We woke up to rain this morning at GTB. It soon passed by us, but left overcast skies, warm temperatures, and ultra high humidity.

We loaded the car, trip by trip. Up a ramp, then up some stairs, then into the parking lot. Then back again. I was soaked in no time.

The marina wanted us to move the boat from the transient docks over to a spot on one of the permanent piers. We obliged and were ready to leave GTB by 11:45 or so.

We hit I-24 and drove the 100 or so miles to Nashville, then headed South on I-65 to Birmingham. We were home by 7:00. Not a bad drive at all, considering we hit Birmingham right at 5:00 rush hour. This is our first time back home in almost four months! Not what we anticipated whenwe planned the Loop Trip!

We will be back on the boat in about two weeks, when we will set out for the AGLCA Rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park in Alabama on the Tennessee River. In the next two weeks we will do appointments and make visits to Daphne and Jacksonville. A busy schedule! No rest for the weary. We are holding, then at 156 days on the Loop and 3,984.3 SM of the Loop completed.

I want to do some refections on where we have been and what we have seen on the Loop in the Blog during the next several days. I also will be blogging about activities that we are doing away from the boat, so, stay tuned! Don't leave us!
