I wouldn't have a problem with pushing it back a week if we had to. Really doesn't matter to me. I'm planning on going with whatever decision is made.

 

[Speedling]

Would you guys prefer Sunday the 12th?
Who's planning on going for sure if we do that?

Sundays just do not work for me because of working 3rd shift. Don't let let me stop anyone that wants to do it on Sunday, but a Saturday works so much better for me.
It might still be able to make Sunday work if I have to. Just have to see.

Sunday would actually be better for us. My mom will be leaving early that morning from Ohare so we could drop her off and head to the launch. Saturday she'll probably want to shop.

So what time on Sunday would that be?

Is everyone OK with Sunday? I know @scot71 has concerns about Sunday but could look into it as needed. Sound off please.

 

[shane hric]

Yeah, I'm good for June 12th Sunday!

 

[Speedling]

All good here!
Just a matter of kids or no kids and what time do we want to meet?

 

[scot71]

I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do Sunday. I guess we'll see you guys in Shelbyville.

 

[Speedling]

I am not guaranteeing that i can do it but if we went out at Portage marina the 11th would you be able to come up and hang @scot71 ?
Or anyone?
I have the day off there. Confirming schedules tomorrow and i will know but i have no problems boating two days in a row!

Could just do my little lake as well if that is easier.
@shane hric i know you were interested.

 

[scot71]

One of these options might be a doable @Speedling. I'll check with my wife and see what she thinks.

 

[OperationROL]

@scot71 - Sorry about this. My mother has already told me that she does not want to be "stuck" on a boat all day. I told her there is no such thing. She objects.

Don't worry about it Neil, things happen. I just wish I was on day shift. Then I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore. You guys have an awesome day, and we'll definitely meet up at Shelbyville.

 

[OperationROL]

OK. So with the change to Sunday, the following people have confirmed:

@OperationROL
@Speedling

I can do the 11th too and boat two days in a row! Olivia says you have to bring the kids either way!!

Awesome!
I was thinking that if it is really nice we all go out at portage. If not so much i will invite you all to my little cedar lake.

Hey @Speedling, I talked with my wife and if you're still thinking of doing something on the 11th. We're in, just let me know.

 

[GTBRMC]

We are on for Sunday, June 12. Couple of questions:

1) anyone have recommendation for a hotel near the launch? Need to park our tow vehicle and hitched boat in reasonably secure conditions

2) what time is launch? Obviously a half dozen or so is far less complex than 75 boats during the official loop cruise

3) picnic lunch or stop at restaurant at midpoint break?

I poked around the linked Loop Cruise site, but our group's logistics should be far simpler.

Thanks - really stoked about this cruise!

 

[Speedling]

I know we will bring food. We always do.
Don't know what hotels are good there since we "commute".
@OperationROL can determine time.

 

[Speedling]

Launch is at Worth, correct?
