The longest and oldest continuous freshwater boat race (first held in 1898) is underway. The fleet is heading north at fairly high speed.
Take a look:

The movie version of the fleet moving North, thanks to GPS transponders. Pretty amazing view of the race. They'll be headed back South starting as soon as tomorrow. Get ready, Harbor Springs, Beaver Island, Charlevoix, Leland, and Frankfort. Thirsty Sailors ahoy!
