Hello,
I am just getting familiar with my P16 and want to take it out somewhere around Michigan for the 4th of July weekend. Trouble is, I don't have any friends that are into sailing to join me. I thought I would check to see if anyone on here was interested in meeting up

Next weekend I am going to go down to Lake St. Clair and try to find a good spot for the long weekend of the 4th. I have heard of a few places to check out but I haven't decided yet
Thanks,
Nathan

Pretty far north but Grand Traverse Bay is the place to be the 4th.

Thanks for the advice, you might be right. Looking at the map it doesn't look like Lake St Clair has much for beaches. That area looks much more suited for sailing cats

FYI, Gun lake MI is a great spot to sail your p16. It has alot of beach front for beach cats.

I live on west bay Traverse City. There are about 5 catamarans moored there now. I have a extra mooring. There are two beach bars to sail to. The Holiday Inn is a particular favorite with their beach landing and a large tiki bar, no shoes or shirts required.We will be out there quite a lot during the 4th. The national cherry festive runs July 4-11 http://www.cherryfestival.org/#3a

You won't be bored.
