Hello Rinker Owners,
We are planning a week long criuse from Algonac to the Lake Erie Islands this August. It will be our first trip down there and we are looking for advice on picking islands, restuarants and marinas. All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks [/H5]

I will post more as more activities are solidified.
Since I made this original post we have made our way down to Erie twice. We have had two stays at the Crews Nest Club in PIB and I highly recommend it. Non members can stay during the week and they have a great restaurant, bar and pool. Nothing like sitting on the front porch of the CN looking at the view with a margarita! We stayed Sunday - Thursday, the town is nice without all the weekend warriors. The bars had some great entertainment and interesting people watching. There is enough to do on the island, with shopping, the monument, cave, wineries, butterfly house .....
Kelly's Island was a day well spent with the golf cart ride around the island. We stopped to see the glacier grooves, a visit at the park, and great lunch over at the West Bay Inn (a real friendly place, good food and a great Tiki bar with a beautiful view of the lake).
Charts and GPS made the trip a no brainer and a great run for the Rinker from Algonac, MI. We are entertaining the idea of another trip down that way again this year. Maybe adding a stop at Leamington Canada, Cedar Point or Vermillion.
