The Great Loop Was Just the Beginning | Navigating Nietzels | Three Sheets Podcast Ep. 34

What happens when a young couple decides not to wait for "someday"? Karly and Evan of Navigating Nietzels join Erik Kyle and David Levesque on the Three Sheets Podcast to share how a dream of completing the Great Loop became the beginning of an even bigger cruising adventure. From finding the right boat and working remotely underway to buddy boating nearly the entire Great Loop alongside Josh and Haley of CruisinCasa, they discuss the lessons they learned, the friendships they built, and why the cruising lifestyle has them searching for their next boat instead of returning to life ashore.
