We’re underway! And our friends and family are the best!!

Shortly after 1:00 PM today, Dragonfly & crew departed from Hansen’s Harbor to start the Great Loop! More than 30 of our dear friends and family drove 1+ hours, got bad directions from Google Maps and braved a heat advisory to see us off. We were so touched by all of you who joined us for the cookout and send off, and by all of the well wishes from those who could not attend. Matt & Carol Green came up from Madison, and the long-distance award goes to Nancy Rydholm, who traveled from Yakima, WA. After final hugs, Danielle and Amy cast off our lines for us, to applause, cheers and waves! Thanks to all who made the start of our adventure so special!!
