Joe, Definitely Lake Winnebago, the city of Oshkosh is on the west shore of it. It's a good sized inland lake, about 30 miles long and 10 miles wide, but shallow with sand bars and other navigation hazards. Challenging for sailboats, lots of shoal drafts and swing keels there. The Whaler would not be much fun on Lake Michigan most days, it's rarely that calm. We occasionally get pontoon boats that decide to rent slips in our marina. They never leave the breakwater and usually don't renew. If you get to Milwaukee, you are always welcome on Firewater too!

I have been to Chicago many times and seen that end of Lake Michigan. Flying to Oshkosh for the airshow the straight line is across Lake Michigan, but that water is COLD even in the summer so we swung south of Chicago and then back north. There was a lake off to our right while heading up north to Oshkosh. Lake Winnebago maybe???? We may show up and bug you all for a sail, it sounds fun :) The Whaler is miserable in any chop and wet too, so I think a canal is about all I would want to try with it.
