Days 108-112 – Joe Wheeler State Park Marina, AGLCA Fall Rendezvous - October 22-26, 2011

We are at Joe Wheeler State Park to attend the AGLCA (America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association) Fall Rendezvous.  The AGLCA holds two rendezvous each year (one in the fall and one in the spring) in locations where Loopers are likely to be at that time of year.  They offer daily seminars on what to expect in the next sections of the Loop as well as helpful information for current Loopers and future Loopers (e.g. marine electronics, engine maintenance, provisioning).  There is also a chance to get a vessel safety check from the Coast Guard and a chance to tour some of the Looper boats that are in the marina.  We are learning a lot and enjoying the company of past, current and future Loopers.
