Schedule of events

Friday, August 18

Arrive, launch boats and tie up in the marina.

6 PM group dinner at the Islander Bar, a short walk from the marina.

Saturday, August 19

Mandatory skipper's meeting in the morning (time TBD).

Go sailing and end up at the location to anchor for the night, possibly Government Bay or Duck Bay. Distance is about 10 miles, more or less, depending on the route we take and where we decide to go. 

Depending on the weather, we may choose to sail on Lake Huron, or take a sheltered route in among the islands. 

Raft up for a group dinner, each boat is on their own for food.  

Anchor for the night.

Plan to be self-sufficient, there will be no facilities on shore.

Sunday, August 20

Go sailing for the day, and end up back at Hessel marina. Again, we can sail on Lake Huron or a sheltered route among the islands, depending on the weather. Boats should be prepared to motor if there is no wind.

6PM group dinner, either at the Islander Bar, or possibly at Les Cheneaux Culinary School (I'm inquiring about this)

Skippers are on their own to make reservations at the marina. The tentative plan is to anchor out on Saturday night, but skippers may wish to reserve their slip for all three nights in case plans change due to inclement weather.
