Tim & Diane Vandersall

Gold Loopers

Tim and Diane Vandersall hale from Northeast Ohio where they lived most of their lives and raised their eight children.  Discovering the Great Loop in 2014, they slowly began to turn the dream into reality.  They bought their Loop boat, Wilma May, in Alabama in 2020, retired, sold nearly everything they owned including their home, cars and possessions in 2022, and moved their remaining things to Wilma May in August of that year. They set sail on the Great Loop on the Tennessee River on November 1, 2022 and finished 366 days later.  They currently live aboard while cruising the east coast and beyond.
