STAR DUST CROSSED THEIR WAKE TODAY AND EARNED THEIR GOLD BURGEE!!!
Loopers fly a white AGLCA burgee and, once they have completed their Loop, earn the privilege of flying a gold burgee. Those that complete the trip a second time fly a platinum burgee.
Misty, Darrel and Roy started their Loop on September 4, 2021 from St. Charles, MO just ONE DAY after they purchased Star Dust! We first met them in May, 2022 on the Creech’s porch in Southport, NC and then saw them a couple of times on the Hudson River before meeting up with them again in Waterford, NY the end of June and have been traveling with them since.
We cannot say enough about these two wonderful people who have become very dear friends after spending just about EVERY DAY with them for the past three months! They have added SO MUCH to our trip and they will be sorely missed when we leave in a few days to continue our Loop. We are so excited for them for their achievement but we are terribly sad that we will no longer be traveling together.
We will SO miss the laughs, our dining companions, the laughs, our travel companions, the laughs, our tourist companions, the laughs, the docktails, the laughs, our laundry buddy, the laughs, consistently leaving a marina 30 minutes before the agreed upon plan, the laughs, the wealth of advice they shared with us, the laughs, keeping up with who is on the “injured reserve list”, the laughs, our planning partners, the laughs, the stories, the laughs, the jokes, the citizen’s arrests, the laughs, never knowing whether Darrel is telling the truth but always knowing Misty is, the laughs – did we mention the laughs??!!
We have had SO MUCH FUN with these two! The Loop is an awesome adventure but our Loop was made even better for the time that we got to spend with Misty and Darrel! They were the BEST BUDDY BOAT EVER!
