SUMMARY:Apostle Islands Cruise - 22 Catalina 22s
DESCRIPTION:An adventure like no other! Often referred to as the “Caribbean of the North” this lake is unsalted and shark free! Launch from Bayfield\, Wisconsin for a week-long adventure filled with lighthouses\, amazing sunsets\, and pristine beaches. catalina22.org/ \nJoin us this year for the Apostle Islands Cruise August 12 to 17\, 2024. It will be an adventure like no other. Often referred to as the “Caribbean of the North” this lake is unsalted and shark free! Well\, that is if you don’t include my boat “Lake Shark”. We will launch from Bayfield\, Wisconsin for a weeklong adventure filled with lighthouses\, amazing sunsets\, and pristine beaches. \nSo\, make plans now to register for what was a favorite cruise in 2022 and now back for a new adventure in 2024. With 22 islands to explore\, there’s never enough time to see them all. Still\, we will have a great mix of anchoring out and marina stops. Of course\, there is still the option to join us for a shorter cruise if a week is just more fun than you are quite ready for. \nThis year\, please note that securing a marina slip is on your own and must be booked in advance. We plan to stay in a slip Monday August 12 and Thursday August 15. Slips on Madeline Island this year are running just over $70 for the night\, and I would expect the same in Bayfield\, but I am still working with the city to see if we can work out a deal. Full details on the cruise and plans can be found at: \nLink to PLANS \nSo\, stop dreaming and start living. That project boat has spent enough time in the driveway so let’s get it out there on the water. Afterall “if anything is gonna happen its gonna happen out there”- Capt. Ron. So\, sign up today for the adventure of a lifetime and make some memories that you’ll share for generations. Registrations are available at: \nLink to REGISTRATION
