I am thinking of going to the Bay on the 5th for the Blue Angels. I will launch in Elk Rapids, about a 12 minute drive fron the south end of Torch Lake. From Elk Rapids it is a nice cruise around Old Mission Penninsula and then down to TC. Maybe 25 MIles. My plans are open ended depending on the party after the 4th.

Have Fun

We are staying in some cabins south of the lake, chain of lakes campground? We are trailering to the lake. We will be up tonight, on Torch Thursday and Friday at the sand bar. Sat we are open i think, there is about 6 boats coming with us ranging from 24-32 ft so I guess we'll have to see what herd wants to do. Stop by and have a cold one with us:drink:

I am envious, Torch lake is a great spot.

We saw Skin there, 2 years ago, but so did the water boyz.
poor girls - don't know if they got a ticket, but they did get to go home. Carefull with patrols, they to like the sand bar.

Gotcha, our girls are not that kind so we shouldn't have a problem.:cool: Does the water patrol like to do random boardings? If you stay "low key" are you OK? Thanks!

Just dont be an idiot and they will leave you alone. PWCs are a different story.

MM, water patrol is great there(KNOCK ON WOOD!) If you don't do anything stupid they leave you alone. They pulled me over about 7 years ago and I totally deserved it and they were still pretty cool. They basically told me if I wanted to "hot rod" get away from the sandbar.

Did I meet you at Lost Pines Lodge this winter?

Maybe I could've worded the skin comment better, really for the above previous posts.

We've never had any problems with the patrols. Like Jrider says, but they are there. I have three little ones under 6 and they are pretty much cop repelants.:rolleyes: ( as long as they have boat coats on)
