Listen in on our interview with Tad Sheldon who is on grandparent – leave from the long journey so many boaters strive for. The Great Loop is on thousands of boaters bucket list. Seasonally – many of them are already on it – waiting a turn at a lock, pulling into guest berths in marina’s strewn along the shoreline or cruising along – taking in the scenery and soaking in the sounds of nature.

We have Tad here to give us some insights on who is on the water – and how preparation – or lack thereof – can make the journey smoother. He and his wife Libbie have kept a blog – to share the experience. Peruse thru it – especially if you are considering doing the great loop.

For further details in to the entire process – enjoy a deep dive into the presentation Tad provided at South Beach Yacht Club, San Francisco.
