Any Whalers out there interesting on getting together some weekend during the summer here in SW Michigan.
I was thinking like a South Haven to Saugatuck or vice versa. Or Saugatuck to Holland or vice versa. Holland to Grand haven or vice versa or New Buffallo to Michigan City on way or the other.
These are all 10 to 20 nm over open water and each port has a couple of miles of river we can putt around 'up' and 'down'. Overall a nice day with lunch at the go to Port and dinner at starting/finishing port.
All these ports have nice boat ramps.
Let me know if there is any interest and when you can go and I'll organize it.
Personally I like to look at the last couple of weekends in July or first couple of weekends in August.

Sounds like fun. Would prefer the northern venue over Michigan City.

I agree I rather do South Haven Saugatuck or Saugatuck Holland but for the Illinois and Indiana people that is a little longer Drive
Let us see what kind of replies we get otherwise you and I can do something

I'm pretty open most of the weekends this summer with exception of the weekends of June 23 (must do Vessel Exams), August 25th, July 7th.
Any other weekend I'm open as of now so maybe we can find a mutual Saturday or Sunday when we can get together.
We should be able to find some IL, IN, and or OH people within a couple of hours that could join us. Let your fellow Whaler know and I'll start planning. PM and/or direct email is fine with me.
