    Join us in beautiful Northern Michigan for our Fall Run and cook out! Rain or Shine we will enjoy one last weekend spent with fellow PowerBoaters! Mark and Ryan, "Slater Skater" have been generous enough to Provide Steaks for the Saturday party at the Harbor West Yacht Club. TC Offshore Fun Runs will provide the side dishes complimenting the grilled steaks. BYOB! Please bring your own beverages.

    ****Attention****
    Please only sign up if you are 100% sure you will attend. In the event you cancel please update us ASAP so we can have an accurate count on the donated food. Thank you!

    The fun begins Friday Night strolling the streets of Downtown TC.

    SATURDAY morning the group meets just outside and to the east of Traverse City's Elmwood township boat ramp at "Red Buoy 8" in Grand Traverse West Bay Lake Michigan. 11:30am

    70mph and slower boats will take off first around 11:30.
