The America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association (AGLCA), an on-line community of Great Loop cruisers with headquarters in Charleston, SC, is thrilled to announce its ever-popular annual Fall Rendezvous and Reunion. The four-day long festivities, presentations and workshops will take place on October 25-28, 2009, at Joe Wheeler State Park in Rogersville, Alabama.
This year’s fall gathering, AGLCA’s largest annual Rendezvous and Reunion, is once again taking place at Joe Wheeler State Park Marina. Most attendees of the Fall Rendezvous have been on the Loop for several months, and coming to Wheeler means reuniting with friends they have met along the way. Staying in one marina, surrounded by magnificent scenery just off the main Tennessee River, allows for mixing and mingling with old friends and new members. Traditionally, the Fall Rendezvous offers presentations about the waterway journey from Alabama to South Carolina, general lessons on safety, vessel safety checks and valuable cruising information about the mid-western rivers.
The highlight of the event is the Looper Crawl. The socializing continues with this event as Loopers open their “homes” to one another. This is a great chance for new comers to see what Loop old timers like and dislike about the vessel they have chosen. The association is starting a Harbor Host program where experienced Loopers will provide assistance and information to fellow Loopers comings into their area. There will be a seminar at the Fall Rendezvous explaining the program and all interested Harbor Hosts are invited to attend if they are at the Rendezvous.
The event is limited to AGLCA members; however, the association offers trial memberships for those who are interested in learning about the Great Loop and the association. Space is limited and an early registration is required.
