Lake Michigan Sailing – Manistee to Door County, Wisconsin

“Summer sailing trip from Saint Joseph, MI , to Door County, WI, aboard Ariel, a Cape Dory 36. This is video 2. Video includes departure from Manistee and northbound trip to Frankfort. Thunderstorm in Frankfort the day before departing early in the morning for Sturgeon Bay Canal. Stopover in Egg Harbor then Fish Creek before heading north through Porte des Mortes passage and a long diagonal across the lake to Pentwater.”

As if I don’t already have enough to do – and that’s just the idea here! Write about sailing in Door County so I have to spend more time out there on the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan… reporting. I have been an avid Door County sailor for more than 40 years so it’s payback time:

• time to thank Poseidon (Neptune) for being so kind as to watch out for me, despite the situations I get myself into;
• time to work a bit harder to protect this valuable fresh water resource that is threatened in so many ways;
• time to share my enthusiasm for the sport of sailing with others who may be just starting out;
• time to set up a place for other sailors to share their stories
• and I am sure I will add so much more to this list…

So, welcome aboard.
