This weekend I was able to paddle the big lake Michigan up by Sheboygan Wisconsin. I've got family in the area, and they have a lakefront house and a couple of kayaks. Over the weekend, I went north a few miles and south a few miles.
The north trip was fun, Just up and back 2 miles. It was a mid afternoon trip on a hot day. The water could be a little choppy at points, but overall doable with breaks.
The south trip took me from the house to the edge of downtown. It was about 6 miles round trip. This was earlier in the morning. The water started calm then picked up later on. I can get seasick, but if I stayed out about 200 feet it wasn't awful. It would slam up against the rocks PLENTY though, so that made in and out a pain.
Nice short trip, but first time in the area and it was solid.
