Potential Loopers Seek Your advice
Since many of you are Loopers, active or retired, you are certain to have words of wisdom for James and his wife as they contemplate casting off for distant shores. Let us hear from you!
My wife and I decided a few years ago that we weren’t going to do the Great Loop. However, we live in SW Florida and have discussed just cruising up the TennTom and related waterways to spend a summer in my hometown of Boyne City, Michigan. We’re 66 and it’s probably our last big adventure.
Any advice is welcome.

It so greatly depends on your boat! If you plan to go up the Tenn-Tom, etc, you’ll eventually be going UP the Mississippi, against the current. If you have a fast enough boat, it’s do-able, particularly if you pick a time with no flooding. You also need to carry enough fuel to do the 250 mile run (approximately) from Grand Haven, KY to Hoppies Marina on the Mississippi. It can be a great trip. Best of luck!
