We sent an official announcement to the AGLCA about crossing our wake...they published this on their website and sent press releases to the Wichita Eagle, East Wichita News, and Wilson County Citizen.

Captain Floyd Walpole and First Mate Linda Hoobler completed the Great Loop aboard TUMBLEWEED crossing their wake at St. Charles, Missouri, at 9:30 AM CDT on September 4, 2011. What a great adventure! The amazing places, the kind and friendly folks, the interesting creatures, the trials and tribulations, the laughs, the tears, the challenges, the food, the wind, the tides; we treasure it all. We started from Polestar Marina in St. Charles in July of 2008 and we will celebrate at Polestar Marina with family and friends on September 5, 2011. From there we will head for the Tennessee River and our new home port at Ditto Landing Marina in Huntsville, Alabama. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Joe Wheeler.

Floyd and Linda
