After reading this story I decided that I would never do this. I use to think I wanted to buy a sail boat and encircle the planet. I abandoned that idea too after watching the perils of others do it on social media. I’ll stay home and play guitar, its safer. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable book, except for a few really distracting passages... *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2012* I was really prepared to like this book for a lot of reasons. The author's wife had a South Dakota connection and we live in South Dakota. We're deeply into boating and expect to do the Great Loop someday. It was generally good reading and avoided getting into a rut, which some Great Loop blogs and books can easily do. "Today we sailed here, locked through, then sailed there, locked through..." The author avoids that temptation. The author and his wife also started the Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA) which is just huge to those doing or contemplating the Great Loop. I feel like I owe them some good will just for that. However, I would recommend this book except for one thing, and at least one of the other reviewers mentioned this. The author adopts this really snide and superior tone once in a while and gets downright insulting. For example, his mother in law joins the trip at one point, and he ceaselessly concentrates on her advanced age to the point where it got really irritating. He makes what he considers to be clever cracks about her age until it long stops being funny. More distracting though, he insults the United States and Americans just a few times, but so harshly that I don't know why he doesn't just renounce his citizenship. "Americans are strident and vulgar." He even attacks the U.S. national anthem. Now maybe he's trying to be funny again -- and if this were a political commentary book by Jon Stewart it wouldn't be so jarring or distracting. It's too bad he didn't have an editor to suggest he cut out even just the first page of Chapter 13. I'm not oversensitive about criticisms of the U.S., and I don't mind writing that explores cultural differences on a trip -- but those few harsh attacks on the U.S. and Americans and that superior, snobby tone he adopts from time to time were really distracting and grating.For those preparing to do the Loop this book is pretty dated now as far as specifics go. They did their trip in the mid 1990's, before 9/11, before $4 gas (well, $6 gas at marinas), before a lot of changes, but because the Stobs are the founders of AGLCA I would read it just for that reason. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very detailed account of their trip to help *by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2022* Good account of their trip and very helpful information for those planning to undertake such a Great Loop journey. The listing of information. Guides and summary of expenses was very helpful. The writing was done with detail and humor as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/199528-honey-lets-get-a-boat-a-cruising-adventure-of-americas](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/199528-honey-lets-get-a-boat-a-cruising-adventure-of-americas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
