Crossing Our Wake -Ending America's Great Loop Journey

This video was delayed because of SO many things! But it's an important one to watch because ending America's Great Loop is not easy to do. After an incredible year cruising America’s Great Loop aboard Paradise, we finally returned to the very Marina, where our journey began. In this emotional final episode, we travel down the east side of Lake Michigan, revisit beautiful harbor towns, and ultimately cross our wake (in Lake Michigan) and Hammond Marina. But this final stretch became about much more than just finishing the Loop. As we approached the end, we were faced with a difficult question… what comes next for Paradise? Do we dry dock her? Start a second Loop? Or pass her on to another future Looper to continue the adventure? Join us for the final days aboard Paradise as we reflect on an unforgettable year, friendships, marinas, sunsets, sunrises and the life-changing experience of completing America’s Great Loop.😊 🚤Thanks SO much for the like, subscribe, follow and comments!
