I'm thinking of doing the Great Loop and joined the forum hoping to share what I learn along the way and ask many questions as well.
why YODABOAT? I couldn't think of anything better? I built a camper van I call YODAVAN(spin off of You-Da-Man) so I figured keep it simple LOL.
I've owned two boats both 17' open bow that we would water ski with. I don't have any experience with larger boats that I can live on during the Great Loop. I like the Praire 29 for it's fuel economy, livability and is closer to what I could afford. Also thinking it might be easier to handle as a solo traveler. I am open to suggestions.
I'll be needing training on all matters of doing the Great Loop. Navigation, Maintenance of the boat, how to handle the boat in a lock as a solo, Anchoring, docking etc.... So suggestions as to where to get started would be great. Experience is the best teacher.... but getting some basics from someone that's been there sounds like a good plan.
Looking forward to the next adventure.
