Gales storm gathering- gathering momentum.
There are not many occasions where we cross our fingers for inclement weather but the Gales Storm Gathering is one of them. In the past we’ve hosted our Surf Superior Confluence here at the mouth of the mighty Michipicoten however we’ve decided to put that weekend on hold and partner up with the folks from Go Kayak Now and their gathering in Marquette this year. The plan is to turn it into a roaming gathering and we will be the host for 2012.
