Just made reservations in Grand Haven, most of the hotels are full. We're heading to our second Smoke On The Water run, unfortunately boatless again this year but it's still a heck of a show. And this year, we're bringing our two-and-a-half year old daughter. She loves boats; in fact, she told me the other day that she needs a "big huge boat" (that's my girl!) so this should be a big thrill for her.

Hope to see some of my OSO brothers out there!

Don sounds good - I'll PM you my cell number, we'll make plans as it gets closer. After Morgan told us she needed a "big huge boat" I asked her if she wanted a fast one or a slow one.

"Fast one Daddy!"

I'm tellin' ya, that kid's a genius....

we will bre in holland about 1/2 mile offshore at 10:00am watching them roll in at 10:10. (10 minutes after they started in Grand Haven BTW !!)

then we will proceed up the coast to Grand Haven, getting there the same time the smokers go to south haven , get their card, and run the whole way north again. We will be in Grand Haven , tying to the wall about 11:30

we will check the boats out at the dock. while the owners eat and their mechanics wrench ( ok, some owners do thier own wrenching......)

then we will watch them head out again for Whitehall after lunch

look for me
