You must be excited and a bit apprehensive about the unknown. Not to worry, you are not the first and you will not be the last. Provisions, fuel and services are easy all along the way. The skipper Bob books are a must, Activecaptain.com is a must and of course the AGLCA and its members are all there for help and input. One thing I can recommend beyond a reasonable doubt is the use of Valvtect diesel fuel. We used it exclusively and did not have one issue with fuel for the entire voyage. Valvtect has a website that locates all of its suppliers state by state, except Maryland and Canada, another must. Many of the Loopers we encountered had lots of problems with fuel and suffered with poor quality and engine troubles due to fuel. I attended a seminar at a construction expo one year and the speaker shot his mouth off about the Valvtect products,, it works, sometimes a few pennies more, sometimes a few miles farther but worth every nickel. We carried 600 gallons with 300 hp single so fuel stops where few and far between. Please contact us if you need any advice and if you don’t contact us when you come to South West Florida we will be seriously pissed. We are on the intercostal on your way to Okeechobee.
Regards, Pete
