Sound Signals - Lakeland Boating

1 week ago | lakelandboating.com | Kate Bush

Sound signals provide an audible means of conveying your intentions while operating in restricted visibility. Let’s take a look at what you need to know. What exactly is “restricted visibility”? Restricted visibility describes a situation where an operator can’t see hazards in their path or prevents their boat from being seen by others.
Stay Connected - Lakeland Boating

1 week ago | lakelandboating.com | Kate Bush

Many boaters like the time spent on the water to escape and briefly disconnect from the world. But today’s technology has made it possible to get on the water and still be productive and connected when necessary, allowing some of us even more time afloat. Starlink and its satellite system are just such technologies, allowing boaters internet access and connectivity from anywhere in the world, even while underway, for a fraction of the cost of other satellite providers.

We’ve covered several topics in my columns about America’s Great Loop, but one subject we haven’t tackled (and one that The Boss, aka my wife, might argue is the most important) is The Dog.

Frankfort, Michigan, is a small recreational port town on Lake Michigan that features a lot of transient slips within walking distance of a plethora of restaurants and delis, a supermarket, a hospital, a beautiful beach and lots of shops. What else do you need to know? The fishing is great here throughout the year, too. It’s hard to believe the 2020 census pegged its population at just 1,252.
Two More States Down!

1 week ago | lakelandboating.com | Kate Bush

One, two, three, four, five, six, SEVEN and EIGHT! In the last week, we crossed off two additional states along the Great Loop route. Before we get into that, let’s catch you up to speed on how we got there. We had a fun day ahead of us once I returned to the boat in Annapolis after a couple of days away. When we pulled into Annapolis the week prior, we were unaware of the Naval Academy graduation happening the following week, which meant the Blue Angels would be in town.
