Gold Looper Reunion at Legacy Harbour

 

 It is exciting to see all the boats at Legacy Harbour! 

Most of the boats either fly a white AGLCA burgee to signify they are currently on the Great Loop or fly a gold burgee to signify they have completed the Great Loop.

 

 

 

 

 

 Eddy and Jeff had the honor of bringing "True North" down from Dunedin.  

Captain Tom Conrad was unable to skipper his boat due to terminal cancer.
Eddy and Jeff were blessed with good weather during the entire three day journey.

Our "graduating class" gathers for a potluck the weekend before the Gold Loop festivities begin!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We enjoyed days of connecting with old friends . . . . . .

 

. . . . . . and meeting new friends . . . . . .

 

 . . . . . . and more new friends . . . . . .

 

 

 . . . . . . and more old friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We felt especially blessed to celebrate with Tom and Patsy, truly an inspiration for all Loopers.

 

 

 

 Tom and Patsy shared emotional final words with the group of 125 Gold Loopers who love, respect, and admire them dearly. 

Eddy sharing a tender moment with his mentor as the Vets honor Tom for his Navy service.

 

 

 

 

 

We joined the Rays, another Gold Loop couple, to present "Our Loop Story" to 95 potential Loopers.

We hope to pay it forward with our passion and enthusiasm for our life-changing adventure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although it's been an emotionally-charged, fully-involved January, we pause to enjoy a dramatic ending.
