Alex -- We have photos that include most of the Loop (and a goodly bit more) on our website Halcyon Days at: www.geocities.com/bill_fiero (that's bill_fiero). Our stories are not anchorage or marina guidebooks -- there are others who do a good job writing the details that are important to a boater doing the loop. Our tales are 'about' a place -- with the idea of giving the reader an impression of what it is like to cruise, and in particular, the feelings a certain cruising area may impart to the boater. Also, being a geologist, we sometimes discuss the geology of a cruising area. You might find the website useful to give friends or family the 'why we are going to do it' explanation. el and bill on Halcyon

Bill, An amazing site. Can't wait to read it all. We're from Portland too, the new owner of a 25' cruiser. One burning question. Why a '22 foot C-Dory instead of a '25? Isn't the 25 footer friendlier in terms of creature comforts? -Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "bill fiero" <bill_fiero@hotmail.com> To: <great-loop@lists.samurai.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 7:14 AM Subject: Re: GL: Loop Photos > Alex -- > > We have photos that include most of the Loop (and a goodly bit more) on > our website Halcyon Days at: www.geocities.com/bill_fiero (that's > bill_fiero).
