Yeah...I knew St. Joe docking would be an issue...and Pier 33 is across the channel...so it'd be hard to get TO Clem's even if we docked over there. The OTHER Clem's would be no better...its a longer run to South Haven, but finding dockage on a summer weekend up there would be very difficult, and the weekend you have chosen is Harbor Fest in South Haven...every slip will be full.

Last year, we ran from South Haven up to Saugatuck on Harborfest weekend with like 11 boats...and couldn't find space to dock ANYWHERE. It SUCKED. Coral Gables in Saugatuck used to have a bunch of docks for transients, then they put seasonal slips in and only had one transient dock, which we used for a couple years in a row. (See picture) This year...oh well...too bad, so sad. Typically, more than a few local businesses profit from the bar tab our crew provides...

My vote is late September as well. Would rather have big waves and less people.

Also, going to be hard for me to leave the comfort of LOTO during a perfectly good boating weekend to go to MI.

After Labor Day, there is not really much going on at LOTO. The Onion Run would be a great last hurrah for those of us not going to Florida for the winter poker runs.

Plus, considering it's a rough water run, breaking something wouldn't be as much of a PITA since it's late-season.

Might have a problem in Saint Joseph. Lake is 16 inches below last year. I just rcvd the USACE report, and they are showing a trend line to have next year 15 inches below this year.

Yes the St.Joe river and Morrison channel are way down I hit bottom in a dinghy not to far up from Clem in St.Joe. Docking at pier 33 I think would be a problem cuz most the slips are either owned or rented for the summer. St.Joe boat house has some docking but they probably wouldn't like people docking there then going to Clem. South Haven Clem has probably 50-60 slips like 2 or 3 blocks away and across the river maybe another 50-60 slips a little longer walk but could stop at Captin Luis and and refresh on the way but not a bad walk might take like 10-15 to walk there
