Reflection On America's Great Loop: A Baby Boomer Couple's Year-Long Boating Odyssey / George and Patricia Hospodar

Adventure is not just for the young!

Though “I own a boat!” was the opening phrase to their courtship and eventual married life, little did “Baby Boomer” couple, George and Pat Hospodar, know then that those words would lead to their making a year-long “journey of a lifetime” aboard their boat, Reflection, almost forty years later.

Reflection on America’s Great Loop welcomes and encourages not only fellow boaters, but also armchair adventurers, and dreamers of all ages to join them aboard as they share a lighthearted, real-life account of their travels on the circumnavigation of the waterways of the eastern United States and Canada.

In addition, for those who may consider making this journey themselves, the authors offer insights and tips on:

* Routes

* Anchorages

* Navigation

* Locking

* Marinas

* Free dockage

* Low bridges

* Fuel stops

* Restaurants

* Shopping

* Points of interest and local history

* Border crossings in Canada and the United States

* Local marine weather websites and phone numbers.
