Why We Needed a Break From the Loop | 25.15

Boat life wasn't everything we thought it would be. Some of it was, and some of it wasn't. We always knew we were taking a chance on something we might not enjoy, and now we know more of what we like and what we don't about living aboard our 40-year-old Albin trawler. In this update, we're sharing what made our first attempt at the Great Loop so stressful, what we learned from the experience, and why taking a break was the right decision for us. We're not done adventuring—we're just figuring out what kind of adventures fit us best.
