Jay,
D'you know how far from a ramp, and the depth? Snoopy
really should be re-depth tested due to major welding on the hull, so I've not
taken her past 50 feet until I get a chance to depth test.
thanks,

looked at the charts for the waters around Holland and did not really find
much. Cross referencing NOAA’s snags and obstructions log showed that
there was wrecks north and south of the Holland breakwater bit these were in
relatively shallow water. R/Jay Jay K.

Alec Hi all,
I'm thinking of all
those zebra mussels hard at work making good visibility in the lakes up north,
and the fact the convention is in a pond that I understand to be featureless. A
big attraction of the pond is the availability of a crane and the controlled
conditions, so please don't think I'm criticizing it's selection for the event.
But can any of the locals suggest a nearby dive spot I may trailer Snoopy to as
a side trip? If there are any wrecks or other interesting sites near a boat
ramp, or even just clear water, I'd be really interested. It doesn't need to be
an ambitious expedition to the middle of Lake Michigan, since surface support
would probably consist of inflatable pool toys. OK, maybe a convention-goer's
kayak, but presumably nothing capable of towing. Snoopy is not too demanding in
terms of boat ramps, and so far I've always been able to launch from them. But
the key is to find a spot within a few hundred yards of a ramp, not within a few
miles of it. Any
suggestions? Thanks,
