Third Swan Charters, LLC

Third Swan Charters had their 3rd charter for the season, an afternoon charter this time. Six guests, all one family, a couple of them grew up here and are seeing the lake for the first time in a lot of years. Lots of changes have occured. Others live in the area and are simply glad to be out on a boat

White Lake had more boat traffic than I have seen in a long time, Capt. Ron had to keep on his toes! Lake Michigan was a little choppy, not bad, but coming back into the channel was rough and full of other boats, most of whom knew what they were doing. All in all, a fun way to spend a summer afternoon.

Third Swan had her second sunset charter of the season on July 2nd with Russ & Deb and Shann & Jennifer aboard. Wonderful conversations as we cruised along the White Lake shore on the way to Lake Michigan. Then slightly choppy water on the big lake.
We headed off shore chasing the sun as it set with a line of cloud crossing it's downward path. An unusual setting as the sun showed both above and below the thin cloud line, and then just hung on the horizon like a bright neon bar lying on the water. Very cool!

Our first charter of the 2017 season took place last evening (06-24-2017) and it was a good one. Mary and Larry joined us as we went out on a somewhat choppy Lake Michigan outside White Lake. The first thing we saw as we headed out the channel was a passing freighter. Unusual to see them this close to shore as they pass White Lake. Then as the sun set the freighter was right in line with and passed through the setting sun. Way cool! Lots of clouds to show off the color in the sky. As usual, everyone enjoyed the evening.
