What is your favorite sailing/boating destination on any of the Great Lakes? Preferred marinas, cities, villages? Please share your experiences and offer some trip advice.

It's not really the Great Lakes, but I'll say the St Lawrence close to Lake Ontario, Clayton, Alexandria Bay, etc.

Without a doubt, Eastern Georgian Bay from the Trent up the North Channel.

I second Alexandria Bay, Clayton area. It's the closest thing to Paradise and awesome fishing.

I love Georgian Bay but the weather can be really unpredictable and if there is a front coming in the fish shut down eating! I have to vote for the 1000 Island area of the St Larwence also! New York State has some wonderful campgrounds in that area and have primative cabins for around $200.00/ week. There is a campground that is water accessible only called Canoe Point that has great slips for your boat and tent sites as well as cabins. In-door bathrooms with showers. If you have a boat you can sleep aboard it doesn't get much better than that! It is not far from Welsley Island.
