    I have lived in Muskegon all my 64 years. Can see Muskegon Lake from my house. Just a little bit of it but I can see the blue water. Been going in and out of that channel many many times. As a small kid going out fishing with my dad. In my 40's and 50's on my brothers go fast boat.

      Hi Lee! You live in a very nice part of the USA! How nice that you can see the lake from your house. It’s great that over the years you’ve been able to get out on the water with your dad and brothers. Happy boating and thanks for watching!😎

    I somehow stumbled on your video heading into Montreal. I have lived in Montreal for the past 7 years, but was born and raised in Muskegon. Kinda crazy.

    Great footage of a superb area of Michigan. Looks like the inland lake was the place to be during the windy days. Had never seen sail foiling before but seems like an enjoyable time when you know what your doing. Nice clean looking city open to visitors. Enjoy

    Beautiful beach. The breakwater from the lake to the channel was like from the ocean to the bay! Amazing. As always, if I where a young man I would love to try kite surfing! Stay safe!

    Enjoyed the video! As a child we would boat at the other end of the Muskegon River (at Houghton Lake). I assume you would dinghy ashore? Did you have any trouble finding places to tie up the dinghy ashore? Did you ever find Muskegon Lake too rough for the dinghy?

    • @staycool123
      @staycool123  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Patrick and thanks for your questions. Yes when at anchor, we dinghy ashore. It’s not always easy finding a safe place to leave your dinghy but we did find a few on Muskegon Lake. On windier days, it was pretty choppy in the dinghy, but that didn’t stop us exploring!😎

    Hi Guys, great video!
    It seems that you are anchoring vs docking at a marina. Just learning about boating so apologies if this is a silly question, but wouldn't you have to dock and get shore power more frequently?

    • @staycool123
      @staycool123  2 роки тому

      Hi Greg, great question about powering a boat! 😎 We are able to anchor a long time because we have solar power. Check out our video on solar:

    Traveling by boat might look cool. However, Muskegon is a dump. As a 30+ year resident, they invest in the wrong things. If they have a good thing going (some kind of festival or event) they'll screw it up and destroy it. These are some of the reasons I'm moving. The best parts of Michigan are up north. Anything north of Ludington is nice-ish. I used to love this state.

    • @staycool123
      @staycool123  Рік тому +1

      Hi Erik, sorry to hear you are unhappy in Muskegon. You would know best since you’ve lived there 30+ years. We enjoyed Muskegon Lake and when we did go ashore, we noticed there were good parts and more run down parts. Cities do go through times of change. We hope you find a new place to call home. Thanks for watching this episode.😎

      Nothing but dollar stores and weed shops. No good restaurants. Nothing to do here. Roads are 1 step above the Old West. How is it NOT a dump? I would kill to leave this place.
