My friend and I (both retired and previous Trawler owners) are considering doing the Great Loop in very small boats (under 12 ft). Is this crazy to even think about? or is it doable given the types of water that we will have during such a trip. We are somewhat experienced boaters but no experience with the Great Loop. We obviously would not be living on the boats, but just using them to get from point A to B to C, etc. Any advice appreciated.

Like camping out. As there are many stretches without marinas and/or motels. Paddling I assume? You will need to have a range to span the gas stop less stretches e.g. Hoppies to GTB.

I'm sure your friends will find plenty of hospitable people along the way to provide assistance, including a car loaner once in a while for shopping. gp ----- Original Message ----- From: David Pike My friend and I (both retired and previous Trawler owners) are considering doing the Great Loop in very small boats (under 12 ft).
