Tuesday at the 2008 Rendezvous in Little Current featured a seminar on the geology of the North Channel, a knitters get-together, cardboard-boat races, an official meeting of the members with the GLCC officers, the world-famous Bilge Auction with auctioneer John Winter, and the formal final event—the Commodore's Dinner, Dance, and Awards Ceremony.

Monday was a busy day at the 2008 Rendezvous, with a seminar on nautical history, a port-captain's meeting, the annual dog show, and lots and lots of wind (for the third day in a row).

Evening dinner was "on  your own," but a large group assembled at Spider Bay for a bring-your-own barbecue and a salute to Rear-Commodore Bud Zalon, for his 80th birthday. 

The evening ended with a sing-along, featuring GLCC artists.

The 2008 Rendezvous got underway in Little Current, July 12. Shown here is one of the late arrivals—Ted & Venetia Moorhouse on Fairy Tale, just arriving from the Chesapeake. More photos of Saturday's events are here...

Our annual Lake Erie Rally was held June 13 – 15 in Leamington, Ontario. 

A pre-event trip to a local winery for tasting and dinner was attended by 40 of our members. Friday included Happy Hour and a great chicken and fish dinner in the pavilion. Saturday brought a pancake and sausage breakfast provided by the Leamington Yacht Club. 

While cruising near our home port of Britt, ON, on one of the Islands in Black Bay, our 11 month old West Highland Terrier had the misfortune of being bitten by a Massassauga rattler. Luckily we had consulted a vet on what to do in just such an occasion and were able to quickly get an adult dose of Benadryl into her.

The Georgian Bay wilderness anchorage known as "Squaw Island" (harbor report GB-55) has had a name change. It is now officially "Odjig Island." The change was announced last year but may have been overlooked by many who cruise the area.

The new GLCC web-page harbor report will reflect the name change.

Here's a xerox of  the Manitoulin Expositor report: (by the way, the first story on page 1 below mentions "Skippy Dippy Island" in the Bay of Islands. Anyone know which island that is?)

 A new web site has come on-line, covering shipwrecks and maritime tales along the Ohio shoreline of Lake Erie. View it here...
