Great Loop Radio: The Florida Keys

Keep your vessel running smoothly with new AGLCA Sponsor All Aspects Marine, located in Pensacola. And as you head north on the AICW, check out our two new marina sponsors, Fort Pierce City Marina and Jekyll Harbor Marina. Southern hospitality is just a marina slip away!

Words that you will never hear a Gold Looper say: “Crossing the Gulf of Mexico was my favorite part of The Great Loop.”

Just before departing our homeport in the Panhandle region of northwest Florida for our first Great Loop adventure, we invited a small group of Gold Loopers aboard 'Spiritus' for docktails. We decided to tap into the proverbial pool of knowledge these Loopers held.  We wanted to learn about the interesting towns they had visited and gunkholes where they had dropped anchor while making their way along Florida’s Gulf coast.

The timing of this article couldn’t be better as many of you are looking to move to the East coast of Florida using this route.  The timing was also great because Steve and I were just in the process of moving a boat from Labelle to Stuart.
