[Public-List] Alden 32

[Gordon Laco]

I was daydreaming about doing the Lake Huron  Port Huron to Mac race and
having my family meet me up north somewhere for the cruise back... Maybe
this could work.

I accepted the role of G.Bay cruising guy for the Great Lakes A30 assoc -
perhaps we could make this our event?
