## Resource

Most Loopers know about AGLCA’s educational resources, events, and community support, but are you taking full advantage of all the benefits included with your membership? In this episode of the Great Loop Radio podcast, the Home Port Crew shares five of the most under-used AGLCA member benefits that can make your Looping journey easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Kim Russo and Karen Nettles discuss how the Member Directory can help you connect with fellow Loopers with whom you have something in common, why Harbor Guides are one of the most valuable planning tools available to cruisers, and how downloadable .gpx files can simplify route planning and navigation. They also highlight discounts and special offers available from AGLCA sponsors and explain how the AGLCA App puts important resources right at your fingertips while underway. Whether you’re still dreaming about the Loop, actively planning, or already cruising, this episode will help you get even more value from your AGLCA membership and introduce you to resources you may not even realize you have access to. Want to learn more about the Great Loop? How about building camaraderie with others who have done the whole route so you can find out what it's actually like?
