You may be able to get free AC power on the bulkhead wall in Grand Haven instead of paying at the marina. If the wind is WEST, the marina is horrible because your boat slip is perpendicular to the waves hitting you on the beam. Its bouncy on the wall in WEST wind also because there is an angle to the waves. That's how it was when we were there. Some places on the wall do not have power working. But the wall is even closer to the mains street.

The weather for this area looks great for the next 4-5 days so there shouldn't be any problem (knock on wood). We're going to need to stay in Grand Haven for about a week so Judy can fly to Kansas from Grand Rapids for her mother's 92nd birthday. The cats and I will be staying with Sanderling at a marina. Looking for suggestions for marinas for a week's stay. Active Captain lists several including the municipal marina which is the most appealing due to it's location near restaurants and shopping, but the reviewers all note that it is sometimes uncomfortable when the wind is out of the west. The marina near the lake on the north side of the river looks good but it is very remote and isolated without a vehicle to get around with (I don't plan on having a rental car during our stay except to transport Judy to and from the airport). Any thoughts on marinas there and particularly about the municipal marina?
