I had a slip at Torch River Marine on the east side of the river. I know what you mean about feeling old.

Great vids. Certainly you guys took some photos up there on Torch...?

I will be passing through there myself this weekend on my way to Boyne Thunder.

Yes there were!! Lots of Boats on Saturday
We were right up on shore in the center. Waited til about 6:30 So the bay could lay down. Had a good ride out of the bay back to Charleviox. Once we were out of the bay, we were running with the sea in , I'd guess 2-3 footers. Hit round Lake by 7:30.

Great Show. Water was a bit chilly. But that made Charlevoix seem like Bath water on Sunday.

Along the shoreline there looked like a lot of boats. Out in the bay on the north side of the 'fly zone' I didn't think there was to many. Most of the boats (inc me) just floated as it was to deep to anchor.

Running back to Elk Rapids was a piece of cake. I came from behind, but was in the front of the pack by the time we passed Power Island.


mb.

PS: Torch lake was PACKED all weekend. Cops (inc the State boys) were everywhere around the Torch river bridge. I can't imagine the pain trying to get back on the trailer at the end of the day - no thanks - to old for that anymore.
