An Auxiliarist -- WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE!!!


A fellow looper, crew qualified in the Coast Guard Auxiliary AND living off of Lake Michigan!! Could anyone resist pulling out charts with that kind of gold aboard? Lee showed us his favorite anchorages, many of which were NOT on the charts. He shared areas of concern with low water levels and their AOR, on Lake Michigan. He and his wife gave us some great information on which marina's to stay away from, as well as which were better to frequent. We plan on storing the boat for three to four weeks in the West side of Lake Michigan (Wisconsin) while we visit our grandchildren in Minnesota and they were very helpful with contacts there. We were very grateful to dock next to this couple with the AGLCA flag on the bow!
