Buying a motor yacht and planning to circumnavigate Eastern North America with little or no experience with boats is a little wacky. Our first and only real boating experience a few years earlier had been chartering a thirty-foot faux tug and cruising through the Trent-Severn Waterway in Ontario, Canada, with Eva’s sister, Lelia, and her …more

Background:
Ron Stob was a travel writer and photographer for the San Luis Obispo County (California) Telegram-Tribune from 1984 through 1998, taking readers along the back roads in search of the obscure and unusual. He has written books on travel from Santa Barbara to Big Sur — Back Roads of the Central Coast, More/Exploring Back Roads of the Central Coast and Exploring San Luis Obispo and Nearby Coastal Areas. Another book is about A Cat Called Canoe.
With his wife, Eva, they have written and photographed for a variety of publications. Boating magazines include Soundings, Power and Motoryacht, (formerly) Trailer Boats Magazine, and Heartland Boating. RV magazines include Highways, Trailer Life, and Coast to Coast. Other magazines include Wildlife Conservation and Bluegrass Unlimited. Their photographs often appear on magazine covers.
The Stob’s have traveled throughout all 50 of the United States and abroad. Together they learned about boats and cruised for nearly a year aboard their forty-foot trawler, Dream O’Genie. Their award-winning, best-selling book, “Honey, Let’s Get a Boat…”: A Cruising Adventure of America’s Great Loop, is the story of their 6300-mile cruise encompassing 145 locks around Eastern North America. (To date 20,000 copies have been sold and the seventh printing is work-in-progress.) Another book, Great Loop Side Trips: 20 Cruising Adventures on Eastern North America’s Waterways, covers travel aboard their 25-foot trailerable boat, Li’l Looper.
In August 1999, they formed America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association, a network of boaters who cruise or dream of cruising the coastal and inland waterways that comprise the Great Loop.
Ron and Eva reside with their cat, Dulci, along the shores of the Little Tennessee River on Tellico Lake in the hills of East Tennessee. They travel and discover America’s scenic areas in their 5th-wheel travel trailer, and explore the inland waterways in their trailerable cruiser. A recent interest is playing acoustic music on guitar, lap and hammer dulcimers, and autoharps and attending folk and old time music festivals.
