The Greatest Adventure You've Never Heard Of

A circumnavigation of the eastern US called the Great Loop covers roughly 5,400 miles, crosses about 150 locks, passes through 18 states and two Canadian provinces and typically winds up closer to 6,000 miles average taking 10–12 months. Costs range from about $15,000 for a frugal year to $55,000 or more; only ~220 boats finished last year. People complete it on tiny used sailboats, large Bayliners, or family 32‑foot cruisers, and planning resources include greatloop.org and captainjohn.org.
