Loopers Loopers Everywhere

Because of weather considerations, loopers try to be off of Lake Michigan before the end of September.  Then they enter the river system and move south.  As a consequence, many loopers pass through Racine, WI (LeeLoo’s home port) on their way south.  Nancy and I are harbor hosts for the American Great Loop Cruiser’s Association.  When loopers pass through Racine, we introduce ourselves and offer assistance if any is needed (e.g., a ride to the grocery store or to the doctor).  Last week we went to dinner with 16 other loopers from 8 boats; probably a record for Reefpoint Marina!  Tonight we had dinner with an interesting looper couple (Lady KK from Houston, TX) who are on their third year of the trip.  Since we are just starting our loop, we have learned a lot from veteran loopers.
