Jul 30, 2025 LAKE MICHIGAN
My foil jibes are still not fully flying but at least they are planing throughout over a few connected tacks! Woohoo!
Lake Michigan is not the tropics and there's no palm trees but it's still a beautiful place on a beautiful day: During late spring, summer and fall, it's an amazing playground for wind and wave sports. My home spot here is particularly attractive: Beautiful white sandy beach, clear turquoise "warmer" non-slaty waters, large grassy rigging areas and plenty of free parking so close to the beach that it should probably be illegal! What about wind? Thermal SSE summer wind from 10 to 25 knots with the occasional day at 30-35 knots here and there, and the famous NNE sideshore windy days with up to 12 feet swell (on crazy days!), punishing shore break and exhilarating rides down the waves! All this literally 5 minutes away from home! What else can I ask for?
