5 out of 5 Great Lakes under the belt

Hot Stepper · 09-02-2008, 10:45 AM

If anyone has followed the Benton Harbor to Chicago thread you'll already know that I have just completed the trip which makes it offical that I have now had my boat in all 5 of the great lakes. And for those that think Lake St. Clair should count as well then I can say 6 out of 6. As for rivers traveled that would include the St. Lawerance, St. Clair & Detroit, not to mention all of the smaller ones getting in out off various launches/ports etc.

Anyone else out there got all 5 under their belt?

Congratulations ! That is something to be proud of, for sure. I have done them all except for Superior and to be honest I have no plans to go up there ....... ever! LOL Way too cold but I have driven the northern shoreline to Thunder Bay. Very beautiful.
Again, congrats.

Thanks. Superior if timed right isn't that cold as long as you stay in the boat. I did the Munising - Pictured Rocks area this past July mid 70s water temp yeah cold as always. Not as many boats up there as I would have expected. If I were to hit Superior again I might have to consider the far west end as there are a fair number of islands providing a little protection.
