SUTTONS BAY FLOATILLA – A GUINNESS WORLD BOOK RECORD CHALLENGE!

This Labor Day Weekend Suttons Bay, Michigan will be hosting an exciting new event. Saturday, September 1, in Suttons Bay, the Guinness World Book record for canoes and kayaks rafted together will be challenged. The world record of 1902 canoes and kayaks was set last fall in a little town in Upstate NY. The new goal is more than 2000 canoes and kayaks! This will be a spectacularly beautiful and unique event! An aerial view of the NY event was featured in the April, 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine.
