WPSU producer Cynthia Berger is spending a year on a boat, cruising “The Great Loop,” the system of waterways that circles eastern North America. Each year about two-hundred boaters make this adventurous trip. They call themselves “Loopers,” and they even have a yearly “Looper Rendezvous,” where boaters exchange tips and advice. Cynthia went to the meeting this year and sent back this audio postcard.

The American Great Loop Cruisers Association has resources for boaters who are doing “The Great Loop.”

Ron and Eva Stuab wrote about their Great Loop adventure in the book, “Honey, Let’s Get a Boat.”

Here’s another book that will help you plan your own Great Loop Adventure.
