Looking for Crew

Join a couple of friends and I as we check out the Northern Channel of Lake Huron.

I have a Jeanneau 39 (a beautiful boat) reserved for August 6-12, 2017.The port of departure is based close to Little Harbor, ON. The cost of the boat split 6 ways is approximately $500us (a screaming deal with the Canadian exchange rate). Food and drink is extra.

 The sailing destination is the North Channel of Lake Huron.

From April 2014, Cruising World, pp48 (sent earlier)

“The North Channel is a rhapsody in rock and pine, high bluff,  and deep bay, orchestrated in its own key. The elevations are dramatic, the daylight long and sharp, the northern lights brilliant against the night sky. The North Channel is a state of mind, a distant haunt of peace, of timelessness, of mystery, of tempest, of aching beauty.”

Early August or September would be the perfect time to enjoy this spot. Waters will be warm, winds fair, few bugs and a high possibility of Northern Lights.
