From Michigan-Landlubbers might not understand, but the beginning of the boating season – traditionally Memorial Day weekend – is a downright “spiritual” awakening for many recreational boaters.
The Muskegon boating community will again honor the natural setting that is Muskegon Lake, pay tribute to those who have served the nation on the high seas, kick off the summer season … and do a little partying. The latter will continue all summer through Labor Day.
The annual Blessing of the Boats will be Sunday, May 26, as part of the Memorial Day celebration along the Muskegon Channel that links Muskegon Lake to Lake Michigan. There will be plenty to do on the water and along the south channel wall.
“It’s all about showcasing the great recreation, commercial and municipal port we have, while paying tribute to those that have served on boats as part of history,” said Roger Zuidema of Muskegon Lake Effect Boating – a one-man-inspired social media movement to promote, celebrate and enjoy boating in Muskegon.
