2022 North Channel Cruise – My Sailing Fix

2022 North Channel Cruise Summary

A summary and parting thoughts of our 2022 cruise to Lake Huron's North Channel.

Reading the sky as we cross Lake Michigan on our final leg home.

A few days motoring south, then a beat to arrive in Pentwater just after sunset.

A long day under spinnaker under the Mackinac Bridge and into Lake Michigan.

After finding big swells and light air on the open water, we divert into Government Bay.

A short sail across the Canada-US border on Potaganissing Bay.

We sail a bunch of miles west, and choose an anchorage based on several weather and logistical issues.

Not wanting to fight a headwind, we stop in a town we've never been to before.
