[Rhodes22-list] Spring Fever

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Inspired by Enosis, I’m dreaming of a mini cruise.   We are
looking for options on Ohio Lake Erie, Lake Huron south of Thunder Bay or Kentucky
Lake.   I found Greatlakessailing.com and
understand Sandusky gets especially busy.  
Green algae doesn’t excite me.   
Clearly I’m not putting out on Erie in a small craft advisory.   Nor do I want to try Gunkholing as plan A
yet.    We’ll avoid July and August.   I am guessing Kentucky
Lake would be a safer practice run for a non holiday trip in May, perhaps trying to go north in September.     My only overnight experience was renting from Stan (who unfortunately didn't make reservations).    Of course delaying reservations until the last minute would allow weather to influence my destination.


Can anybody suggest options for three or four nights of
trailer parking and marina destinations?   I was thinking about a couple marinas  or ramp and marina within sailing distance of each other that have dining
and shower options, plus something to explore by land, so Tamiko can retain some trappings of civilization.   I want to ease her into trailer cruising
gradually.   We both enjoy traveling and
testing restaurants.   She comes from a Japanese tradition of small spaces on land.  I have all weather camping experience.  Dare we straddle
a weekend (launch Friday, take out Monday to avoid crowded ramps) or are we
much better taking time off in the workweek?  
Practical advice from those who have done it is greatly appreciated.
