Ice Cliffs on Lake Michigan near South Haven January 2010, originally uploaded by Go Kayak Now.
The ice is beginning to get interesting along the shore of Lake Michigan. We have a thaw on that might allow kayakers to get out and see the ice. I am thinking of heading out during the day on Saturday. Some serious considerations for safety must be taken into account if you would like to [...] At the end of August I wrote my first post, about paddling to Ile Aux Galet (Skillagalee) island, which started out intimidating but turned into a ton of fun, surfing back to the mainland. Besides about 10,000 birds, the only thing on the island is a beautiful 1888 lighthouse, which is still active. http://www.michiganlights.com/skillagaleelh.htm

Ile Aux Galets (Island of Pebbles), aka Skillagalee, is a very small island about 7 miles offshore from Cross Village, near the NW tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula. The island sits atop a large shoal. On the east it is separated from the mainland by a deep channel about 5 miles wide [...] Michael Gray Sent this along. I plan on attending. Sleeping Bear Surfest 2009 Endless Summer Summer seems to have crept in and out without much fanfare or heat, but has still left us with a pleasantly warm and refilled Lake Michigan. Most of us in the paddling world don’t give up on summer easily and we’re going [...] Bow of the P&H Sirius coming over the wave, originally uploaded by Go Kayak Now.
I love downwind days on Lake Michigan 25 knots over 25 miles. That’s the sort of free ride everybody loves. Perched on the crest of a wave, originally uploaded by Go Kayak Now.
