Andy B Posted May 29 Author Report Posted May 29 I'm commenting to bump this up as a reminder for the September event. We've got two Core Sound boats committed, it would be great to add more! @Ted Johanson@Paul356@Reacher, we're just a quick (but expensive) ferry ride over! Quote
Don Silsbe Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 I’m coming all the way from North Carolina. Surely you can make it, too’ 1 Quote
Jonathan M. Cohn Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 It looks like a 10 hour drive for me but the timing is great. Can you tell us a little bit more about the event? 1 Quote
AmosSwogger Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 It's a long drive for me coming from VA, I can't commit yet, but am interested. Quote
PadrePoint Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 My family made plans for the September dates (and I couldn’t travel during most of May. Ted Quote

Jonathan, The location is Muskegon State Park, which is on an inland lake (Muskegon) that connects via channel to a protected harbor and then Lake Michigan. This is an informal gathering--last year I just posted in a bunch of places and about 8-12 folks showed up, sailboats of various makes, models, and conditions. Most people came in Friday night and I walked around the campground to meet them. Saturday we launched and sailed. The idea was to sail to a restaurant, but the conditions were sporty enough that didn't happen in large numbers. Sunday people went home. This year I am planning to get there earlier Friday, if I can, and maybe sail Sunday morning, depending on the weather. There are still camp spots to reserve in the "Channel Campground First Loop." If you have any questions, you can email me, blodgett.andy@gmail.com. 1 Quote
