MUSKEGON, MI — Dozens of boats were out on Muskegon Lake for the Summer Sailstice event on June 21, Saturday to commemorate the first day of summer.

Roger Zuidema, a promoter and participant of the Summer Sailstice, said it is a national event that Torresen Marine helped kickoff in Muskegon 13 years ago. Since then Lake Effect Boating, Great Lakes Marina and the Muskegon Yacht Club joined in.

“It’s a really fun event just to help and show people the sailing lifestyle,” Zuidema said. “It’s relaxing, being out on the water with family and friends.”

Taking place on the longest day of the year, the Great Lakes Marina, Torresen Marine and Muskegon Yacht Club had all hands on deck, offering free sailboat rides to willing participants.  Read On.
