Lake Michigan and Beyond: A Nautical Adventure / Program #6009

June 11-18, 2008
July 24-31, 2008

Lake Michigan beckons to be discovered. Our voyage introduces us to the abundant natural wonders of the Great Lakes that, for centuries, have drawn people for labor and leisure. We gain an appreciation for the complex system of lighthouses that make navigating Lake Michigan possible, the ever-changing coastal sand dunes, and the magnificent freighters that cross the lake as we travel on part of the largest freshwater system in the world. We traverse locks and explore islands and shore communities steeped in maritime history, all the while experiencing the magic and lore of the Great Lakes.
