The working page for keeping the season pointed in the right direction: decisions, checklists, shore support, loose ends, and the little details that become big details when everyone is suddenly holding a duffel bag.

RuleIf it matters twice, write it here once. Joel will appreciate the shorter version.
UpdatedMay 27, 2026. Fresh enough to trust, still worth checking.
1. Confirm the event Use the command board first. It keeps hotel, marina, dinner, crew time, and document links in one place.
2. Update the blanks Rooms, arrival times, parking passes, contact names, and anything that would make shore support mutter into a steering wheel.
3. Save the lesson When something works, write it down. When something does not, write it down faster. That is the 2027 upgrade kit.

Land-based support

Shore team station

The driver and shore support team need their own clean view. They are the reason the boat gets gear, fuel, parking, and fewer dockside mysteries.

Truck rules

  • Never below 1/4 tank.
  • Clearance is 11 ft. Respect the overhead things.
  • Wait for the glow plug and let the engine warm up.
  • Keep key gear grouped for fast dock handoff.

Chicago to St. Ignace

  • Start at 215 South Wabash after Chicago support wraps.
  • Head to St. Ignace Marina, 13 S State St.
  • Check in with Tim and get the temporary parking pass.
  • Unload and reload in the order the next move needs.

Mackinac to Port Huron

  • Meet boat and gear at Mackinaw City Municipal Marina.
  • Refuel truck and boat support at St. Ignace.
  • Stage the van at St. Ignace Marina lot if needed.
  • Confirm next-day Port Huron plan before rolling.
