| Cruising the Great Lakes this Summer? | | The Great Lakes of the United States and Canada are not only the largest body of lakes in the world but also afford the cruiser some of the most spectacular and beautiful vistas in North America. If your cruising Lake Erie , take the opportunity to stroll the downtown in Sandusky, Ohio to view the interesting 19th century limestone buildings. If you're transiting between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island is a must-see. For the romantic cruiser spend a night or two at the Grand Hotel. There are no automobiles allowed on the island and you can use a horse and carriage to get around taking you back to a bygone era. If you happen to be in Lake Superior, make your way over to the Apostle Islands. If visiting big cities is your thing, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit and of course Chicago have anchorages, marinas and unlimited sightseeing opportunities. Wherever your cruising this summer in the Great Lakes Bluewater Books and Charts knowledgeable staff will help you with all your navigation needs for your passage plans.
