Great Loop 2024

Post by MikeH »

Easy Riders will be starting the Great Loop in 2024, with buddy-boat We Be Chiilin' (honestly, only a Sea Ray owner would name his boat such a thing).

We'll be departing from Florida, planning to scoot up the East Coast, then go at a much slower pace once into the Hudson.

We welcome all PDQers and friends to join in !

Have fun Mike!

We were fortunate to do the loop on His Idea over 2012, 2013 and 2014, and had many great experiences. If we have any regrets it's that we didn't do more along the way, so by all means take all the time you have.

If you're interested, we've chronicled our cruising adventures at https://www.ezcruising.net/.

Cheers,

John

You’ll have a blast Mike! I brought my son along to join my Mom and Dad on M/V Gratitude for a portion of their Loop trip this year. It was great.

Have a great and safe time, Mike.

We did the Loop and Down East Circle in two 7-month sessions (2015/2016) and loved it. Spend as much time in Canada as you can as it was the best part of the journey for us.

Hey Mike,

We'll likely join you heading North next spring. We're not sure if we'll then head up the Hudson or home to cruise New England for the summer. Right now we're just looking forward to getting back on the boat this winter and going to the Bahamas!

We plan to be traveling from Deale, MD to the Hudson in May and then onto the Down East Circle Loop for the summer. Do you use Nebo? Best way to keep track of boats you want to follow underway.
