53 Questions Submitted Feedback/ Questions to Ask: How much will it cost? What is the maximum draft and bridge clearance? My question is what is the record for the fastest loop? Good places to dock - (conversely ) places to avoid. Hazards ("This bay is notorious for XYZ".) Places to spend extra time. Challenges. Resources...(aka Will A Tampa Girl go on a Great Loop? Places of interest, ie museums, cultural and historical attractions, costs involved, places and areas to re-provision, etc How many fishing license and their cost? I would focus on resources (i.e. the above websites) and etiquette (i.e. passing large ships, barges, other pleasure craft, etc) What side trips (such as Lake Superior) would you do? Which route did you take (number of options)? If you did it again, what stops would you do again versus avoid? Where would you spend more time, why? What was your percentage of anchoring versus marinas? Docks and good stops Max boat height and max draw
