The 2008 Great Lakes Cruise gang would like to cruise the Apostle Islands in 2009. Are there any C-22 sailors out there who regularly cruise the Apostles who can help us with local knowledge of marinas, best times to cruise and best places to visit?
So far, we have interest from sailors in Detroit and Indianapolis (the usual Great Lakes Cruise Club). We would love to have some locals join us as well as those who just want to see the Apostle Islands.
Please respond online or to me directly at gendris at indy.rr.com |

While I haven't cruised the Apostles for a few years there are some really great anchorages and bays. Just need to remember there are no real full protection anchorages from the weather. There are great two and three sided anchorages. It is a National Park so park rules apply. There is a Coast Guard station in Bayfield. An example of things to do: On calm days the caves at Devils Island are great for exploring by dingy, along with visiting the lighthouse.
A great cruising guide that covers the Apostle Islands quite well is "Superior Way:The Cruising Guide to Lake Supperior" by Bonnie Dahl. The Apostle Islands was her home stomping grounds.
