* CRUISING

North Channel, Lake Huron, Ontario

 

It takes quite a while to sail from Chicago to the North Channel, but it is definitely worth the trip!  Many beautiful islands with granite rock formations, evergreen forests, and protected coves perfect for anchoring.  Three of us sailed up, and our fourth crew member joined us in Gore Bay (Manitoulin Island).
