As for mountains, there really aren't any true mountains in Michigan, it's pretty flat especially in the southern part (but lots of lakes). The closest think to mountains are the Porcupines where I hiked last year, but that is next to Northern Wisconsin, a long ways from here.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-90487859582969320672013-09-26T02:36:07.114-04:002013-09-26T02:36:07.114-04:00Oh that's a nice little lake.

Of course, we are going to have a bit of summertime for a few days, and still into the weekend.

I read Lake Michigan can be squally but generally sound as to wind, but Lake Huron is nasty with vast and rapid wind shifts. <br /><br />The Atlantic is odd for sailors. The coasts facing the ocean must lift pleasure boats for they just won't get insurance. So Scotland's west coast together with Ireland and the Bristol channel thence to St Milo south in France. It's not that there's no sailing in winter but they must raise and return the craft each time. This has somewhat odd effects on sailing competences where the Atlantic boats are good in weather but the English channel are better inshore. Note http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Fastnet_race the number of craft that didn't finish.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-27716102897417705202013-09-25T13:49:34.697-04:002013-09-25T13:49:34.697-04:00I can't swim but can I schedule a ride on it f...I can't swim but can I schedule a ride on it for me or at least Big A next year?
