February 2025 Great Loop Link

Words that you will never hear a Gold Looper say: “Crossing the Gulf of Mexico was my favorite part of The Great Loop.”

Just before departing our homeport in the Panhandle region of northwest Florida for our first Great Loop adventure, we invited a small group of Gold Loopers aboard 'Spiritus' for docktails. We decided to tap into the proverbial pool of knowledge these Loopers held.  We wanted to learn about the interesting towns they had visited and gunkholes where they had dropped anchor while making their way along Florida’s Gulf coast.

The timing of this article couldn’t be better as many of you are looking to move to the East coast of Florida using this route.  The timing was also great because Steve and I were just in the process of moving a boat from Labelle to Stuart.  

We hope many of you enjoyed time on the water in 2024 and are looking forward to even more cruising in 2025. Before the 2025 cruising season gets going, it seems like a natural time to update our members on AGLCA’s current state of affairs, share last year’s Loop completion statistics, and take a look forward to what’s new for 2025. Enjoy!

AGLCA is still accepting member's boat names for inclusion on the Fleet of 2025 T-shirt. Submissions and Fleet Shirt pre-orders are two separate steps! Don't miss out! Get all the details on the page below.
