*****What a great series. An adventure in every part and very HOT Sex!! Thanks for this very entertaining read!!!!!!
A truly enjoyable story! I look forward to more great stories in the future!
Dr beulahthemick; I know all stories have to end, but I am truly sorry to see the end of this one, it has been one of the absolute best on here, one had to look at `Mature' every day to see if there was another episode. I for one will miss the adventures of Rick and Bob et al and I hope that in the not too distant future, there will be another adventure for them, including Ann and Max and all the others. Good-bye for now, five stars naturally.
Doing the Great Loop is a dream of mine and I follow the Great Loop Facebook page. Reading the story was great, hopefully someday I can make the trip for real. Till then, your fantasy trip was incredible.
That was a wonderful story. Sometimes life can pull you down, but if you try you can definitely improve the quality of how you live. Loved it
Thank you for a wonderful story..Loved your Imagination.. Cheers on your next adventure.
That was a grand story. Many thanks for your efforts. Kept me enthralled all the way through. If you do decide to bring these folks back, I will be only too pleased to read about them!!
Almost sad to see this end but I enjoyed every chapter along the way. Well done! And if you feel like writing some more down the line I'll be reading :)
Sorry the Ferris Wheel was created in Pittsburgh, PA not Chicago. George Ferris was born in Pittsburgh, PA and created it here.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome. Thank you for the time and effort for our enjoyment. Well Done!
Awesome story "Rick"! I really liked the compassion, friendship, sharing and love that was expressed, as well as the "adventure" Literotica doesn't have to be smut! Real life is complicated enough. This was a good entertaining story. Can't wait for the new one!
AWESOME tale of the Sea!!! Way to go, thanks for sharing ....wonderfully written!
This has been a wonderful story! Well written!
Now, what the hell am I going to be looking forward to each day!
Every trip finally ends. Looking forward to many mini-trips in the future with our adventurers. It was fun while it lasted ... truly a "5". Thanks for the "loop"
Sad that the trip is over, for us voyeurs. But, Happy with the 'ending.'
So so sorry that it has ended; for now. Really enjoyed reading this story and was anxious for each and every chapter to be listed. Thanks again for a lovely story.
Too Cool! Loved it, you are a great writer! I searched every day looking for another chapter. Please keep up the great work!!!! (Albuquerque NM)
Wow .. what a great ride !! Thank you so much .. I hope there is more to come ..
Loved this whole series it was brilliantly written Thanks again. Looking forward to your next big adventure
Excellent story and well written. I know THAT bridge, Barely made it under myself. Enjoyed the trip back down memory lane - but yours was far more enjoyable!
Well done! I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to the next adventure you share with us.
A wonderful story. Like so many others have said, I was sorry to see it end (and at the perfect place). 5*****.
More than 35 years ago my late wife and I sailed all over the Chesapeake Bay for two summers, but had to sell our Columbia for financial reasons. Never heard of "the loop" until I read your story. Now I getting the urge to start sailing again, but at 75 years old I'm afraid that I don't have the motivation and physical ability to refurbish an old sailboat or the funds to purchase a fairly new boat. Oh, well, I can still dream.
It ended that one, but please begin another.. Rick and Bob could begin to do grand loop cruises, teach large boat operation in open water.......there are endless possibilities that I hope you explore.
thanks for a most enjoyable series I look forward to reading more in the future
Scintillating! Inspiring!
You took us all Anchors Away on a fantastic voyage … hitting way close to home. And I thank you.
Two thumbs ‘Away up’ to buchneckid2000
The whole antenna thing is a vestige of the past. In olden days before VHF radios boats needed big antennas and ground plates attached to the hull to communicate. Since VHF came into being while very large vhf antennas are available to help communicate further say 35 miles. A small vehicle style antenna(19-36 inches) mounted below or on the railing will get 15 miles range easily with a 25 watt radio. A boat only needs long antennas for mf/hf ssb radios for blue water sailing when your out of vhf range say 25 or more miles off the coast and using a mf/hf ssb radio which can communicate hundreds or thousands of miles. As far as hinged antennas that is normal installation procedure it would be unusual not to have a hinge

Truly enjoyed every episode. Regularly looked for the next segment. A great travelogue. From Michigan, loved all the stops and visits.
One of the best stories that I have ever read.
I hope that someday you do travel the Great Loop.
I looked forward to every chapter. The journey, and the idea of a young woman falling in love with an old guy like me was awesome. If you never really made the Loop, you sure did your homework! Thank you!
Great story held my attention all the way through. As a Brit I found the descriptions of the various places absolutely fascinating - I just hope you were reasonably accurate in general if not in fine detail.
Wonderfull storey, enjoyed the boating aspect and the happy couple Rick and Bob. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well…the Loop has been my goal since I was a small boy. So this hit home. Now, I still work, even though I’m retirement age. Not sure my wife would enjoy the Loop like I would. She says we should do it. IDK.
Thanks for the story.
