A reminder that there is road construction at the entrance to Great Lakes Marina, so you are encouraged to not bring your trailer by land. Trailers can be left at the Mart Dock as needed.

In the event that there are dangerous conditions on Lake Michigan on Saturday, poker checkpoints will be switched and 2 added on Muskegon Lake to complete the 5 checkpoint poker run.

Poker Run Rain-Out Plan:
We will still meet at the LST-393 for the captains meeting at 10 am.
