Lake Michigan in September

[Derek Jackson]

If a craft landed out of sight of any of the coasts on Lake Michigan in September how likely is it to encounter either a commercial craft or any kind of leisure users of the great Lake?

If you can access JSTOR this article might be useful to your enquiry

The above page has links to articles on regular ferry crossings across Lake Michigan, so you should be able to deduce routes and whether they would come into sight. Guess it depends on frequency of the ferries, and how you define where "out of sight" is - ie if it is NOT on a ferry route, even

eg

for a timetable May-November

Not massively relevant, but gives some idea of the non-commercial boats that MIGHT be out there somewhere
