The annual Rendezvous is the highlight of the summer for many members of the Great Lakes Cruising Club. This year, the destination of choice was Escanaba, Mich., on the southern shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Cruisers found a great port, companionable hosts, and -- as usual -- fun, food and camaraderie.
