Detour to AGLCA Fall 2010 Rendezvous

During the last week of October, we left the boat at Jekyll Island, GA, and took a road trip to Joe Wheeler State Park in northern Alabama to attend the America's Great Loop Association (AGLCA) Fall 2010 Rendezvous.


Many of the 200+ attendees are currently in the midst of their Great Loop cruise, having arrived by boat.  What an inspiration this was for us, meeting and talking with this great group of cruisers, many of whom graciously opened their boats to us (and others) on late afternoon "Looper Crawls."  It was amazing to see the many shapes, sizes, and types of cruising vessels these folks call home during their great adventure on Eastern America's waterways, such as the solar-powered canal boat below.



Among the many interesting and informative meetings and events we attended during our four-day stay was a lifeboat demonstration which took place in the swimming pool.



All in all, this was a very worthwhile detour for us.  Hopefully, next year we will be arriving at the AGLCA Fall 2011 Rendezvous aboard the "Docker's Inn."
