Important: One thing we would like you to understand is our decision to go or not to go on any trip to the lighthouses. We have made a commitment to make exceptional efforts to get you to our lighthouses. Our event does not take place in a controlled indoor environment. The limitation we work under is weather, wind and wave conditions. Lighthouses are placed in exposed areas on open waters. This is Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world, and occasionally, weather prohibits a safe landing. Captains will do their job, and decide on what constitutes a safe landing.

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 may require screening/examination of persons, baggage and carry-on items for the protection of the vessel, its passengers and crew.
