Gotta love living on this Lakeshore. Fall is the best. Just hope any remaining tourists pay attention.

Safety At Sea at Muskegon Yacht Club, May 7-8, 2022
Hello everyone, we've tentatively scheduled a two-day Safety at Sea seminar at Muskegon Yacht Club the first weekend in May 2022.
US Sailing tells me that in-person Day 1 attendance is generally waning due to the availability of online courses, but we're going to at least start with the idea that we'll be doing day one in person. We will probably be at Muskegon Community College as we were in 2017.
The hands-on Day 2 programming is still in demand. That will definitely be at MYC.
Save the date!

Getting into the pool the first week of May sure introduces you to the reality of hypothermia.
It was a great class, can't wait to do it again !

I jumped in for several seminars in Toledo. Maumee River was not warm in April!

What a perfect night here in A2! I can't imagine how amazing it would have been over there.

Hello everyone, we've settled on May 21 and 22 (Sat/Sun) for the two-day Safety at Sea with hands on training at MYC. This gets us out of the Mothers' Day conflict and hopefully gets us better weather for the pool time. 
Bruce Brown will be moderator. Day one will tentatively be held at Muskegon Community College again. Day two at MYC.
We plan to have online registration on the MYC website by 12/1. US Sailing will put their link up as soon as MYC registration is live.
If you attended our 2017 event and your email hasn't changed, you will receive an email link to registration. I will also post a link here once it becomes available.
Cheers,
Brad

If you are in Milwaukee, I would inquire with Manitowoc Marina. No real connection, but am an acquaintance of the owner. He and I began working there in the 80's; he stayed in the industry, I decided to keep sailing as a hobby rather than a career. Manitowoc now also owns Nest Egg in Marinette, WI and a friend had them install a new suite of Raymarine electronics this past season. He was happy with their work and timeliness. Obviously different staff, but would think work "culture" to be similar.
Having bought a brokerage boat years ago that was located at Crowleys, if you have any desire to check in on progress, just the convenience factor of avoiding driving to the south side of Chicago might make Manitowoc more appealing.
Kinda late in the year to go by water but my first choice would be Torreson in Muskegon.
Great work, honest price for the quality and good people. And you can ride the Vomit Comet to and from!

Hey all, in case you have not heard. LMPHRF and DYRA have merged and the new organization will be known as Midwest PHRF or MWPHRF. the new web site is www.mwphrf.org is is up and active. You can apply for your new PHRF certificate now HERE. Actual Certificate May not be available for a few weeks as they are still addressing how to deal with boats that are rated differently on the two sides of the Michigan but that won't take long to sort out.
Basically DYRA's handicappers wanted to step down and LMPHRF has much better technology so the merger is a win/win. So much so that from a chance encounter of the leadership in the Bayview bar to finalized merger took less than three months. Nice job to both boards!

That's not a bad thing, and helps take some of the regionalism out of it. Now Lake Erie is another issue, though some there used to play nice with DRYA. Thanks for this!
Yep. I went to renew my cert yesterday and saw the change. The website is working as is the Pay Pal linkage. I received a message that I am in the queue and once the handicappers review my info they will issue a new cert.
