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.

Chris and Deb are back with nearly 300 more miles under their keel! In this episode, they recap their journey from Fort Pierce to St. Augustine, with plenty of highlights along the way. Hear about surprise jewelry shopping and a great meal at 12A Buoy, a hot round of golf at the PGA Wanamaker Course, and an “oops” lesson in why you should always wash new boat fabrics. They also share their dinghy adventure to the Navy SEAL Museum and Little Jim’s, the thrill of watching a rocket launch in Titusville, and a full day exploring the Kennedy Space Center.
The trip continues north with wildlife encounters and beach strolls in New Smyrna, a quick but delicious stop in Palm Coast, and finally, days of historic charm in St. Augustine—complete with trolley tours, Castillo de San Marcos, and prepping for a bucket-list tee time at TPC Sawgrass.
It’s equal parts travelogue, boating lessons, and “did you see that?!” moments—classic Great Loop adventure storytelling.
