Anyone Boating in N. Mich this weekend?
 
Just curious if anyone is gonna be out on the water up north. either lake michigan or lake charlevoix. weather ain't looking the best but what's the worst that could happen? get wet?

My wife and I either going to Lake Charleviox or to Indian River. If we hit Charlevoix it will be on Friday.

We were thinking of going out somewhere for a day. Ive checked the weather and Traverse in only going to be in the 60's and here Grand Haven will be in the low 70's. Looks like a good weekend to finish yard work.

Looks like it might be cool and rainy up by Cheboygan this weekend. I think we are sticking to riding ATV's at Black Mountain and trying to get out on the Harley some. I'll wait until it warms up for boating.

I will know by early tonight. Im almost positive we will be up for Charlevoix on Friday. Ill post as soon as I know tonight, no later than 9pm

We are heading up tommorow for sure. Where do you usually hang out? Oyster Bay???

Freeryd 05-24-2007 03:16 PM

i like the little cove just down from the ironton ferry (charlevoix side). it's gets REAL shallow though...so if u check it out watch ur depth. comes up super fast. otherwise young state park towards boyne city is a good spot. just depends on where the wind is coming from usually. if i get out tomorrow i'll make a run towards oyster and see if i spot ya. weather is supposed to break up just before noon tomorrow so we might get lucky!!! hope to see ya.

Yeah, I heard that! At almost $4 per gallon, I can tell you this....I better be having a nice time! That means it's going to be warm and sunny with decent water conditions! Does that mean I am a fair weather boater? Well, at almost $4 bucks per gallon, yeah---I guess it kinda does! :D

Freeryd 05-28-2007 11:57 AM

gorgeous up here today! light winds, 70's. i'm hittin the water! have a great memorial day guys!

BUCK WILD 05-28-2007 05:36 PM

I did make it out. It was cool but we still had a good time. Ive never seen such little boat traffic. We hit Indian River on Saturday.

Just got back in from a great afternoon/evening on the lake! BUCK- you're right....boating traffic was WAY down this weekend. Talked to a water cop friend of mine tonight and he said it's been the slowest weekend he can remember in 10 yrs at least! not a good sign.
