Sturgeon Bay Channel

We tried going fishing but the waves were 3 and 4 feet high so we took a little cruise through the channel. The Sturgeon Bay channel links the waters of Green Bay with Lake Michigan. It actually makes northern Door County an island. We cruised by all the marinas with the yachts and sailboats. We went under several bridges that have to open to let sailboats go through such as the Tall Ships. We ended up at the lighthouse and coast guard station where the channel dumps into Lake Michigan. We couldn't really go out into Lake Michigan because the waves were too much for our boat. We saw a lot of boats in the channel fishing around the sailboats trying to catch perch. The perch run kind of small -- 7 to 10 inches --but there are lots of fishermen that just love to try to catch them here.

We went out to eat on Friday night with some people we made friends with last year that come to the campground and stay for about a month. Of course we went to a Friday night fish fry - just about every restaurant in the area has to offer a fish fry -- its just expected.

Our fellow workampers as well as ourselves are starting to get the itch to move on -- it's been a busy summer. We are getting jealous of all the folks out there traveling. We wouldn't really want to travel until after Labor Day but its nice to start planning our next adventure. Arizona is our winter destination -- not sure where yet but we'll know when we get there!
