One of the best parts of America's Great Loop is the people we meet. In this episode we interview Andy and Gwen who live full time on a Tartan 37 Sailboat and have traversed the Intra-Coastal Waterway 3 times. They share their unique boating experiences as well as some tips and favorite locations to visit!

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.
