Letter to the Editor: Ran into Ebbings during their Great Loop adventure

I talked with the Ebbings (read the story of Rob and Vicki Ebbing here) at Two Rivers Marina last fall as they started their Great Loop adventure, giving them a few tips on my wife’s and my Great Loop adventure and long river trips which started from Two Rivers Marina in 2013 and spanned the next five years.

My wife was a reluctant spouse/boater when we departed Two Rivers, but when we ended out Great Loop trip there in 2016, she commented, “I wouldn’t mind doing that trip again.”

My mistake was not taking her up on another Great Loop trip. The Great Loop is the trip of a lifetime, and we traveled more than 13,000 miles in five years without having to repair a prop.

My wife kept a “spicy blog,” posting every couple days to keep my mother apprised of our trip.
