Evidently there is at least one big lake called "Lake Michigan". Some people
think it's so big they need to have chain AND big boats. I haven't Googled it
yet, but it sounds REALLY big!

There are, of course, 'littler' lakes - like Lake Winnebago. Those lakes don't
need big boats or chain, right?

I don't travel in lakes anymore, but your expertise would be invaluable to those
who do. Please let them know before it's too late!

in all my years in and around boats on Midwest lakes, I never saw, nor ever
heard of, using chain on an anchor. Not once. You tie the rope to the
mushroom and drop it overboard.
