A lot has changed on the inland river system since last year’s Looper fleet headed south toward warm weather and salt water. Between lock closures and the loss of a few much-needed places to tie up, there are several obstacles this year’s fleet should be prepared to navigate.

It’s all about marinas along the river system this month! We’re thrilled to welcome back Grafton Harbor Marina and welcome Kuttawa Harbor Marina to the AGLCA community. Both are ready to assist Loopers as you begin your southbound cruise. Heritage Harbor Marina is also looking for a resident marina ambassador—essentially, a Harbor Host based at their marina—to assist Loopers this fall. Check out their ad for all the details! As always, we encourage you to support the businesses that support the Great Loop!
