The Best Bite-Size Adventures - Lake Charlevoix - Stir Crazy Sailing and Adventures - Ep. 56

The best adventures usually include a sailboat but we all need a bit of variety. Sailing north in Lake Michigan offers an opportunity to duck into Lake Charlevoix. Sailing is simple and fun on the 17-mile long lake, if that's what you desire. Otherwise, mountain biking, working out, hiking and kayaking await the spent sailor in need of a break from open waters. If you fly fish, the Jordan River offers world class (a term that is over used, I know) river angling. Both Boyne City and East Jordan are great for dining, supplies, and outdoor activities. Charlevoix is a bustling port surrounded by beautiful homes and impressive boats; where you can spend $45 on two drinks and a sunset view, if that's your thing . . . That's a bill that shocked me . . .

In this video, we make our last stop on Grand Traverse Bay. After highlighting Suttons Bay and Traverse City - and wine country - we make a quick stop in Elk Rapids. We also make a small repair to the Dutchman/Lazy Jack sail dropping system while we sail north in light winds - before a big blow starts.

The convenience of Lake Charlevoix also attracts us until we can cross over to Beaver Island.
Miles of smiles on a Catalina 42 sailboat - and enjoying all the adventures that come with it. Thanks for joining me.
