The Great Loop Cruising & Lock Log

Eighty cruising days, a hundred locks, and only one wake you have to cross.

The Great Loop Cruising & Lock Log — An 80-day waterway logbook for locks, bridges, mile markers, fuel and anchorages on America's Great Loop. Designed by Taffrail Press in Denmark, drawing on more than 10 years of experience designing structured, seaworthy maritime logbooks.

What's inside (168 pages)
