Welcome to Loop Letters: Reflections on Looping Aboard Affection. Thanks for joining the journey!

Every week or so I’ll add another post to this blog, emailing our Honorary Loopers the link. Enjoy!

• August 26-September 1: Week Five, Part 2: Port Colborne, ON
  Dear Honorary Loopers, In our transit of the Welland Canal, we left one Great Lake and entered another.  The transition felt momentous, partly because these “Sweetwater Seas” are great in more than just name. On Lake Ontario, we had grown closer to new and old friends, laughed and learned at live theater performances, and caught… Read more: August 26-September 1: Week Five, Part 2: Port Colborne, ON
• Affection Log Week Five: August 26-September 1: Part 1: Port Weller to Port Colborne via the Welland Canal
  Dear Honorary Loopers, We started the week on August 26 in Niagara on the Lake, on Lake Ontario, Canada, and by September 1 we were docking in Lake Erie, in Buffalo, NY.  In between we shifted from one Great Lake to another, changed latitude, had some of the most challenging boating experiences of this trip… Read more: Affection Log Week Five: August 26-September 1: Part 1: Port Weller to Port Colborne via the Welland Canal
• Affection Log Week Four: August 19-26: Toronto to Niagara on the Lake

• Week 3 July 29-August 8, 2026: Part One: Trentport to Cobourg, Ontario
  Dear Honorary Loopers, As I mentioned in the last entry, we left the traditional Loop route in Trentport.  This year’s visit there felt very different. In 2024, I was excited, feeling anticipation and suspense as we started the Canadian canal experience that we had heard so much about. This time, two years later, we entered… Read more: Week 3 July 29-August 8, 2026: Part One: Trentport to Cobourg, Ontario
