We have a 20' Crownline 205CCR that we want to trailer up to Door
County WI for the weekend (have family in Green Bay).

We boat often on a large inland lake in Madison WI, but have never
taken the boat to a large body of water like Green Bay.

We're thinking about doing a day trip from Bayshore park up to the Fish
Creek area and then back. Anybody done that kind of a trip with that
size boat ? We have a fixed mount VHF radio on it and a GPS. Just
wondering if there are any things we may not be aware of or may not
have considered.

Thanks for any advice.

Jeff.

You will be fine if you stay close to shore... lots of people even bring
pontoon boats up there... really no problem...

What about water depth along that area ? We obviously have a depth
finder on the boat, but I was wondering about shallow areas, rocks,
etc.

Thanks again for any advice.

It can get over 120 feet fast... i didnt see any shallow areas... local
shops have maps, get one and u should be fine... call ahead to some marinas,
it can get pricey to stay docked over night...

OK Thanks.

We won't be staying over. Just a run up, stop for lunch and stuff,
and then run back down the same day.

Hopefully can find a slip for a few hours somewhere there.
