- It is our final cruise down the Illinois River and in this video you get a slice of life, as we peel back the onion a bit and show how our days are spent! We have a plan A to end up at a local restaurant and plan B will take us to the junction of the Mighty Mississippi!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

17:00. Look at Jen lassoing that cleat! That dock line is a natural extension of her hand and arm. Go girl.
I'm a retired New Zealander and absolutely loving your Great loop vlogs, I lived and worked in the States 20yrs ago and always wanted to boat the Great lakes and do the Great loop
Loved the split screen as y'all exited the lock! Super cool to see both of your perspectives!
We are sure enjoying the journey....
Your 🇨🇦🇨🇦 followers..
Some of your videos trigger the realization of how professional your camera work/editing is. I really like the split screen piece when you left the lock.
Thanks so much! We’re glad you liked the split screen, aligning the videos to the exact millisecond took a while but it was a fun edit!
Just discovered your channel a month or so ago and loving it. I knew that you could make the trip you are on but had no clue that it was called AGL. This particular video is near is near where I used to live (Alton IL). Grafton is a great place to visit, eat, sightsee, bike, etc. I actually grew up boating on the Mississippi, Missouri & Illinois rivers in the early 70’s. I now live south of STL on the IL side. Crossing the Jefferson Barracks Bridge the I often see cruisers heading south.
Great channels and adventures… travel safe!!
Your videos have become works of cinematic art. The pacing, the subject matter and how it is framed, and above all the stories contained in each episode …just, wow. And, oh yeah, it’s still incredibly enjoyable to be along for the ride and do the Great Loop from my iPad! Keep it up and know how much your hard work is appreciated. 👍 (that’s a wagging thumb 😂)
😂😂👍👍
Hi guys! Always love your videos! You have a note in this video that the ball-diamond-ball day mark tells you which side to pass on. This is actually the day Mark for a vessel limited in its ability to maneuver. (Colregs Rule 27). Thanks for the great videos! Love sharing your travels!
Great cruise and video! How cool to meet a subscriber as you were pulling into the boat slip at the marina!
Great video guys. I always ove when I run into one of my subscribers, its so fun. Enjoy the Ride
I really like the look with your hair down.
Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work and effort that goes into the filming and editing of these videos. Loved the birds flying at 1:08. Ollie♥️♥️♥️
Enjoyed the video, keep them coming!
Poor Ollie. Our boat dog hated walking on wooden planks for some reason. And most docks are made of wood so yeah, she got carried sometimes.
I like the split screen images
Thanks Andrew, it was a fun edit, we are glad you liked it!
The Mississippi is a busy river and can also include some surprises. The history of the US is centered in this area as the west was just wilderness and fur traders came from the north and the rest is history. Now you can follow. Enjoy
Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Kevin 😁
I've watch all of your Loop videos and watch the newest releases soon after you post them. I'll be starting my Loop from Minnesota in a week or so. Your vids are very helpful. One suggestion: Can you give the date of each trip? It would help to know the approximate time of the season you are at each location. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for watching! We do include the dates filmed in the description of all our videos! This one was filmed on 9/26 👍
For general dates, we got into Canada first week of July, into Chicago 9/16, and got into Florida around the New Years, but you'll have to stay tuned for those :) Also generally you want to be in the Chesapeake Bay by May and for us, we left the Keys at the fist of March to accomplish that.
Cheers!
It gets more and more exciting, knowing that you will complete The Great Loop! It will be interesting to see how the drought has affected the Mississippi River.
This video makes me miss the rivers so much. Another fine Scho and Jo video.
Thanks Michael!
Love what y'all are doing, you just went by Naples IL, I have a farm out there, this was your trip between beardstown and grafton
Super cool!
I noticed the Fla Gator blanket( Go Dawgs😂)where are y’all originally from? I’ve never heard of The Great Loop before finding your videos. This is now something I want to do.
haha Go 🐊 - Our families are from just outside of Jacksonville, FL but we consider Atlanta as our home since it was our first home together. The great loop is a fantastic adventure, if you decide to take the leap you won't regret it!
You'll love the Mighty Mississippi. Can you maybe read some quotes from Mark Twain in the upcoming videos for added inspiration? 😊
Haha if we could go back in time, this is a great idea!
You guys know how to present an interesting story. Just found you a couple of weeks ago and I am enjoying your journey. Do you have a background in video production?
Len - San Diego
Thanks for the comment Len! We don't I (Elliot) have a background in software engineering and Jen has a background in Urban Planning and Architecture, all our video production and storytelling has been learning here on TH-cam. If you watch some of our early videos you will see just how we started, knowing nothing :) We try to just improve by a little bit each video and over time see some results!
I'm curious, and plan on going to your early videos so this may be answered for me.... But, you've always replied to my questions, and have given me love for my comments on multiple socials when I promote your channel and whatnot. Lol.
First, do you have patreon? How do yall finance all of this? Because while you're my favorite loop channel, you don't have a ton of followers on YT. Remote workers or a saved up nestegg? You also don't seem like trustfunders (no hate if you are)
I'll say this. Even though you don't have hundreds of thousands of followers, your content is top notch, and consistent and it makes me wonder how I can support yall more.
I also know these videos are about a year behind, so I'm curious what yall are up to next?
Saw on fb a few days ago the announcement of completing the loop, in February. Lol
Thanks so much! We finance this through a few ways, the first being the various income sources for content creation, aka ads, patreon, etc. The second is we do a little remote work to make ends meet while Scho and Jo grows. Finally we simply try and be as frugal as possible! Thats very kind of you to offer to support us, we have a page on our website detailing the options schoandjo.com/say-thanks and honestly simply subscribing, commenting, and even sharing is a fantastic way to show your support. Thank you!
I find this part very interesting since I live in Illinois and I am with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. But where are the clips where you guys are yelling and swearing at each other?🤣 All this way and no arguments?
😂😂😂
Do you remember which ferry it was at 13:00?
Haha sorry Chris, we're honestly not sure! I think know its between Beardstown and the end of the Illinois River does narrow it down.
@@SchoandJo Ha! No problem, I think I figured it to be Kampsville, but the buildings on the shore via Google Maps images, didn't quite match your video. Aprpreciate the reply, just living vicariously through you two!
