  • 2012 Great Lakes Cruise

    July 22-28th, 2012

    After much debate and discussion, we have decided to cruise Grand Traverse Bay this year from July 22-28th.  That is a week earlier than normal but hopefully it won’t mess up anyone’s vacation planning. I will try to get some details and information together and send to all.

    Remember to check on www.fleet130.org for information also.

    Pass the word to other folks and get them thinking about trailering to the cruise.  It is a great place to sail and we might even throw in a trip out to the Manitoulin Islands if the weather is good.

    Let me know if you are interested so I can keep you on the list.

    Think Spring!
