    From crossing Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets to a broken alternator and falling into the lake!

    Lake Michigan is NO JOKE. I live in a small town off the Lake Michigan and I'm friends with the Coast Guard Captain... I hear horror stories. Be safe.

    Enjoyed your trip. We did a similar trip on a Tartan 27 in 1972 with another couple, going from our anchorage in Little Sturgeon, just north of Green Bay and spending the first night on Beaver island and then on to Mackinac Island. Many problems over the week that we had solve for the one week vacation, and we still tell stories about that trip today with our friends. No GPS, only radio direction finder and dead reconning with our compass. Increasing wind and waves on the trip over and lots of fog on the return trip. Brings back many memories.

    I love Lake Michigan, so many places to explore. As a Lake Superior sailor…Lake Michigan has quite a bit more habitation and is significantly warmer than Superior. They are two closeby but quite different places

      We are so sad we are not going to have time to explore Lake Superior. We tried to fit it in June but the weather did not cooperate.

      @@SailingOnward Hopefully you can get up there another season! I would suggest however July and August. June can still be in the mid 40's temp wise well into June, especially east of the Keewenaw. However once you're there, you'll be glad you made the trip!: ua-cam.com/video/lVGlk0QwClA/v-deo.htmlsi=V_NJvshOCdAjxp9e

    Always chase ground when having charging issues....if altenator and regulator is ruled out it is almost always ground connections
