Never mind (where is delete when you need it)? Turns out there is a Thunder Bay in Michigan on Lake Huron as well....
It can be a tricky ride around the Thunder Bay Area . We were with six other boats on a two week trip into the UP, Georgian Bay, in 2007. We went up,the Canadian Coast and returned back to Sandusky on the Michigan side of Huron. We were in 8-10 foot waves and our 38’ Searay was being tested. Suddenly we started getting a bilge siren, went down into the salon, looked around and nothing. Five minutes later another warning, went back down, opened the bilge and it was full of water, we opened the Port head door and water was gushing in the port window. We radioed the other boats to stay with us, CLOSE.. Within about twenty minutes we were out of Thunder Bay in calmer water, limping into port for the night. The upper bow section of the boat had a slight separation from the body, we pumped out and patched up making it back to Lake Erie. So I KNOW there is a Thunder Bay on the west coast Michigan side of Huron.
