If the weather doesn’t cooperate and we end up with dreaded calm conditions we will be offering several day long trips (for those who are interested). These would involve loading and car pooling to some far off exotic destination in Georgian Bay. We will have more information on that as we get closer to the Gathering and have a better handle on the forecasted conditions.

Below is the 2011 schedule. The 2012 Gathering schedule will be posted shortly.
