The Rotary’s “Sturgeon Bay Working Waterfront, Past and Present” had to call an audible with the threatening weather impacting the area this weekend.  This year, the Rotary Club of Sturgeon Bay changed to a chartered boat cruise around Sturgeon Bay instead of the traditional shipyard tour from land.  Unfortunately, with the predicted heavy rains, the organization canceled the Friday afternoon and Saturday cruises, but the Sunday cruises remained intact. Rotarian Kevin Mutchler says the Friday morning cruises went very well, and an additional Sunday morning cruise for 8:15 a.m. was offered to those who signed up for the canceled cruises.  He explains that Shoreline Boat Tours is also providing ticket holders of the canceled cruises a gift certificate for a similar cruise later this summer.

Mutchler added that some ticket holders are taking advantage of the 8:15 a.m. Sunday cruise, however, anyone is free to show up at 7:45 a.m. to jump onboard for $75. The efforts will benefit the Rotary Club of Sturgeon Bay's work, including high school scholarships for local students.
