Today we finally get the opportunity to meet our digital friends, Adam and Kathryn, who run Adventures of A+K, in real life! We have been messaging and Face-timing for about a year, getting to know each other so we are beyond excited for them to visit us in their converted Sprinter Van Brisket. Adam and Kathryn run a YouTube channel and Blog where they have fantastic experiences touring the United States and create amazing detailed guides so you can experience the same! For the weekend we have a hodge podge of fun activities (un)planned but the goal is to just hang out and enjoy the presence of these wonderful people! Hopefully, Pivot will be ready to cruise and we can explore the Chesapeake! We hope you enjoy, Jennifer and Elliot #greatloop #boatlife 🎥 Episode 186 | Filmed November 2021 🇺🇸 America's Great Loop | Crisfield, Maryland _______________________ 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.
