About to get a boat in Grand Haven and cross over to Waukegan.
Any ideas on the best route?

I have crossed several times from White Lake usually to Port Washington but have also crossed to Manitowac. Wrong direction for you. but very doable in a day. Grand Haven to Waukegan would make a little longer day. If you are reluctant to take the whole bite at once, You can easily port hop to Holland, South Haven, Benton Harbor/ St Joe, New Buffalo, and Hammond, all accommodating harbors. Enjoy Michigan while here.

Distance: 80 nm
Hit buoy G3 (fl g 3.5 sec) off of Waukegan, steer course 274 mag for .6 nm to channel entrance.
Have you crossed the lake before? Do you have GPS? Do you have paper charts (you should!)? What kind of a boat? Are you familiar with the boat?
