Cruising

Starting in the summer of 2025 the club has started a new monthly cruising program we're calling "Cruising Club." The intent is to get more members with boats using their boats more often and in this case to travel to different ports thereby growing their boating skills and enjoying the company of fellow members who are "buddy boating" with them.

Plans for 2025 include the following:

• Vermilion - June 27-29, Water Works Docks
  Six slips have been reserved with the Vermilion Public Docks under "Lorain Harbor Boat Club.".
  These slips will be reserved through Friday 6/20/25 when those not claimed by members will be released to the general public.
  To join the Vermilion cruise please contact the Vermilion Dock Master at 440-204-2474 and claim an LHBC slip.
  This is a 9 mile trip
  Overnight charges are $2.50 per foot per night.
  
  
• Huron - July 25-27, Huron Boat Basin
  Six slips have been reserved with the Huron Boat Basin under "Lorain Harbor Boat Club.".
  These slips will be reserved through Thursday 7/24/25 when those not claimed by members will be released to the general public.
  To join the Huron cruise please contact the Huron Boat Basin at 419-433-4848 and claim an LHBC slip.
  This is a 17 mile trip
  Overnight charges are $1.75 per foot per night. (special note: Non-weekend stays are $35 per boat any size)
  
  
• Kelleys Island - August 22-24, Seaway Marina
  Six slips will be reserved with Seaway Marina under "Lorain Harbor Boat Club.".
  This trip is being made in conjunction with the annual Gibbs Race to Kelleys Island. You do not need to race to join the gang at Seaway.
  
  Because of a conflict with the recently announced Steak Roast on 8/23 the date of this cruise (and race) may move up one week to 8/15-17
  
  I will have more on slip reservations once I have setup this reservation with Seaway.
  This is a 25 mile trip
  Overnight charges are $2.00 per foot per night.
  
  

These arrangements are being made to allow everyone to travel and dock together at the destination. Additional plans while at that remote port are up to you. But with fellow members showing up it's sure to be fun.
