Brunswick, Georgia was a nice, small town.  We stayed at Brunswick Landing Marina; the rates were good and you could walk to town.  After we docked, we took a walk to check out the bathrooms facilities, laundry and pay for our slip rental.  It was near Easter at this time (April 4).  As Jeff was walking to the restroom, he spotted an Easter egg.  He picked it up and assumed an Easter egg hunt was getting underway soon.  He didn’t open it and just laid it back down.  The dock master was watching and told him to look in the egg.  It happened to be an adult egg hunt and we won a big bottle of wine!  Yay for us!  What a nice surprise!  

Our friends, Darleen and Rusty, were at Brunswick too.  We went across the street to the Apothecary Bar - it was pretty cool with inexpensive, but tasty drinks! 

As we left Brunswick, our next destination was Sunbury Harbor to the Sunbury Crab Co. Restaurant and Bar.  I’m chose this place because it was recommended in The Loopers Companion Guide.  The book has been so helpful with planning stops on the loop.  I probably wouldn’t stay at Sunbury Crab Co. again although I’ve heard other loopers rave about it.  The owner was very nice and the food was good, but there really wasn’t anywhere to walk to - just eat/drink and it seemed a bit pricey.  There was a beautiful sunrise!

As we were leaving the restaurant to return to our boat, a looper friend, Matt, informed us that another looper boat had come close to hitting our boat - he actually said he had to jump into the cockpit to try and keep them off!  Ironically, we had walked back from the restaurant with this couple and they never said a word.  No damage was noted to the boat, thank goodness.

Boomerang - 09/13/2022

      We've finally taken the plunge - that could be a bad play on words.  Let’s say, we’ve finally purchased our looper boat. We've been on a quest to find a boat, for a couple of months now. We've traveled more than 3000 miles in search of the perfect one. We had certain criteria (budget, seaworthy, dinghy, A/C, heat, trailer, electronics, bed, toilet, galley, tall ceiling for Jeff, etc.) and we located one in Webster, New York (near Rochester).  We traveled there twice to get this boat - once by plane and then by truck. It’s a 14 hour drive, but she fit the bill, so we had to go. It’s a Rosborough 246, trailerable, 25 ft., single, outboard engine (Honda 225) small, cabin cruiser.  She’s in great shape, clean and ready to go!  The previous owner took great pride in ownership and we were lucky to find her, just in time! She's a small boat; but it's just a vessel to get us from point A to point B and to have a view of the country from a different persp...

Back on the water!

So after 1.5 years, we have Boomerang back in the water. After finishing the Loop, we built a house and are finally getting to go boating again. Two days ago, we trailered the boat to Gilbertsville, KY and stayed at The Moors Resort for two nights. It was a nice marina and costs $1.50 a foot. They told us they had power and water at the slips - but there was no water and only a 110 outlet, but we made do. And although they said they had bath houses, there were no showers! But what they did have was a very nice delicious, reasonably priced restaurant. We both enjoyed the Mahi Mahi with Mango salsa.  After two days, we cruised to Buzzard Rock Marina in Kuttawa, KY. Its was a peaceful day on the lake, not much traffic. Buzzard Rock Marina has showers! Although our slip didn’t have water or power, we were able to connect to both at a vacant slip close by. We’ve already met Billy, who completed the loop in 2017. He’s invited us to dinner on his boat tonight. He seems very nice! And it’s...
