Boating on Lake Michigan

One of the best past times in the summer is boating on Lake Michigan. I love to walk the Grand Haven Board Walk and watch all the boats going in & out of the channel. You can boat from Spring Lake into Lake Michigan for a day of leisurely sun and swimming. From there you can go down to Holland or Saugatuck and grab a nice lunch and then catch the gorgeous sun set on your way back to your boat slip in Grand Haven.

For some, their weekend cottage is actually a boat ~ whether it be a stunning yacht or that beautiful sailboat, most boaters work all week dreaming of the upcoming weekend of being on the water...sun on their back, warm breezes and mist spraying their hair ~ quenching their soul for the love of being "one" with the water.

I am most drawn to the large Clipper Sail Boats gracefully sailing along the horizon, filling me with a sense of romance with the water.

And the names....reading the names of boats is such fun. I do not own a boat, but have often thought about what I would name one if I did...maybe it would be called "Out On Showings".

Regardless of the kind or size of your boat, there seems to be a huge camaraderie amongst boaters. They laugh together, dine together, and have a deep shared love for playing on the water.
