TOLEDO — The Toledo Sail and Power Squadron, which has several Monroe County members, held its 13th annual Winter Rendezvous in South Haven recently.

The group of 22 stayed at the Carriage House at the Harbor, a Victorian bed and breakfast. The weekend included breakfasts, cocktail parties, dinners and trips to West Michigan resort towns such as Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, Holland and Saugatuck.

Members of the Toledo Sail and Power Squadron are shown at the recent Winter Rendezvous. A tradition at the Carriage House is to take group photos of guests wearing the robes provided by the bed and breakfast.
