There was one weekend when we drove up to Frankfort...that's the only
weekend we weren't on the boat this fall....

Nope..I don't....the past two summers we've done a lot of sailing with
our granddaughters, exploring, and in general, not having to deal with
dock life...the switch to a mooring was not just a financial
consideration....

I'm sure there are occasions when you miss it, but in generally I'm
sympathetic with your reasoning. We, too, considered a mooring, but all
the available moorings on WL are at the YC or Margaritaville, meaning lots
of boat wake and idiot powerboaters blasting through the mooring field at
all hours. Further it is a hassle to deal with Niki's needs from a
mooring. But I love being on a mooring, mostly because we aren't bothered
by others, we have some privacy, and the view is superior. When we travel
we almost never rent a slip, preferring to anchor instead. And after
doing so for years, we've arrived at the conclusion that the GLs are too
crowded. This past fall we sailed down to Muskegon Lake one weekend, just
to get away from the dock and the noise. We anchored about 100 yards from
your mooring, but never saw you guys. Must have been a weekend you
weren't up at the lake.
