I need a post that goes step by step through how to convince a wife to embark on this journey. I feel like this is something you build up to - I tried the more direct approach. Quick failure. I'm now trying to show her possible boats!

I showed mine this thread. Next thing I knew she was Googling boats and looking up loop blogs / social media.

My wife does not like boats, so she would never agree to go with me. She has stated she would fly to different places and meet up with me along the way. Im sure I could find some other family and friends to go with me. I just need the time and money for the boat now.
I would figure most Aggies have never heard of The Loop (I haven't) and the odds of randomly meeting other Aggie Loopers is pretty close to zero!TailG8TR said:
My wife and I are about 4000 miles into The Loop having left Kemah last Halloween....and have not yet met any other Aggie Loopers. Wanted to see if we might find some Aggie boaters as we leave Canada and begin to head south. Heck of an adventure !
...and the "teachers aren't paid enough" discussion was officially declared dead.TailG8TR said:
My wife and I taught HS for 35 years.....lived beneath our means...traveled a lot but saved a lot. Set goals. Stuck to them. Made it happen.....whatever the "it" was as we went along.
This adventure is within reach of LOTS of people. Do NOT need a huge expensive boat....ambition, perseverance and preparation.
It may have been TailG8TR, but I'm pretty sure there was a thread on here previously about the loop. That's how I knew what it was.one safe place said:I would figure most Aggies have never heard of The Loop (I haven't) and the odds of randomly meeting other Aggie Loopers is pretty close to zero!TailG8TR said:

Wall St. Journal had an article on it back during Covid. That's how I knew about it.AgLA06 said:It may have been TailG8TR, but I'm pretty sure there was a thread on here previously about the loop.

I think, judging by the stars you'll get, you'll see we want more.TailG8TR said:
I hope this is not too much...or too boring...if so, tell me and I'll knock it off. But if it is enjoyable to y'all....I will try to make updates when I have time and good connectivity
Hope the pics follow soon
