2019 Chicago Loop Cruise - June 1

[scot71]

I'm looking forward to it but I have to admit that Kim and Bren are a little apprehensive about how rough it might get. Hopefully they're prepared for the worst but have a great day.
Also, I was really hoping to get the boat on the water at least once before we went up there, but that hasn't happened (THANKS MOTHER NATURE). I think I may take Friday off so I can run it at the lake before we head up Friday evening.

Check the weather a day ahead. You will probably have worse waves from other boats in the section just south of the bridge as the boats heading south all get on plane.
Showing 1-3' waves for Thursday so far on the Lake section, which isn't too bad if you're used to it. I will try and keep tabs and let you guys know how that is. Otherwise you can always get to the lock and turn around.

I think I saw on the loop cruise website that a 6th Yamaha has registered, but I didn’t recognize the name. An SX240.

Beautiful day in the city!

 

[Augieol65]

Hopefully you guys are all safe with the hail that just passed through!

 

[Augieol65]

Saw you guys pass when we stopped for shelter/food at Lawrence Fish & Shrimp!

 

[jcyamahariders wife]

Made it through the hail okay some people enjoy rain and hail apparently lol @BigAbe75 @BigAbe75s Wife !

@jcyamahariders wife We aren’t the only ones that can strike a pose!

 

[BigAbe75]

I think we’ve only got a couple hundred pics to go through, but here are a couple.

We had sun, rain, hail, more rain, huge waves on Lake Michigan. Was a great adventure!




Check out this camper top / hail shield. Lol!


Our little ones hid out in the head compartment with a bag of chips during the hail. Littlest one wasn’t very happy with the hail, but the chips made her happy again. Lol

I couldn't resist I slowed down the dancing in the rain video added some music. Not sure what they were listening too but they were breaking it down ! @BigAbe75 @BigAbe75s Wife

We got a few of @scot71 trying to launch his boat to the moon on the lake. When I get them off the wife’s phone I’ll post some more.

That was a ride I really don't want to ever do again, but glad I did it once.
