Re: Coast Guard Anchored in Sand Bay August 5-6

I have had them anchor in Sand Bay in front of our place before. One year they met up with the Canadian Coast Guard and had a party on board with the Canadians.

Who cares about it? I thought that forum was for Beaver Island news and happenings not some gamers ta...

Re: Time to pull the plug?

I have been on the forum for over 11 years and I still check it almost daily. It is one of the few ways for people to stay in touch with what goes on when you are away from the island. Might you suggest a better source? Beaver Beacon?

Re: Duffy car rentals (since the first post got deleted)

Duffy has always been great about renting and lending a hand. Sometimes you can't please someone who brings their expectations from another place and expect them to be yours.

Re: So disappointed
