Hey you Unrulys… I just wanted to get this photo up of an awesome scene – 2000 awesome paddlers out on Suttons Bay! Thank you to all the unruly folks we met – stay tuned as we will be posting all the Floatilla photos within the next 2 weeks. You can get notification by signing up on this page.
If you live in the Midwest, love the canoe or kayak, and need something to do this weekend, why not head up to Suttons Bay Michigan and be a part of a new world record?
The Suttons Bay Floatilla is an attempt at a record of over 2000 boats in the water at one time. The current world record is 1902 boats. National Geographic magazine will be there to take aerial shots of this exciting event.
Me and my family will be up there taking tons of photos and meeting lots of unruly folks. We’d love to see you if you decide to come. If you can find us, you get a free UnrulyGrownups.com sticker for you boat and a free family photo. Not a bad deal if you like stickers.
According to the official website you can:
“…Drop your boats off early and wander around the marina where a wonderful array of local food vendors will be offering a diverse selection of tasty things to eat and drink. Shop our local Farmers’ Market. Enjoy some beach time, shop. . . The day will be fun for the entire family.”
Check back to this site next week where I will post all the photos from the event for your enjoyment.
If you have ever thought about venturing over to Northern Michigan to see the sights, I can personally guarantee you won’t be disappointed. The area has been noted as one of the best destinations in the USA by the Today Show and others (and stuff on TV can’t ever be wrong ;-). Here’s some proof that its worth your time:

This summer, we spent a long weekend on an annual family camping trip just South of Macinac Bridge and decided to make a day of exploring Macinac Island by bicycle. Its definitely worth the Ferry trip over. The island is family friendly, and you will certainly get your fill of fudge if that’s your pleasure.
There are no cars or motorized vehicles allowed on the island, so I recommend you take your bikes. You can rent bikes there for a fee if needed. Kids will love the beaches, rocks, woods and variety of treats to be had in the downtown area.
Below are some photo highlights from our excursion.
