Summer's not that far off so I'm sketching our next trip to Lake Michigan. We'll be there the first three weeks in June and plan to explore Green Bay. Will probably spend 2 nights most stops and will be a mix of
anchoring &
marinas. Planning to transition the ship
canal to Sturgeon Bay, then down to Little Sturgeon Bay and, so we're not just going up or down one shore or another, crisscross up the bay to Oconto (maybe -depth may be an issue for our 5'
draft so we'll assess at the time) and/or Marinette/Menominee,
Fish Creek &/or Eagle Harbor (they appear to be within walking distance of one another), Sister Bay, Cedar River,
Washington Island, Escanaba &/or Gladstone and Snail Shell Harbor. Of course,
wind,
weather and distractions may alter our itinerary. We're both fit and routinely walk six miles or more and I'll walk even further for something really good; especially food! If we're not anchored out somewhere, we don't need a lot of attractions as long as there is a restaurant and bar.
We're skipping the city of Green Bay on this trip as I've been there may times. Am I forgetting something or should I forget something? Also, I've gotten the impression that, though tourist season will be taking off by then, the
boating season doesn't pick up until July. Any truth in that?
