A HUGE Gold Looper CONGRATULATIONS to Ed Penn, Solo Looper, on "Lovett" his 400 Mainship. Ed just crossed his wake this morning passing Yellow Creek south of Pickwick Lock & Dam. I had the pleasure to get to know this fine gentleman and actually run with him, Honey Badger, and Beech Bum last week down the Illinois from Hammond, IN to Peoria, IL. Finishing the Loop is a major accomplishment, it is even bigger doing it solo. Congratulations, Ed! Well done! Those of you who have Nebo, reach out and congratulate him! 😎 Sam GreatLoopAcademy - What Yacht To Do - AGLCA Sponsors
