The Great Lakes boating season is winding down as boats are heading for home or being hauled out for the season. But for those who are still enjoying the season, a few new reports have been added to the North Channel collection along with new aerial images for Ashtabula.

New Harbor Reports have been added for Darch Island and Innes Island under the Benjamin Islands and Nearby Islands section. And new drone images have been added showing the layout of the Cleveland Yacht Club at Rocky River.

We are happy to announce that Okeechobee Lodge in Baie Fine is accepting guests with advance reservations. A new Harbor Report has been created with the details. We've also added some excellent aerial photos covering a variety of marinas on Lake Erie.
