X Marks the Spot: A Deeper Dive - Gerry Spiess and the Yankee Girl, Part 2

In this series, we will take a deeper look at the ten topics highlighted in our new exhibit: X Marks the Spot! which showcases ten of the places around the lake where history has happened. Through our collection of photos, records, and artifacts, we will peel away the layers of local lore and dive into what we know about each topic.
This lecture series will take place at the White Bear Lake Armory. No registration is required!
July 22 β Gerry Spiess and Yankee Girl
Gerry Spiess defied the odds and traveled across the Atlantic in a 10-foot, self-built, plywood sailboat in 1979 - then he did it again in 1981 across the Pacific!
