Tall Ship Tour Update

NWTour Participants,

Were you one of the many that woke up this morning and tried to purchase a ticket for the Tall Ship Tour for June 9th? If so, you probably found that June 9th isn't available. That was a surprise to all of us. We found out that someone booked the entire ship for that day and we were not aware of it. As a result, we are changing our plans to take the tall ship tour on Thursday, June 11th at 6:30 p.m. If this works for you and you want to join us, please call (231) 941-2000 or go to https://tallshipsailing.com/ to reserve your seat.

If you do register for the boat tour, please email me at [email protected] and let me know. We want to track the number of people that register from our group.

I look forward to seeing you in June in Traverse City.
