May 12-15 Weekend Cruise to Kelly's Island, Ohio Start from Mazurik Boat Launch or other nearby boat ramps. Stay at Kelly's Island State Park and Harbor. Campsites must be reserved through the Ohio State Park System. You may prearrange sharing a site, or sleep anchored out. There are good small boat anchorage sites off the park and harbor this time of year. There is a marina and slips available on the south side of the island. You must check mast clearance for each boat ramp site. Distance from Mazurik to Kelly Island is about five nautical miles. It is near Sandusky, Ohio on Lake Erie. Sailing is subject to weather conditions which are variable this time of year. This is a resort island with restaurants and bars within walking distance of the State Park. Organiser: Robert Mosher |

September 24-25 Bayou Lacassine Drift, Bayou Lacassine, Louisiana
A drift is when we start at a launch site and either sail, row, pole or motor as a group. No one is left behind. Sometimes a drift downstream means we return to the starting point to take out.
