Attended our first America’s Great Loop Cruiser’s Association (AGLCA) Rendezvous in Norfolk, VA. http://www.greatloop.org

Lots of interesting things. We met some interesting folks. More enthused than ever in our quest for a boat. Took lots of notes.

The special event during the Rendezvous is the “Trawler Crawl”. This is when boat owners open their boat to visitors to look at their wonderful homes. I climbed aboard a dozen different boats and boat sizes. If I felt claustrophobic, it was a NO. If my hat touched the header inside the boat, the men in the family wouldn’t be able to stand up straight. That was a No Certainly was helpful in determining a minimum size and height requirements. The son, should he ever visit, is at least 6’5″ tall. That definitely limits us to only a handful of boat manufacturers.
