A Solo Great Loop Adventure

Seeking adventure and solitude, this cruiser was ready to take on the challenge alone.

Along with her dogs and a (very) occasional guest, Maria Langer crossed her wake after more than 8,000 nautical miles on the Great Loop aboard her Ranger Tugs R-29 Do It Now. 

The former financial analyst, freelance writer and helicopter pilot is now semi-retired, but she hasn’t slowed down. She teaches boat-handling skills in Washington’s San Juan Islands, and, also a silversmith, sells her crafts at art shows in Washington and Arizona.

Langer is the author of My Great Loop Adventure: Tales of a (Mostly Solo) Great Loop Cruiser. She writes about her experiences at mygreatloopadventure.com.
