We continue heading southbound as we leave the Deep Creek Lock and head into North Carolina. We cruise to the Dismal Swamp Welcome Center just off of Highway 17 for a few nights to sit through some foul weather and hang out with our good friends from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyhgVroD5OLiAwhORCmkogA. The trees here have officially begun their transformations and it is beautiful. We hope you enjoy, as we did, our unexpected gorgeous cruise! Thanks for watching!

We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive head first into boat life, and kick off America’s Great Loop. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. Thank you for following us along our journey! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kick back.
