By Jim & Lisa Favors aboard their trawler Kismet
We have spent five years as long distance cruisers, completing the Great Loop Boat trip almost twice. Shortly after we embarked on our first Loop trip we felt a great need to share with others what a trip like this would be like. We hope through our posts and photography our readers will get a real sense of what it’s like to be a “Looper.”
We are currently on America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association (AGLCA) Advisory Board. We both write for Boat US Cruising Logs and Jim is a past contributing editor for the Waterway Guides. We’ve published two boating books, When the Water Calls, We Follow (27 Loopers tell their tales about their experiences), and Women On Board Cruising (25 women, long-distance cruisers share their thoughts about this amazing lifestyle).
