Joe and Diana Lehr Keeping with past tradition, we have a great cruise planned with a nice balance of sailing and sightseeing. The majority of our destinations are marinas that are a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants and parks. Each destination on our cruise is also an easy drive from one to the other for the landlubbers in our families that won't want to miss out on the fun. Yes, on this cruise you can have your cake and eat it too!

So, get out those calendars and block out the first week of August. Attached is the registration form and general information with itinerary. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us. See you at Boyne City, August 1st!
