Jere, Essie is in Marinette, on the Bay called "Green," which freezes
solid every winter. Where in the Great Lakes can you keep a boat in the
water during the winter as a liveaboard?

Thanks,
Karin


Lots of people do it in Toronto, on Lake Ontario.
Guy who sold his Sandpiper 565 and moved up to a Niagara 35 just for that
reason...plus a future dream of sailing south.

Belated thanks to all who responded; this was very helpful. It sounds
more plausible than I'd hoped, though not, perhaps, here in Chicago;
it doesn't look like there are any marinas providing year-round
dockage here, unless you can swing an outright purchase of a private
slip under a condo high-rise somewhere (and I get the feeling those
types wouldn't let a sailboat in just on general principles). Toronto
sounds promising.

Thanks,
