[C320-list] Nearshore Marine Forecast Lake Michigan

[Bill Hutt]

Here in Cleveland we are ice free but the water is running about 40 degrees. 
Makes for some very cold conditions when the wind is blowing off the lake. 
We even had some lake effect snow last week.
That being said we have about 20 boats already in the marina. I haven't even 
taken the cover off my boat yet but the next warm day I'm going to start the 
process.

Fortunately I did launch last week.  Unfortunately I was trapped by all the 
ice.  It was even risky in Lake Macatawa.

VERY few boats are in the water in Holland right now.  A very late launch 
season for many this year.
