2017 Lake Shelbyville Illinois Gathering, July 26th to July 30th 2017

Yeah..................NO!
 
And I have a room at Lithia that I don't need! You're welcome to it.
It's one of the motel rooms, two beds. It's yours if you'd like.
PM me for details.
Do you still have this room and if so for what nights?
 
Well, the middle one is rum, and after that I forget about the other two...

First person to answer this will win something nice at the Gathering.................
What do the following numbers mean?
217
151
66
 
I made it to lake Monroe this weekend but didn't have time to finish boat up with tower oil changes etc. I saw several yamahas and a jet chapp. When i get home monday it's full speed ahead for Shelbyville prep!
 
And my Texas kids have it on their calendar hoping to join us. This time it will be both of them.

I can't believe what I am doing right now...............It has not even been 2 weeks since the 2016 Shelbyville Gathering and here we go already!

Everyone, this will be the 10th, I repeat 10th Annual Friends & Family Boaters Gathering. It has been a blast thus far and number 10 promises to be Epic!

The Place: Lake Shelbyville, Illinois
The Dates: Wednesday, July 26, 2017 - Sunday, July 30, 2017

In the past, most of the participants have stayed at Lithia Resort ( http://www.lithiaresort.com/ ) which is 1/4 mile from a public launch and the Lithia Springs Marina (http://www.lithiamarina.com/ ), where you can rent a slip for the weekend.

Mini gathering this past weekend at Shelbyville!!

Warm it up for the group!
 
So, I don't check the form that often these days, but after reading 20 something pages of riveting Bimini Crossing drama, let's have all the fun and crazy times we can...without drifting lost at sea and breakin' a bunch of stuff. Glad those guys are ok, but Lake Shelbyville is a much more "Relaxing" body of water to cross!
 
I get scared when 6 inch white caps form on the river. I can't imagine what those guys went through.
 
Does anyone need a slip still? One of the crews has decided to ride with another crew instead of using their own boat and had paid for a slip over on E dock.
 
Does anyone still need a Motel Room at Lithia? @Tad Steinberg still has a room he is trying to get rid of. It's a standard motel room. Thursday through Sunday.
