The admiral and I started photographing and video recording our cruises on lake Michigan and beyond. Last summer we traveled over 1200 miles on a single trip from Grand Haven to Put-In-Bay on lake Erie. After a bit of goading from her I honored her request and began editing our videos together...
Sunday is the annual mega-raft off. We are planning to anchor/raft-off Saturday night on Smith’s cove. The weather is suppose to be around 80 and sunny. Put your drinks on ice and join us
Scratching my head….
about 3 weeks ago my salon Cruisaire stopped working on my 1993 48 cpmy. The two dometics for the cabins are still working. The salon AC kicks on but doesn’t cool. It runs for about 30 seconds and kicks off. It then kicks on again for 30 seconds and gives me the Hi PS error...
Anyone have any ideas on overnight anchorage on US side of lake St Clair? I’m taking a long trip up around the top of Michigan and was thinking of leaving the slip in LaSalle Mi earlier than planned and getting a half day early start on the trip. We can’t get to LaSalle until afternoon but...
Mast Heating & Cooling in Holland Michigan. They are a lying cheating sunsaguns. They replace parts that do not need replacing and charge over $300 for just the service call plus time. They sued me for almost $600 to repair my $1000 freezer. They completely lied in court. Do NOT use these guys!!!
Ran down to Saugatuck Mi from Grand Haven last weekend. Short little trip. We anchored in the harbor rather than getting a slip. Plenty of room and calm well protected water. We anchored in about 10’ of water. The harbor is a river fed harbor so plenty of weeds on a mucky bottom with minimal...
I just bought a nice new dinghy! I boat out of Grand Haven. The dinghy was purchased in illinois and shipped here to the marina. I realize I must pay sales tax. I can not seem to get an appointment at secretary of state until October. My question is, Can I legally use my new dinghy in Michigan...
Grand Haven city counsel has motioned to restrict access to the seawall for 90 days due to high water. The guy that made the motion isnt even a boater. He submitted "it sounds like it would be dangerous".
Pretty sure it should be up to the captain. It sure as hell wont damage their precious...
Sitting with friends at the marina. The topic of politics comes up. A doctor that runs a department at a local hospital begins to say horrible things about Trump.bi ask her what specifically she doesn’t likr. She says “I just don’t like him”....how can you argue with that. She continues berating...
I am interested in doing the loop. My question is about the Welland Canal from Erie to Ontario. The canal is squarely in Canadian territory. Will I need a passport to traverse the Welland? The boat I would be on isn’t able to clear the western Erie canal. I would have to go around to the oswego...
I am curious if anyone knows the condition of the Bahamas. I know Dorian hit Grand Bahama and Abacos but are some of the more southern or western Bahamian islands intact?
Two weeks from today we leave on our annual big cruise up north to the islands. Typically we have always used transient slips as we hop up the coast. This year we plan to be on the hook for 3 of the nights. Over the past year or so I have replaced light bulbs with LED, replaced the aging battery...
