WELCOME ABOARD

 There comes a moment - quiet, almost invisible - when America’s Great Loop stops being a line on a chart—and becomes something else entirely.  It doesn't happen when you toss those lines and shove off, even though something inside you says it should. No, that morning is full of anticipation - checklists, nervous excitement, and the weight of a plan you may have been dreaming about for years. You think you're setting out on a long-distance boat ride. You're not. You're stepping into an amazing adventure. One that will quietly, patiently change the way you think about time, distance, happiness, your cruising companion, yourself, and even your life - and how you want it to be.   

Hi, welcome aboard. I’m Capt. John, and this website is 100% free. My staff and I are here to help you dream, plan, prepare, and eventually cruise America's Great Loop. Our goal is to help you "Run It Like You've Done It". That means; safely, comfortably, confidently, affordably and equally important - having a lot of fun all along the way. On this website, you can explore boats, budgets, routes, detours, side trips, options, destinations, and living on a boat all along the way. Aside from your safety, our goal is to help you make choices that fit your lifestyle, philosophy and pocketbook—so you too, can enjoy this adventure as much as we have - on both land and water.
