Count me/us in for St. Joe and most likely Racine.

Racine has my vote for a 8/10 date. We may spend the night and come home on the 11th.

Just got home. Sounds like rv has got things going. Why don't we plan for the 10th with the 11th as are backup due to weather or an ugly North wind. I'm going to launch at Alsip or Hammond. Mr. Cig's group is out of Hammond. I know that group loves early starts. :D :D :D Mark we need to figure out when everyone would be ready to leave. That way we can get some sort of schedule going. We'll get the pack started down south and keep picking up boats as we go north. I know there are others that will probably join in with us as it gets closer. I'll give the restaurant a call and see if a large group would be any problem. We could just bring food and do a big raft up and eat on the water. Better yet we'll call the Pizza delivery boy and him deliver a bunch of Pizza's to the water for us. Maybe they will use that Quick Deliveries boat. :p :D LOL...
All we need is Mother Nature to smile on us.

32fever,
I guess we may do Venetian Night fireworks this year. I'd hate to come over that way and miss you guys. We will hook up sometime this year. How are these dates sounding to you Michigan guys?

Nice job! Obnoxus, Boatnut1, Wally, Sidebyside, Looney Tunes, Joey O, Zooming', Miss Cig and Mr. Rampage, what about you guys. I know we have more Chicago guys out here.
Dan

Since i no longer have a boat i cant commit to anything but i talked with Karl (SidebySide) and he's in for some crusing. He has a slip at Racine so i'll most likely just drive up there and meet up with everyone. If you all are gonna be driving up to Racine as a pack i'd love to get some pics of the pack as they are passing the water plant just south of Racine! :D

Anyone interested in staying over in Racine? If the weather gods allow, we may stay over then run to Milwaukee on Sunday.

Count us in for the Racine run on 8/11-12. We will launch out of Northpoint. May have a couple other boats with us. Ron Cigarette 28 this means YOU!

Anyone up for the fireworks in Chicago, Saturday night, on the way home from Racine?
