This will be such an adventure. Can't wait.

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

Thank you If things go according to plan I should be launching Saturday the 27th of May

[@darrellgebhardt2443]

Good luck to you!!!! We own a 25ft C Dory up in Manitoba Canada and have discussed attempting the great loops one day. Very much looking forward to your expedition and thanks for sharing!!!!

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

Thank Darrell. I am looking forward to the adventure.

[@gailhicks6730]

WOW, So you made up your mind to really do this 👍

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

Yes I have. Just about everything is in motion now. This first video took me several weeks to put together.

[@michaelbartyzal1306]

Sounds like fun! Great video!

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

It is quite an adventure.

[@andyanderson6668]

Already a stow away, won't even notice i'm there.

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

Darn where were you when I was looking at the map and hit the rock.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Good luck! Are you doing the Loop singlehanded? My wife and I did the Erie Canal in a 35-footer and some of the locks might be a handful with just one person. Looking forward to future videos about your adventures.

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

So far the locks on the Erie have been alright. There was one that we needed to tie up on the port side due to the amount of water entering from the starboard side. The water flow really pushed us into the wall.

[@THIRDRATEPRODUCTIONS]

i love a dory, safe travels but defiantly get a tripod the shaking is hard to watch

[@boatupdiningguy6334]

his @thirdrateprodutions I bought a tripod and use it when I can. I have also purchased on of the hand held holders that steadies the phone camera. Unfortunately, I have been separated from my tripod and hand held as they are with Foote Loose in the shop and I am on the road training and visiting other places

[@phishtacosfishingandstuff2677]

There is no official starting point for the great American loop. You start wherever you are. I will be starting on Oneida Lake New York.
