[Rhodes22-list] Michigan

I keep our boat on Torch Lake MI, but, have loaded up the trailer and 
sailed to Mac. Island & North Channel. The straits of Mackinaw can be 
difficult with ferry traffic, wind & current. Getting to the island if 
fun. Expect to be the smallest boat in the marina. We had to climb up 
three steps on the ladder from 0ur boat to the dock. Another boat came 
in later in the evening and had to lower a gang plank down to the dock. 
Our mast was just a little taller than the freeboard rail. The North 
Channel is GREAT. A lot of protection from bad weather, several ports 
of safe harbor and Mother Nature at her best. I have sailed out to 
Beaver Island but on an O'Day-28. Even with the bigger boat the ride 
was lumpy & long. The Island was nice with wonderful people.  Once 
again, there is a presence of ferries with big wakes and little regard 
for a sailboat.  Good Luck, Jim J
