Today is our longest cruising day yet on America's Great Loop for a total of 12 hours. We leave Belhaven, NC, go through the Alligator River-Pungo River Canal, up the Alligator River, and cross the Albemarle Sound to Elizabeth City. We take 3 hour shifts on the helm so the other person can work. It's a very full day including some hairy situations along the way. Cheers from the Loop, Jennifer and Elliot #greatloop #boatlife #cruising 🎥 Episode 167 | Filmed on May 18, 2021 🇺🇸 America's Great Loop | Belhaven, North Carolina _______________________ BLOG https://schoandjo.com/blog ☝️ Read more and check out behind the scenes at the blog _______________________ AMERICA'S GREAT LOOP CRUISERS ASSOCIATION Join AGLCA for information on planning and completing your Great Loop adventure.

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.
