About Miller Marina
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. 6 sailing schools or clubs and 3 boat hire places within 10 km. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May, August and September, with about 3 good days in 7; in November and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mount Clemens. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
