[Public-List] Alden 32

[Cherry, Jim]

I have a question.......I've been following this link for a couple of days now and this is starting to get interesting.
I really don't know yet all of the boats names and the owners and where they're located.
Our boat is in the St Lawrence so it would be too long a trip to get to the North Channel.....but I'm started to get interested in attending a 'get- together' if it was in the North Channel as a 'drive-in'. 
I happen to have family in The Soo and they have a camp at Hilton Beach. I can certainly vouch for the fact that it would be a great place to meet.....nice marina.....the "Tiltin' Hilton" hotel.
Is there an A30 moored at Hilton...????   I've never noticed one before....

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?
