It's a fun run if the weather cooperates. Just watch your forecast closely. Did that run a couple years ago and the ride back got a little dicey.. and that was in a 35' boat.... As others have said, steer well wide of the shore of the Mission Peninsula as you head north. There's some fun to be had down in east bay south of the channel into Elk Rapids near the beach, but that's kind of out of your way. Otherwise is Power Island or Oyster/Horton Bay in Lake Char... Again- beware a NW wind- once you clear the Leelanau Peninsula- your at the mercy of the big lake.

I have ran out to Beaver Island several times in my 242 Formula, it is a nice run if the weather cooperates.
There is a private marina in the north side of the harbor, Beaver Island Marina. They take reservations, have lower docks then the municipal and rent Geo Trackers to go explore the island.
