Resuming our Great Loop Cruising Adventure aboard our Bayliner 4788 Motoryach - A Quick Refresher
We have caught up to our turn around point in Charleston of our first attempt at the Great Loop. And four years later, we have officially resumed the adventure!
Join us for a quick refreshing going over just what is the American Great Loop, why we choose it, why the 4-year pause and our intentions going forward.

----------------------------------
We're Cherie & Chris and we've been full time technomads since 2006. We are owned by Kiki (meow).
We have a fleet of nomadic vessels that we split our time between - a 1961 GM 4106 vintage bus, a 1999 Bayliner 4788 motor yacht and a 2020.5 Travato GL van conversion. You'll find RV, van and boat life content here, as we feel inspired to share - sometimes topical, sometimes travelogues, sometimes just hanging out.
We love sharing a slice of our life with others, and also blog at www.technomadia.com, Facebook and Instagram. We use the name 'Technomadia' in all those places. Come join the adventure however you choose!
Income generation is NOT a goal of ours under the 'Technomadia' brand - we do this for fun.
Our full time 'job' is running the Mobile Internet Resource Center, where we track and educate RVers and cruisers on their options for keeping connected. Come join us at www.RVMobileInternet.com for news, guides, reviews and courses. We also have a dedicated UA-cam channel ua-cam.com/users/mobileinternetresourcecenter you can subscribe to. Through member funding, we can give away a lot of free content - and our members get even more.

    I'm looking forward to following along with you on your journey. I have a quick curiosity question for you. When you stored your boat in Savannah a while back, what marina or yard did you use? And do you recommend them? The reason I ask is that I am going to bring my boat from the Boston area down to Savannah in October/November timeframe, leave it there for the winter, then bring it back slowly to Boston next Spring. But I'm looking for a good place to store it over the winter. Preferrably in the water, rather than on the hard. Any advice would be much appreciated. All the best, Jim Andersen, MV Katy Leigh, Narragansett Bay, RI
