I know this won't be an easy fix. I do feel we can come to an agreement. Thats why I started this thread early....more time to negotiate. I dont think the dates will be a problem, it seems we need to work on where to have it. I am not that knowledgable on Michigan... we drove all 3 times and the last 2 times was to traverse City both times and that seemed far to me.
I would really like to have a meet and greet. If we cant get the Hatt's there at least we should try and get ourselves. we will just keep trying for a suitable common ground ( or should I say body of water?) I have confidence that we can get this organized!!! ppat

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
DLC: Cheboygan is interesting. Those headed to points north, Drummond Isle, N. Chan, Les Snows, Mack Isle, et al, can jump off from there. Usually lots of docking at the downtown municipal docks, just south of the drawbridge, plus the County Marina, which is just inside the river entrance. Also, there are usually some transient slips out at Duncan Bay Marina.
P.s., has anyone on the HOF ever dropped anchor in the Government Cut, up at the Snows? If so, what was that like?50 Years on the Great Lakes...

What do I have to do to get you guys motivated? I NEED input!!!!

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
Ppat and Yachtsmanbill,
Although berthed along the Gulf I am in the Chicago area regularly, I would very much like to meet some of the HOF gang. I will make every effort to attend any get together.

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
Hell Pat, you know I have a hard time saying no. Never figured you and Willie for non-drinkers, so does that mean I'd have to bring my own gonja too? LOL
I'd be proud to help crew the sub assuming this thing falls on a date I can make happen.

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
Any and all welcome. We are not drinkers. An occasional beer for Bill or a drink for me is about our limits.
As long as you dont get raging drunk on the boat we dont care if ya drink one or two... just no glass bottles.
As fer the gonja...is that a musical instrument? Hell, we can have an orchastra...I'll be bringing my acccordion and maybe we can find someone to play something else.
HEY!!!! The band will be supplied free of charge!(Tips greatly appriciated) Put your requests in now so I have time to pratice the songs. LOL ppat
p.s cant spell tonite....as ws would say izz tired!Last edited by yachtsmanbill; 01-01-2010 at 08:02 PM. Reason: qqwqwqqww

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
I just did a little research on Boatnerd.
From Chicago to Ludington 156 miles
Chicago to Escanaba 274 miles
Chicago to the SOO 414 miles
From Detroit to SOO 331 miles
Unfortunately these arent even natical miles they are statue miles (?).
I vote that all the guys near Detriot sell their houses and move to the Lake Michigan side so we can have this get together. LOL
Well, I must say I can see why it is hard to put this together. Please notice that I said hard... not impossible.
Lets get some more input. I still havent given up yet. ppatyachtsmanWILLY

Re: Coming out Party or GLR
Pat,
Part of the problem is that the Great Lakes is a very large area. Most other rendezvous are regional. I think you'd have more success calling it the South Lake Michigan rendezvous. Most of the HOF members from Ludington to Milwaukee south will probably try to make it. Any others from further away that attend are a bonus.
I think if some of the guys on Lake Erie have a get together, most of the Lake MI people would not attend. You see what I mean? Don't try to make it a national event and I think you'll do just fine. Pick a place and a date and keep it simple. Just my 2 cents, FWIW.Sky Cheney
