ABOUT US
Hello! I founded Loop Life Academy to empower other families like mine to explore America’s Great Loop with confidence and purpose.
My family and I started our Great Loop Adventure in May 2023 in our sailboat, Fika. My husband, Chris, and I co-caption the boat, and our two elementary-aged kids are solid crew members.
Thanks for being part of our adventure!

As an aging "Landlubber" who will not be able to actually travel the Great Loop, I would would like thank you for these Great Loop Nautical Nuggets. I so enjoy hearing about the maritime stops on the loop that I am encouraging friends to do the loop by land or academy to reap the rewards of nature, history and culture on the Great Loop. Will that make me an official Landlubber Great Looper? ☺

[@LoopLifeAcademy]

I am glad you are enjoying it! We welcome you into the Official Landlubber Great Looper Club! There are many of us in the club, from dreamers, to planners, to researchers, and cruisers. It's a welcoming community. And if boating isn't your thing, I've seen a few people look at camping the loop, or join a captained boat to do small sections for just a little bit of experience on it. Regardless, I'm happy to be able to provide a virtual tour of the Great Loop as I produce these videos.
You may also want to check out www.youtube.com/@SchoandJo for a great vlog series along America's Great Loop to get even more immersion in it.

We locals don't pronounce the "L" in Norfolk, so it comes out more like "NOR-fok", or, if you are really from the south: "NAW-fuk" :) Looking forward to following y'all on your adventures! Heading to the Rendezvous tomorrow to start planning my loop adventure!

[@LoopLifeAcademy]

Thanks for that! You can tell I'm not local, and I appreciate learning the "right" way to say it.
Glad to hear you'll be at the Rendezvous; I'll be there too! I'd love to meet you while we're there. :)
