This is Door County Wisconsin.
Lots of money and famous people. Great clean water. You have Green Bay on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. In Sturgeon Bay Wi you can take a short cut shipping channel and go from Lake Michigan to Green Bay in less than a half hour do you don't have to go all the way to the top of the thumb to go around to head down to Green Bay's port.
The picture looking at the red light house is from Lake Michigan looking into the channel. The other is looking from in the channel out to Michigan.

Thx BBP.
What a great trip for a Cobalt!

It does look like she could stir up in a hurry. We keep an eye out constantly with Great Lakes boating. Certainly gotta respect her power.

Oh yea it can get ugly in a hurry. They both have claimed their share of lives.

Yup, growing up i spent many weeks on the bay. There was always someone getting in trouble out on the water. I know of many boats that went down.

Yes...and Lake Erie is even worse. When it's beautiful--it's beautiful!!!

However when it's mean--look out.

It has the Trifecta of nature which can be a recipe for disaster.
1. Shallowest of the Great Lakes
2. It is actually a big river running SW to North east dumplings into Lake Ontario.
3. The weather sweeps from that same direction. --SW to NE.

Lake Erie has had more known shipwrecks per square foot than any other body of water (with the possible exception of the English Channel.)

Respect her and beauty and power and years of amazing boating will follow. 👍👍😎👍👍
