Third Swan Charters, LLC

Well, the summer is officially over. Sure doesn't feel like it with the unusually hot temps we have had these few days! And the boating is certainly not over!

We had our first Fall charter today, and it was really cool! A true international day with students from the USA, Spain, Japan, Taiwan and Indonesia. All are exchange students (except for the local USA student) sponsored by the Montague/Whitehall Rotary and chaperoned by Susie Rehrer. What a great group of kids!

Hotter than blazes as we left the dock, but a breeze over the deck once underway helped a lot. Then as we came out onto Lake Michigan the temperature dropped to something very nice. We anchored Third Swan and the kids all jumped into the cool Lake Michigan water and had a great time, followed by pizza and soft drinks on the foredeck while they dried off.

Lots of boats were anchored along the shoreline taking advantage of nature's air conditioning. All too soon we had to head back in to the dock and the heat.

But as bad as th heat is right now here in Michigan, we've no hurricanes and no earthquakes to worry about. We are vey lucky to live here.

Fall sunsets are the best of all year, and we will be running the boat until late October. Still time for that Lake Michigan Sunset Cruise!
