What would you get on FM in the middle of Lake Michigan?

Suppose you were on the S.S. Badger sailing across Lake Michigan. What FM stations do you think would come in halfway across? I think most Green Bay, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Door Peninsula, and Ludington/Manistee stations would be in, along with the stronger Traverse City stations (WIAA, WOLW, WQEZ, WLDR, WTCM) and possibly some Muskegon and Upper Peninsula stations.
 
Bedlam. Several stations on every channel, especially if warm air is passing over the cool lake (as in most summer daytime days), adding Chicago and Upper Peninsula stations into the mix.

I actually did ride the Badger across Lake Michigan once (in 1999). Didn't think to try FM, but was very impressed with how well the shortwave reception was on deck, and the stargazing was fantastic.
