About
Janice Eaton Akers
Jimmy Akers
A total newbie at boating who can't remember why she agreed to this madness, Janice Eaton Akers has edited, authored, and co-authored many adult nonfiction and children’s titles including The Book of Wizard Craft, which was published in 20 languages. She and Jimmy used to live in the peaceful swamps of south Louisiana. Jimmy is the experienced boatsman, whose self-proclaimed alter ego is Shrek. Janice is already trying to decide whether to nickname him Bligh or Queeg.
The Great Loop 2018
Jimmy and Janice are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, following the 6,000-mile network of rivers, canals, lakes, and waterways throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada called the Great Loop...and seeing what it's really like for a old married couple to live together, truly together. 24/7. On a 36-foot single-engine trawler. For an entire year. Where no one can hear you shriek. Stay tuned and pass the popcorn.
