Just a suggestion I am superior but its short trailer to lake Michigan, maybe door county WI or mackinaw island area. Lake superior has some beautiful spots too but it is a haul for most people.
great lake rendezvous

Greeting fellow Formula Owners.
A couple of us our planning on taking our Formula for a 10-day outing starting July 31 or August 7, 2010 from Mackinaw Staits to Sault Ste Marie.
Plans are to stay at Mackinac Island a few nights, night in the Hessel/Cedarville MI area, over to Cheyboygan MI, up the river to Mullet Lake, then on to Detour Village MI, up thru St John's River to Sault Ste Marie.
We will spend a couple nights there, with a day trip to the Great Lake Shipwreck Museum, via the Sue Locks. On the way back from the Sue we will stop at Lime Island.
We are always enjoy meeting new Formula owners.
Challenges for this trip?
- Need to overnight on your boat, or figure out where to if not on your boat.
- Overwidth loads are a real hassle on the Mackinaw Bridge. No crossing with overwidth boats from Friday- Sunday. Monday-Thursday have restricted times.
- Mackinac Island, you will need to make reservations early for this one. Sitting out and getting beat up by the ferry boat waves is no fun. May be challenging to get to shore. Reserving early works great!
Weather is usually not that big of a deal. Late July/Early August is the best time. With this trip you are not exposed to big wave during that much of the trip.
While we move around what seem like allot, we normally burn less than 2 tanks of fuel.

Right on...for sure we will try to do the islands of course...go there a ton. But I have a new baby this year, so I am sure my life will change a bit. But last year we went to Kelly's, Put N Bay a ton...snow and I never got to hook up, but for sure this year we will at least meet at the islands once or twice.
Will keep you informed.
