My name is Karl Hempel and I am married to Mackie Hempel. We have a 50-foot motor vessel that we have
been cruising on intermittently over the past 10 years. We have a 7 lb. Maltese who travels with us
always. For most of those years we have talked
about cruising America’s great loop which is a 6500 mile loop up the Eastern
coast of the United States to Canada and then down through the great Lakes and
the Mississippi river to enter the gulf a Mexico at Mobile Bay. Finally, we have pulled the trigger and are
going to leave our port at Sandestin Florida on January 1st, 2019.
We are going to maintain a Blog to document the trip which should take
approximately 1 year. I have not retired
and I am taking a sabbatical specifically for this trip. I plan on returning to work in 2020.
I just saw you 2 or, I’m meant to say 3, lol. Our pets are family too
ReplyDeleteI was fishing on my dock and it looked like your wife was captain. Looked up the name on the Internet because your boat was so beautiful
Sounds like you’re doing my dream trip! It’s on my bucket list.
Safe travels to you all and prayers for a safe return
Best, Aaron Kilman
