North Loop (Can-Am Canal). Follow their journey as they navigate north from Jacksonville, Florida to Canada, visiting some old familiar spots and exploring new ones. Plans are for them to travel from Jacksonville along the Intra-coastal Waterway to Norfolk, Virginia. They'll be attending the AGLCA Rendezvous in Norfolk.The Rendezvous is aimed at folks currently doing The Great Loop, those that have completed The Great Loop and those that have dreams of one day being able to do The Great Loop. David and Barbara completed The Great Loop in 2005 and proudly fly their gold burgee signifying completion. You can read more about their 2005 Great Loop adventure from a link near the bottom.

After the Rendezvous is over in Norfolk, they'll travel north along the waterway to New York. From New York they'll go north up the Hudson River through Lake Champlain and follow the Chambly Canal to the town of Sorel on the St. Lawrence Seaway. From there they'll travel down to Montreal Quebec, up the Richelieu and Rideau canals through Otawa. Their travels will then take them to the Trent Severn Canals, one of the favorite locations they visited during their 2005 Great Loop adventure. They'll then go through the Georgian Bay and North Channel until they return to the United States somewhere in Michigan. Once back in Michigan, they'll follow the east coast of Michigan down to Lake Erie and across Lake Erie to Buffalo NY. They will then follow the Erie Canal back to the Hudson River. Their plans are to then cruise the east coast locations making their way back to Florida. You'll find links to that adventure below.
