Great Loop
Crusing Notes
Free written and video guides to specific stops along the Loop from someone who's been there.
These guides are built from Alison's personal experience aboard SV Fika during the 2023–2024 Great Loop. Each one covers what to expect when you arrive, where to stay, what's worth exploring, and a few things you won't find on the chart.
Cruising Notes
-
Norfolk, Virginia
Waterside Distric, the USS Wisconsin, AGLCA Spring Rendezvous home base, and the best waffle shop you didn’t expect to find.
-
Deltaville, Virginia
Where we bought SV Fika, the Captain John Smith stingray story, the Maritime Museum, and an annual sock burn.
-
Solomons Island, Maryland
Fossil hunting at Calvert Cliffs, three competing ice cream shops, and a WWII amphibious training base most Loopers don’t know about.
-
St. Johns River, Florida
As you pass through Jacksonville, turn inland! You’ll find anchorages, free overnight docks, city lights, and more.
