PERFECT MATCH HAS CROSSED HER WAKE!
While we did not stop in St. Petersburg, where we started this epic adventure, we did take a photo as we crossed our wake there (completed the Loop):
Once docked in Sarasota, we opened a bottle of champagne and swapped our white AGLCA burgee for a gold one and, just like that, we went from being “Loopers” to being “Gold Loopers”!
Misty and Darrel had made dinner reservations for us at the marina dining room and sent a gift card for us to celebrate our crossing in style! We enjoyed a wonderful Calamari appetizer, salads, and delicious filets along with a bottle of wine. Boy, do we miss those two!
