We congratulate Robert Youens and the crew of "Lady Lor", who enjoyed impressively fast Great Loop Adventures. Both are examples of making the Great Loop your own and are proof that there is no wrong way to Loop.

Since we’re such a close-knit community, it always saddens us when members pass and we want to make sure we keep their memories alive.  Thanks to Platinum Looper Tsali Bentley’s suggestion we now have the perfect way to honor these members.

Registration opens on Monday, August 18 at noon (eastern)! Plan to join us this November in Orange Beach, Alabama. Same great content ~ Brand new location!

It’s an exciting time for Loopers as many approach Chicago! Loopers know the best way to visit Chicago is by boat since you can avoid the traffic and dock in the heart of the city. In addition to the Chicago Harbor marinas dotting the city’s lakefront, Loopers can now tie up at one of the top tourist attractions in the Midwest ~ Navy Pier.

A recent AGLCA Forum thread asked, “What are things you really like having on your boat?”  Self-described as falling in the Great Loop “newbie level”, the original posters of this thread posed a simple question. All Loopers, whether experienced or not, have pondered this subject at length. When searching for a boat in which to do your Great Loop adventure, or outfitting a boat you already have, it could be helpful to pose questions to the throngs of people who have already gone before you. As the saying goes, it is less painful to learn from other people’s mistakes than from your own!

Exciting news as Loopers head to Chicago this season ~ Navy Pier Marina is excited to welcome you with plenty of things to see and do! Also check out Blue Tortuga Fitness ~ helping Loopers stay fit while cruising the Loop with a brand new fitness program just for you!

We understand that both Canadians and returning U.S. Citizens may still have questions about what they can expect while clearing customs in Michigan. While much of it hasn't changed, we encourage you to review the information before you reach out to the local Customs Border Patrol Agent.
