Learned a thing or two. I knew the sandbars move often in Lake Michigan, but I didn't quite understand why. I noticed that 3-4 days after a big summer storm, the water was often very still. If I can find pictures, I'll put them up. |

This was taken 2 days after the worst storm of the summer, it took all the energy with it.  Chill stretch of weather = extended sand bar.  Here is an example of a "river of sand". I can usually float down the shore if the pool between bars is deep enough. I just look like a weenie   So I think it works different on the lakes compared to the ocean. We get big ice shelf that builds up thru the winter and that pushes a large section of sand bar up to the front, you can see how many rocks are there after the ice melts compared to the summer.  As spring arrives, the winter sand/rock bar starts to go back out. I realize no one asked for this, but it made me think of the differences between the California beach they presented and the Lake Michigan beach I know.
