True..that is great sailing up htere...we had our boat at Whitehall for years and then Muskegon and Lake Michigan is home ground (water) for us...Now she's down here in NC and we don't ever have to worry about 6 month haulouts or pink KoolAId ever again My pretty-much ideal sailing grounds would be the Great Lakes in the summer. Unfortunately, the water does get too hard for sailing for way too long each year, and by December I'm thinking of moving south. But then I remember things like "Palmetto Bugs" and other giant cockroachy critters. Wouldn't mind moving back to southern California if it wasn't so bleeding insane out there. I can't wait until global warming allows me to keep my boat sailing on Green Bay and Lake Michigan year-round. |

But there's a lot of great places to sail on both coasts... without biting flies, rocks, ore boats, submerged fish traps, lampreys, etc etc. Unfortunately, the water does get too hard for sailing for way too long each year, and by December I'm thinking of moving south. But then I remember things like "Palmetto Bugs" and other giant cockroachy critters. Wouldn't mind moving back to southern California if it wasn't so bleeding insane out there. No wind in southern Cali. Might as wellkeep heading south, you're gonna have to learn Spanish anywhere south of Portland. I can't wait until global warming allows me to keep my boat sailing on Green Bay and Lake Michigan year-round. Freezing temps here in NC tonight... although we're due, it's been sunny and warm (hi temps ~ 70F) most of the week. In fact it's been GREAT sailing weather.... maybe a little windy ;) Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

But there's a lot of great places to sail on both coasts... without biting flies, rocks, ore boats, submerged fish traps, lampreys, etc etc. Oh, I know about sailing salt water and have nothing at all against it. I learned to sail in Charleston, SC, sailed in the Med, and bought our first boat in Long Beach where we lived-aboard and sailed for years. I miss the Pacific rollers, and the usually-nice weather. But Green Bay in the summer is just...nice. Everything is a daysail away, or less. For what I'm doing now it fits nicely. If I want to make longer passages, the rest of the Great Lakes are conveniently connected to my bay. Unfortunately, the water does get too hard for sailing for way too long each year, and by December I'm thinking of moving south.

No wind in southern Cali. Might as wellkeep heading south, you're gonna have to learn Spanish anywhere south of Portland. Ya, SoCal is known for its "light and variable" conditions, but that didn't stop me from sailing. Fact is the wind blows enough year-round that you can almost always sail if you want to, as long as you're not in a hurry. That's why God invented "light air" sails. If I was in a hurry, I'd have a powerboat. I can't wait until global warming allows me to keep my boat sailing on Green Bay and Lake Michigan year-round.
