Jensen and Jon are great. They've done my last two boats and and trucks as well as my wife's ride. Great service and sounds! If Konrad doesn't screw me on the drives, the OL will be heading there in the spring.

Yeah, I remember looking over the side and seeing a really BIG ONE in particular just outside the Elk entrance in the shallower water as I was waiting for some other boaters a few years back....and yes the water is very clear and beautiful. I know objects appear closer than what they actually are as they are magnafied by the water, but that boulder appeared as if it was only about 10' under my boat. I almost wanted to dive in and swim down to it.

You don't want to get to close to shore around Old Mission either but i think a line between Elk Rapids and Northport keeps you far enough away.
There is also a big green bouy approximately a mile or so out from the town of Eastport iirc between Elk Rapids and Charlevoix. It marks a pile of rock that is NOT a concern unless you draw more than 10ft. But I wouldn't want anyone not paying attention to hit the bouy. It's kinda is out in the middle of no where and you don't expect to see anything out there.

Elk Rapids, Northport, Charlevoix(lunch), back out to Bay Harbor and to Harbor Springs. ,then back to Horton Bay for final card and off to Sommerset Point for some cool-aid! Major change from last year-Pete will have a boat.LOL!
Added the Harbor Springs stop to help with one way boat traffic to Bay Harbor. If the faster boats went and pulled a card, they would be comeing right back at the other boats. Good point to be safe.

Darn, I was hoping for Northport, Elk Rapids, Charlevoix, Bay Harbor, Harbor Springs, Horton Bay. For some reason I like that better! Not sure how to explain why but it seems to flow smoother in my head.
