21' runabout on Lake Michigan???
If I see 6' on my sounder I'd be reaching for the trim switch and cranking
the wheel to get out of there!!! Door County bottom is ROCK. Watch the chart
and you should be OK. It's not as bad as people think. Nowhere near as
hairy as the North Channel or Isle Royale. Door County is a beautiful
boating area. You'll love it.

That's the sort of statement that makes me nervous, "beware the
shallows"... I have a depth sounder, but I've still had prop strikes
when sounder indicates 6 feet deep.
Should be fine......just keep a weather eye and beware the shallows.
Make
sure you have a chart of the area. Cell phone should not be a problem.

Staying at a resort on Rowley's Bay on the Lake Michigan side of Door
County. Is it reasonable or foolhardy to buzz around on Lake Michigan
with a 21' runabout, exploring the islands? Or on the Green Bay side?
I wouldn't go unless I had a radio - not sure about cellular coverage
out there, or at least a float plan with the wife if staying near
shore.
