Members of the America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association Form Speakers Bureau to Inform Intrigued Boaters of The Great Loop

CHARLESTON, SC (August 2008) — Cruisers dreaming and learning about the most amazing adventure on the North American waterways, The Great Loop, can now gather valuable information first hand from the America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association’s newly formed Speakers Bureau. Launching this August, experienced members of the AGLCA are eager to share their wealth of knowledge accrued from their voyage to enhance the journey of those who are still planning for, dreaming of or about to embark on America’s Great Loop.

The Great Loop attracts adventurous cruisers nationwide that are seeking to experience the excitement and wonder of seeing new cities in the United States and Canada from the water’s edge, the challenge of navigating the great North American waterways or simply searching for long lasting camaraderie fulfilled by fellow Loopers. While the journey is sure to be the greatest adventure of anyone’s life, there are many unexpected challenges and places not to be missed while on the water that only experienced Loopers could fully elaborate on. Cruisers and those dreaming of cruising can benefit immensely from a presentation by a member of the AGLCA’s Speakers Bureau.

AGLCA, located in Summerville, SC, is a family of people who share a sense of adventure and a curiosity about America’s Great Loop. Janice and Steve Kromer, avid boaters, are in charge of AGLCA. This semi-retired couple is a proof that one’s hobby can become a profession. Last December, the Kromers took over the organization, Janice taking on the role of the executive director. Steve and Janice Kromer are the original founders of Tele-Tech Services, also located in Summerville. Both Janice and Steve have a significant amount of boating under their belts as well as a long history with the US Power Squadron in Charleston. Janice is a former Squadron Commander and Steve served six years as Educational Officer. Although, they are just partially Looped, they know more about the “blue interstate” than many weathered sailors. The Kromers own a 50’ Marine Trader, No Sense3, and get on the water as much as their semi-retired status allows them.
