      <image:caption>We spend a lot of time in our salon, and having a big map of the United States (with our route embroidered on it) has been great for unprompted discussions about where certain events in history happened, what state might have a suitable environment for certain animal types and more. We get lots of opportunities to talk about geography and our route, and the kids are constantly making connections from what we’re learning in each place we visit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We loved celebrating Thanksgiving with other boaters when we arrived in Mobile, AL to wrap up our river portion of the Loop. When we arrived, the marina owner knew we were coming and had his family’s leftover turkey on a platter and ready for us. Each boat assembled something to contribute to the meal. We made cake and chocolate chip pumpkin bread! We had so much fun celebrating with the boaters we had just traveled the last few weeks with down the river!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We enjoy this game as it’s quick to learn and doesn’t take too long to go around the group for a round. We’ve played with as few as two people and as many as eight people with a single deck. With eight people, we needed to shuffle the discard pile once to have enough cards in the draw pile for all four times around the table. To the left, you’ll see how we arrange our four cards in a 2x2 grid, flipping one card over each turn.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On the Great Loop, you'll frequently dock and navigate locks. Skills like tossing lines, hooking lines on cleats, lassoing bollards, and using a boat hook to steady the boat are indispensable. Practice these skills early on and learn together as a family. Younger kids might not be ready to toss lines but can tidy dock lines into neat coils, preventing tangles and ensuring they're ready for the next use. Tying knots, like the clove hitch, cleat hitch, and bowline, boosts self-confidence. Keep books or cards on board to practice these knots.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Involve your kids in simple maintenance tasks like checking the oil, cleaning the boat, and inspecting safety equipment. Explain the steps you take and why they're important. Teach your kids about the boat's systems, such as the engine, electrical systems, and plumbing. These skills translate into valuable life skills for the future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>America's Great Loop - Sailing Family Blog -  Learning About Our Independence - When we visited the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Southport, NC, we saw how long tail feathers (called "quills") were turned into quill pens by carving the tip to a sharp point. Then, we dipped the sharp end into an ink well and could use it to write. We also learned that when these were popular pens, they usually didn't keep the feathers on them but trimmed them so they looked a bit like modern pens!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ve practiced writing with a quill pen. Time to sign it!</image:caption>
