Not quite that simple. The levels of Lake Michigan/Lake Huron have really crashed this year. We are at the lowest recorded level since they have been taking data. Lots of theories as to why (dredging out the bedrock in the St Clair river, two warm dry years, etc.). We have been in South Haven for 20 years. There was 2 inches of water under my keel when we pulled out at Labor Day. We have lost 17 inches since then.
This isn't the first time that we have stayed out. Probably not the last. South Haven is a great town for sailboats, just maybe not this year.
