Taking a page out of the Ice Swimming Passport clean up book and showing y’all what the tide dragged in at Broughton Beach! Metro was also out picking up trash from the beach and we got to meet the awesome ranger Jim!

Sometimes, it’s still unbelievable when people send me footage of Quackpackers on the wild.

This is the epic swim our Beautiful Morningstar Quackpacker is being raffled for! Donate $5+ and send us a screenshot of your donation and you’ll be entered into the raffle!

Not sure if you've heard about this but there is a fundraiser for us happening this month that is of epic proportions. On August 24th Joe Riess is planning a 13 mile swim across Lake Charlevoix to raise funds for Have A Gay Day. The swim will take roughly 9 hours, there will be tracking so you can follow along on the website. The swim will start at Depot Beach in Charlevoix and end at Peninsula Beach in Boyne City. We plan to be there and cheer him on. To date he has raised $6,900 for us! If you want to chip in, learn more, or for all the details I'll drop the link in the comments. I would love to raise a bit more to support him and for Have A Gay Day! But seriously, how EPIC!
