The Skipper Bob – The Great Circle Route is an experienced and informative guide to the 5,000 plus miles of the Great Circle. If you cruise long enough, someone will ask if you have completed the Great Loop.
The Great Loop is completed almost entirely in protected waters. You can start anywhere on the loop, but many boaters begin the journey in Florida in the spring. This guide is written from that perspective. The Great Loop is an amazing experience, if you do it all at once or do it in smaller segments over several years. The chapters are organized geographically and offers helpful information all along the way.
