Is there a web site to check sea conditions

Try this site

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/zo...es/glcstmz.htm

Let me know if that works

You will need to check again on Thurs to see if conditions start calming down which according to the weather man Saturday is to be a great day!

The lake might be a little "bumpy" on friday, but with the winds changing from the N/E to the south, and the winds dieing to 5-10, they're calling for 1-2's for sat and highs about 80, cooler by the lake.
The guys in the canopy boats oughta like that.:cool:

I heard the JAWS boat running today from upstate Michigan all the way to Chicago. Can you say 3800hp.

Dave said that he's running it easy. 5000 rpm/125 mph. That's easy enough.:rolleyes:

SOLD OUT - Chicago Poker Run
 
I am so sorry that we had to turn away boaters that called me and wanted to sign up on Saturday. The problem we have is that the ballroom at the casino has a seating capacity. We added 50 more seats on Friday and that is all the hall can legally hold.

Man all I can say is what a run!! We had a great time and will be back next year. Hope all the E DOCK guys and ladies will return as well. Awsome hardware:D what a great bunch! It was really great to meet all of them.

This has to be the best poker run hands down. Everyone was awsome, great food, great cause and great water.


The old 42 Fountain of ours held together well, just the stereo we had is in pieces. Also if you are going to run the big waves take out your anchor from the anchor locker, they leave really bad spider webs in the paint when they come through the side like ours has.:( We found the spot today when wiping the boat down. Painter said it is a crappy thing but can be fixed.
Again that is by far the best run bar none.

Thank you all for showing us such a great time

Crown man, great job as usual. You always come through with flying colors. Everyone loved the trophies and plaques. We still need to finalize the club plaques.
