Hello, we are Donna and Rex Couch from Austin, TX. For over 25 years we have dreamed of traveling the waterways of America’s Great Loop. In seven days we will head to our boat, a 49′ Grand Banks Eastbay named BellaBlue. After purchasing BellaBlue in October 2017, we put her in heated storage for the long winter in Oxford, MD. Now, it’s finally time to depart. We will provision and ready the boat with all the last minute details before heading to the AGLCA Rendezvous in Norfolk, VA. We are looking forward to meeting other ‘Loopers’ and learning all about this fantastic voyage. Norfolk is where we will head north and begin our adventure on the Great Loop. Gracie, our dog, is not quite as excited as we are!
