A Special SYC Winter Event and Fund-Raiser
CRUISING THE GREAT LOOP
Hors d'Ouevres/Wine - 7 pm
Program Begins - 8 pm
The Great Loop is the continuous waterway that encompasses the eastern portion of North America – including the Atlantic and Gulf Intracoastal Waterways, the Great Lakes, the Canadian Heritage Canals, and the inland rivers of America's
heartland. It is also known as the Great Circle Route and is considered one of the safest long distance cruising
routes in the world. To travel all -- or a portion of the Great Loop -- any of its magnificent side trips -- is an adventure
of a lifetime. The Board is considering several alternative speakers for this event who have first hand knowledge of this route and the adventures that await cruisers who travel these waters. This event will be held at the
Saugatuck Women's Club.
Speaker and details to be announced.
