The Great Loop Podcast
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, this married couple is embarking on their next great adventure. They’ve always been boat people and were excited when they had the opportunity to purchase their dream boat.
They are now traveling around the great loop at their own pace and enjoying every minute. They plan to create a podcast interviewing different captains they meet along the route, giving tips to future loopers, and sharing their stories with those interested in a similar route.
The Great Loop is a recognized waterway that follows major rivers, oceans, and currents. More importantly, it represents a journey and a great American adventure, similar to the Appalachian or Pacific Crest Hiking trails. Likewise, becoming a “Looper” is a membership into an exclusive community.
Loopers will experience challenges and successes along the route, meet new friends, and visit local cultures. The opportunities are endless, and it’s an unpredictable adventure that will generate limitless stories.

Captains Log 6 | Pirates and Crab Pots | 5/23/2025
After three sun-soaked weeks exploring the Florida Keys, Chris and the crew are back in Cincinnati—but not before making memories in Marathon and Islamorada. In this episode, we dive into the highs (and hilarious mishaps) of DIY scuba diving at Sombrero Reef, recount the best mini-golf course we've ever played, and share the story behind our accidental “Lost Buoy Dive Club.”
We talk about the charm of Plantation Harbor Marina, our new paddleboard adventures, snorkeling with sea turtles, and eating our weight in tuna nachos at Marker 88. There's even a surprise iguana cameo and a spontaneous swim (unplanned, of course) by the captain himself.
Plus, we preview what’s next on our Loop journey—from Key Largo to Fort Lauderdale—as we chase clear water, great reefs, and smoother sailing.
