Hey Kids remember us ?
It’s been a while since we have posted & this will be The Final Post for Gettin’ Looped.
This morning we watched our baby sail off with her new owner, Micah Graber.
Micah is a music professor at Toledo University, who has every summer off work.
He plans to make Gettin’ Looped his summer cottage, stationed in Saugatuck Michigan.
It was a wonderful 4 years of ownership, with memories we will never forget.
We loved her & will miss the Gettin’ Looped like we miss our dog Chelsea !
But as everything in life, it’s time to turn the page.
The plan after The Loop always was, and still is – a 1 year motorhome trip to about 40 of 59 National Parks.
This trip will probably occur in 2021CY.
Farewell Gettin’ Looped, we love you !
Lots of memories for you sailing off into the distance. Fortunately for us, we shared them through your wonderful posts. Thanks Mike and Jonell.
Thx to one of our most dedicated followers.
C U soon Joe.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! We loved it!💕
Sandra & Rodney
Thx Sandra,
Hopefully we see you guys in the near future.
Thx for following the trip.
Fast 4 years. Our loop starts June 1st 2020 or sooner.
Greg,
Send us your blog link when you take off.
We need to live thru other Loopers now.
Be aware – Illinois River closed spring of 2020, Lock Maintenance !
It will affect all 2020 Loopers from our area of the country.
Search the AGLCA daily forum website for “Illinois River Closure”.

Thanks for sharing a wonderful chapter in your lives Mike & Jonell. I looked forward to each post.
Did you wipe the tear from the corner of your eye as you watched her sail away?
Thx so much Georgi !
You were also one of our devoted blog followers.
I do regret that of our 36 visitors, we did not have you guys out !
What an adventure you had and shared with all of us. While Gettin’ Looped has a new home the memories you had with her will last a lifetime.
Thx Brian,
See you at the Regatta (in Scapini’s Vessel) !
I know that hurt your heart mike!!!!!
Yes, it made me sad (and relieved at the same time).
But, your sister was actually more emotional about the boat going bye-bye than I !
Congrats guys! What a journey – thanks for taking us with you!! We feel your bittersweet emotions for sure :/
Thx Jerry,
You guys were among the special friends we made along the way !
Appreciate all the time you spent following the blog.
Sad day buddy!

Met you in South Haven, MI
Brian,
I remember it, like it was yesterday.
South Haven was another favorite stop – Old Harbor Village was great.
Captain Lou’s, Idler Riverboat, & the Mayweather/McGregor fight !
We met you & Ken/Chris Smyth in South Haven.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, and for your hospitality while in Key West!! We can’t wait to follow along on your next cross-country adventure!
XoXo
