I just did, worked fine.

"Text the Station ID (45029) to (734)-418-7299 to receive the latest observation on the go."

not sure what I am doing wrong...just tried it and a message comes back that says check station id at http://bit.ly/ndbcstations and try again. station may be out of service or retrieved for the season

Worked for me too.

Text the buoy number to: 734-418-7299

Port Sheldon is 45029

Here are the numbers to text for the other Lake Michigan buoys:

Ludington: 45024

St. Joseph (Bridgeman/Cook Nuc Plant): 45026

South L. Mich: 45007

North L. Mich: 45002
