US-IRC Great Lakes Championship hosted by the Port Huron Yacht Club

The US-IRC Great Lakes Championship is to be hosted by the Port Huron Yacht Club.

If you are in the Great Lakes and are planning on competing in the Bayview Mackinac Race this year, get your boat and crew ready for the big race with a full month of competitive racing on Lake Huron when you enter the Lake Huron International Regatta (LHIR) and the IRC Great Lakes Championships (IRC GLC). If you are not planning to race in this year's Mackinac race, then use the LHIR or IRC GLC as an opportunity to challenge yourself, crew and yacht.

For yachts outside the Blue Water Area avoid the last minute hassle of getting your boat to Port Huron just days before the Mackinac race. Bring it to Port Huron in early July and take advantage of a full month on Lake Huron.

Lake Huron International Regatta - July 3rd, 2009 - Overnight race on three separate courses which are Port Huron 100 (87NM), John Blunt (57NM) and Kettle Point (43NM).

Water levels in Lakes Michigan-Huron are up after above-average precipitation in the Great Lakes basin this week.

The lakes, which are connected by the Straits of Mackinac, are 10 inches higher than at this time a year ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports in its latest weekly update.

Lakes Michigan-Huron are projected to rise 2 more inches over the next 30 days, along with Lake Superior.

This month, the Lake Michigan-Huron basin has seen above average precipitation, while the remaining lake basins have received lower than average rain, Corps officials said.
