: We've always launched at Port Austin to do the Philadelphia. Its west around Pointe Aux Barques from Grindstone. It's not too long of a run and the facility at Port Austin is excellent for launching. Keep in mind that for a boat like yours you should go north out of Port Austin and then cut east to avoid the Pointe Aux Barques shallows area (get out past the lighthouse before making the turn).
: Have always heard Grindstone is shallow, but never tried it.

: : Would like to dive the Philadelphia off Pt Aux Barques Mi.I understand that Grindstone city is the closest launch ramp to the wreck. I have heard that the water is no longer deep enough in the outside channel for a 24ft I/O boat, does anyone have any info regarding getting out of Grindstone or a alternate ramp that is a close run to the wreck site? thanks Mike
Thanks much for your help Mike
