Bob Stopper, the indefatigable ambassador of the NYS Canals, sent along these photos of Nereus, a boat operated by folks who are taking the Great Loop at enjoyable speeds over several years.

Read Don and Lynn’s “letters” here. Read all about their boat, a Pilgrim 40, here.

Of course, Bob carries his trusty camera and sends along some more photos of a Low Bridge Charters boat and …

this trawler. Summer is winding down. Enjoy the sublime weather as you can.

Many thanks to Bob for sending along these photos.
