Power boat sinks at Hangdog Point
Attached is a photo of a $1.2M fully instrumented power boat that reputedly followed a local fishing boat that cut the corner at Hangdog Point in Georgian Bay. It was the second boat to hit the rocks in 2 weeks. I will be adding some notes to this part of the GLCC Harbour Reports.
Matheson Island Photos Wanted
The harbor reports have no photo of a popular spot—Matheson Island, in the Barren Island area (NC-31). If you have photos of the anchorage, please post them in the photo gallery and send and e-mail to the Log Book Committee.
And, of course, photos of all other harbors are welcome.

Lake Superior Rally Update

The Lake Superior 21st Anniversary Rally was held Friday, August 15, through Sunday, August 17, at Silver Bay Marina, Minnesota. It marked a return of the event to this popular venue, which also was the site of the 2004 Rally.
Rear Commodore Duane Flynn organized the event.
Copper Harbor Marina Resumes Gasoline Sales After Removing Ethanol Blend
The Copper Harbor Marina, MI, has resumed sale of gasoline. The prompt resolution of the fuel problem is greatly appreciated by the boaters, who cruise the Keweenaw Peninsula.
There were several instances of the engines stalling in boats, which had taken on gasoline at the marina. The fuel contained ethanol, which is known to cause serious problems for some gasoline-powered boats elsewhere in the nation. The marina’s tanks were pumped out and refilled with premium (non-ethanol) gasoline.
