Except for a few isolated spots close in and in various straits, Lake
Michigan is DEEP....we are not talking Erie here....you can usually anchor
within 300 feet of the beach in 20 ft of water....the other thing is that
you can tell where the sand shoals are by the breakers over the top of
them....even on calm days, you can tell where the shallows start because of
the water color difference (cold and warm thermal layers causing color
changes)...

Huh? ... are the bottom contours so level as to negate chart requirements
there?

God Grief... what would happen to me If I had sailed up on you out there
...Flying a Jolly Roger and commenced firing water balloons???
