This webinar offers proven strategies and helpful hints for reaching ever distant shores and new adventures. It reflects the practical experiences of others, who have successfully explored the Great Lakes and beyond.

Distance cruising is a moving target. The more you do it successfully, the more you wish to move the goal posts — meaning going further and further away from your familiar waters.

And there is plenty of opportunity to do distance cruising on the Great Lakes. They are in effect a vast inland sea, where you can find everything from pristine wilderness anchorages to large metropolitan ports. However, to experience the best of the Lakes, you have to get out there. Most cruisers start by making small weekend trips, and gradually increase the range.

If you aspire to do distance cruising, the Countdown to Cruising webinar offers boaters proven strategies and helpful hints for reaching distant shores and new adventures. It reflects the practical experiences of others, who have successfully explored the Great Lakes and beyond.
