Mike already sits as Port Captain for Florida Keys, Fla. & Mackinaw City, Mich.

We’ve had an exceptional boating season after bouncing back from the pandemic. We were able to hold our annual summer Rendezvous again!  This time in beautiful Mackinaw City, Mich. (H-76.5).

One of the highlights of this past summer's Great Lakes Cruising Club Rendezvous was a Coast Guard Helicopter rescue demonstration. Impressive seamanship and piloting by the USCG! This great video taken, edited and narrated by GLCC Treasurer and Past Commodore Niels Jensen captures it well.

ALL Great Lakes Cruising Club members,      This email to the Foundation, which we've forwarded, is from one of our recently approved Grant applications. The original request was for funds to purchase a couple of 'header,' docks to launch the creation of a marina at the Silver Islet Harbour (S-128) on Lake Superior. Fortunately, our "seed," money helped spark an abundance of interest and financial support, to this worthy project. Their success so far has even exceeded their expectations, and they are now well ahead of schedule with their development of this harbour. 

Newly appointed Port Captains Rob Hillman and his wife Kelly took up sailing as a retirement adventure.
