1984 Excalibur 31'
Directions to Hammond

Hey Remember me?
The last time my Excalibur was out on Lake Michigan was September 2003. I exploded an exhaust valve on the run from Diversy to Michigan City and never even made it to the lunch.
Over the last 35 months, I took entirely too many things apart, but now have my boat back together, with bravos instead of TRS (new transom core, outer stringers, new dash, new paint on the deck, blah blah) Just happy to be back on the water.

On the off-chance the weather foecast changes I want to Launch at Hammond. Candyman Dan gave me directions last time, but I can't remember where the paper is (3 years ya know).
Anyway, whats the best route from the western suburbs?
294 South to.............?

Here's before and after.
(I didn't have the rear rail on yet in the after shot)

Re: Directions to Hammond

It depends on a few things.
1) what day
2) what time of day
3) how long you want to spend in traffic
4) are back roads o.k.???


p.m. me with a number and we can go over the options.....BZ
