And now, the end is near
And so we face the final posting
My friend I’ll say it clear, We’ll state our case of which we’re certain.
We lived a life, aboard our boat
We traveled each and every river
And more, much more than this
We did it our way
Regrets, we had a few, but then again, too few to mention.
We did what we had to do , through all those locks, without exception.
We planned each charted course, each single step along the water.
And more, much more than this, we did it our way.
Yes there were times, you probably knew, when we bit off more than we could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, we ate the salt and spit it out.
We faced it all and we stood tall’
We did it OUR WAY!!
The end. That’s all folks
We made it. We’re home. It’s all over.
Caught up with several other loopers in Steinhatchee FL
While at the marina in Clearwater, they had a concert that night. I could hear the band right from my boat —- without a ticket
The ICW along the coast from Tarpon Springs South had a fair amount of debris in the water.
Crossing Tampa Bay is always interesting. Makes me glad Charlotte Harbor is so shallow.
