I'll be totally honest. We were a marshall boat scheduled to be appx. midway between Charlevioux and Elk Rapids. We were watching the weather Friday and early morning Saturday and never left the marina in Traverse City.

Looking forward to seeing the video of all the boats hammering it when leaving for the Poker Run.

You mean all the boats trying to turn around in the channel to head for the dock?

You didn't miss much, I was a Marshall boat also, south of Northport and only saw 4 boats, apparently only 6 went as far as Elk Rapids.

The channel mess was the most stressful part of the day.

I can tell you first hand there was some deep holes. I ran Joe's boat and it was a blast to steer the boat while he throttled. Truly the one of the best on the sticks!!!! It was comical how the big cats, not anyone in particular, cough, cough (Deal With It Skater) in our fast group were full of piss and vinegar on Lake Charlevoix and then cause a jam turning around in the channel. We were one of the last boats out into Lake Michigan, if not the last. We were both excited just to come up some boats as we found a good rhythm to run (cruised around 65mph), and he it was the 33 powerplay. Neither one of us said a word, just looked at each in amazement and chuckled! Frickin props to them boys!!! All I know is we made both card stops and were the first back to the lunch stop that did both stops. Guess it shows the how impressive a Mike Fiore creation and Joe Sgro stick man really is.

Here's a picture my wife took as we came back into Charlevoix, as we came off plane I checked my phone to see I had 20 missed calls and about 10 texts from her. Guess she was a little worried. LOL
Can't wait to see what Pete got from the chopper.

Great pics of you airing it out yesterday at Boyne !

Weren't you in one similar last year and you where the only one out in the big stuff ?

I think one of these huge water events needs to give you the Big Brass Balls Trophy.
