Come play on the Big Pond with the CPC!
Get REVVVVVVED UP!
The Rev Limiter – CPC/ Image Chicago Magazine Photo Run Edition
Time to stop running the mouths and start running the motors! Saturday June 9th is the day for the first on-water event for the 2007 Chicago Powerboat Club, and you WON’T want to miss it! HERE’S THE DETAILS!
The Date: Saturday, June 9th, 2007
The Place: Jackson Park Inner Harbor, Southern Shore Yacht Club
The Time: BE THERE at 10 am!
The Cost: $50 per boat
The Skinny: We will be rafting up in Jackson Park’s Inner Harbor (just go under the bridge at the far left of the outer harbor) at the Southern Shore Yacht Club. Get there before 10, or as close to it as you can, because we’ve got to stay on schedule for the helicopter. At 10:30 we will have a short meeting, outlining the exact route of the day and the safety precautions necessary for running in a large group. We have to be ON THE WATER by 11:15, and on the lake and formed up by 11:45 to rendezvous with the helicopter. We will then proceed as a group and be filmed and photographed, hopefully with the result of getting some great footage of your boat! The group will end up at the vaunted “Chicago Playpen,” “Crib,” “Olive Park,” or whatever you want to call it, where we will be rafting up to each other directly behind the large cruisers that will be out for the Image Chicago magazine boat party. The helicopter will continue to take pictures, hopefully to be published in the magazine! So bring your anchors and your fenders and some food and drink to enjoy the party with the CPC crew.
A special THANK YOU to our newest club and event sponsor, Image Chicago Magazine (www.imagechicago.com), which will be providing coverage of this event AND the Chicago Poker Run. Glad to have you aboard, enjoy the ride!

Spoke with Paul from Chicago Image magazine this evening. He told me that the big cruiser boats will start showing up between noon and 1:00. They will be forming a line of boats inside the breakwall of the playpen. The area directly behind all the big cruisers will be reserved for the CPC boats as they arrive after their filming. Once the last boat is photographed, the chopper will enter the playpen and the photographers will start shooting still pics and video of all the boats in the raft offs.
The magazine will use these photos for publication in their monthly issues over the summer. The only boats that will be allowed to raft off behind the cruisers, will be the boats from the photo run.
I attended this party last june, and it was one to remember.
I shot over 80 pics of the party, here's some of the ones that I can show.
