And some great memories from the Chicago Poker Run a few years ago, but I wish I knew who is responsible for these:


(I will ALWAYS treasure these as my Father was with me; and this day/run was some of the roughest water I have ever run in.)

Yep, that's how hard they banked around for the next boat. Randy was WAY out the door, and said it nearly catapulted him out, UP! He was strapped in tight, AND he's afraid of heights! :D

That explains why you and the other ~50-60 registered boats turned around or did not start the 1st run to MI CITY :lolhit:

I was fine; the boat was fine.
It was my 66 year old Father I was concerned about.
