Budget boating, how much did it cost us to complete the Loop after 4 months of Looping. The myth of taking a year to complete America’s Great Loop, does it take a year to Boat America’s Great Loop in a slow trawler Boat.

It’s great to hear you’re able to meet your budget for the loop! It was really interesting to hear your budget and seems very similar to our budget as we’re budget loopers too. Thanks for sharing your budget with us 😊

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes the numbers don't lie thanks for watching

[@haroldconnell2973]

Glad to have meant you and Bev, thank you for sharing your great adventure .

[@johnathanstone4259]

Just took ownership of the boat slow ride at homeport marina. Love your channel.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

That is awesome! We will be there soon ourselves

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Thanks for information. Sounds like you had a wonderful Loop experience in a frugal manner.

[@davidingraham1989]

Well, my estimates were about on the nose with yours. I just need to now find a boat. Thanks D

Enjoying the videos.

[@wayneoosterhoff2459]

Thanks for posting this great vid. This just popped up on my feed as we are in the dreaming stage. Do you by chance have a link to your final budget video and did you keep a spreadsheet of your expenses? Thanks again and congratulations on your adventure..

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

No, sorry I didn’t keep a spread sheet on it sorry

[@leozeek]

I’m looking forward to hearing the final costs, etc.

[@infomax2008]

Thanks! Very good information. One day I am going to do it!

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

You can do it!

[@dustingriffey2567]

Love you guys my man. Ive been watching from the beginning. I live in NC on the intercostal. Saw when you came into Beaufort.. Thanks for the videos.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rayvagabond3429]

I love following ya'll. But... it's a burge not a bunge. Another tip, when docking, center the wheel and don't touch it and just use the engines. Your a nervous wreck when docking even after 6000 miles.

[@hcrffi]

👍 Not bad at all.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

In Capt. John's Looper Guide, he figured that the Loop can be done in approximately 140 days. You are roughly within that timeframe.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

correct and we use his guide daily

[@domfalson1561]

That's pretty good. Thanks for that info enjoy your page. 👍

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomsneed9548]

congrats on milestones - love your terrier

[@earnestmetz9834]

Dock fees are expensive. Why not anchor out more often?

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Daisy is a big reason for that, also right now it's pay in fuel to run the generator or pay the dock

[@krautAmerican]

I see Daisy prefers the big comfy couch ha ha ha...she thinks her bed is just for her toy storage

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes correct

[@mikenagy938]

I hesitate to include food and water in your cruising budget, since you will be eating and drinking back at your home dock. And I am curious about the loop, are there no places to anchor out? For me anchoring is one of my greatest joys.

[@yoho212]

Have you guys met with any questions / impediments regarding covid. Have any ports of call demanded proof of vacination prior to entry? Thanks

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

No none of them

[@krautAmerican]

4th video you told us about the flag hahahahahaha very cool

[@petebates849]

it went fast

[@scuffedoutdoors7085]

can you do it in a pair on a fast boat 22-26ft boaT? QUICK 100 GAL TANK, RUNNING 28-32MPH APPROX 2MPG

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Well we meet a guy in a 23 ft runabout doing the loop running those speeds

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

So yes

[@davidh7423]

You guys hauled ass around the loop. Seems like you moved almost every day -- with only a few bad weather days. I think many people stop and hang out more, thus taking longer.

[@gusjones7259]

That’s the point of a he loop for many. Taking the time to explore our great country & seeing where a lot of history was made. This is why many loopers I have met, have taken years to complete the loop. I didn’t think the loop was a race, or a contest.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes for sure we moved 3 months and took off 1 month to complete the entire loop

[@troymingo8481]

Don’t dock up

[@tomsneed9548]

MORE TERRIER VIDS!

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Yes she is an awsome dog and learning quickly
