What is The Great Loop

The Great Loop
"It's more than a 5,600 mile boat ride"

"Cruising the Loop is a voyage through America's history. From the Statute of Liberty, the locks of the Erie Canal, across the Great Lakes, into the Heartland of America, to the Gulf of Mexico before reaching our home port."  Capt. John- "America's Great Loop & Beyond" 

 The Loop is known as a seasonal cruise. "Loopers" need to head north up the East Coast in the spring, cross the Great Lakes in the summer and arrive in the Gulf of Mexico before the Atlantic hurricane season. 

Preparation for our adventure has been focused on research and reading many articles written by "Loopers" who have previously made the trip. From the  recommended departure dates, the boat you should have, where to stop, places to stop and eat and much more opinions vary. All are beneficial but expect Lincoln and I will have our great days and challenging days despite planning everything.

Stay tuned as we provide more information prior to shoving off. 
Details on the new Spirit Song will be posted soon.
