And YES Boatwinkle will be there with me!!! The new 2025 Know Your Ships book will be out and copies will be available for you all to purchase and Roger will autograph them for you! I will have some of my products with me as well including some Ship Master's Fundraising items you can purchase with all the profits going to the International Ship Masters Association Scholarship Fund!

So if you live in the area of Algonac Michigan and you're looking for something to do on a Spring Saturday, come on over and visit us!! And with some luck the Ship to Shore Chef - Catherine Schmuck will be able to attend as well! (If she's not on a ship already) That would make it even better!
