On the special Easter egg, Dubhe III was flying the gold flag! The firefighter who created the egg had been following the blog regularly. We'd told him about the gold flag. That's the flag you receive when you "cross your wake" or complete the Great Loop. It's sold by the AGLCA American Great Loop Cruisers Association and you must apply for this upon completion or shortly before completion to allow for shipping time. It's quite a celebration to those of us on the Loop. We've been fortunate enough to be in a marina with two other boats who have "Crossed their Wake" at that port. Always there is celebration and joy for the couple achieving what we have all set out to complete. There are many people out here doing this trip. It continues to surprise us and yet we are ever so grateful for the wealth of knowledge ahead of us and those who are willing to share pertinent information with those behind. We too have become one of those people to share our leg of the journey with those behind us. It has certainly be an adventure.
