Brent & Mikie spend the their winters in Savannah, Georgia and their summers aboard KILLARNEY at Mackinac Island. The island (pronounced as though spelled Mackinaw) is in the Straits of Mackinaw between north Lake Huron and north Lake Michigan.

The island has been famous with sailors for 100 years for fudge and horse_ _ _ _ , ah, manure. ;) No motorized vehicles are allowed on this idyllic island that's a hop and skip from the magnificent and world renowned North Channel.

Brent has sailed the Mac Man Challenge for years and invites all Nonsuch crews to join him and at the same time learn why this area is considered one of the handful of the very finest cruising grounds in the world.

The 'MacMan' is a competitive cruising event that also offers a race division for serious competitors.

The event starts on the beautiful shores of Mackinac Island, the U.S. gateway to the North Channel. The first stop is the beautiful port of Gore Bay Canada where you can explore the natural beauty of the area and end your first port day with a fresh fish dinner and a few libations to celebrate your progress.

The next day will find you heading to the finish line in Little Current. You will sail among the beautiful islands of the North Channel competing with your fellow sailors and new friends for the ultimate overall trophy. Little Current offers more fun and games as well as a great awards dinner celebration.

You are now ready for the real rewards of your adventure, the North Channel and Georgian Bay has been rated as one of the top three cruising destinations in the world and you are right in the middle of it. Now whether you want to explore Manitoulin Island or the many anchorages just a few miles away you will be sure to enjoy some prime cruising time.
