Bill, very sorry to hear about your sis! Hope all goes well.

Roadboss, I can't make it this time, but I do hope we can do it again later this year. Sleeper said he will be there.

I was there! I didn't check the board Thursday before I left, it was kind of hectic trying to get the boat loaded up. We ended up riding down on my friend Ted's boat, a 25' Rinker. Thursday's forecast was calling for under 2' on Lake Erie in the morning, building to 4-6 footers by nighttime, so we were looking to get an early start. We didn't get out as early as we wanted, but the ride was still beautiful. 80 miles, a bit over 50 gallons of gas, and the ride was like glass the whole way. Hit about 20 bars, only missed a few. One of the guys at the brewery said there are 32 bars on the island, but I think that's counting a couple of private clubs and probably counting some places twice (counting the regular bar and the tiki bar seperate). We hit 20 different places, and only missed 4-5 that i can think of. We did hit some of the good spots more than once, also.

Rode back on Sunday. It wasn't as nice a ride as the way down, but it was still pretty smooth. Boat ran great both ways, which is good considering we got it running 2 days before the trip (overheating problem and ignition problem). My friend bought the boat a week before the trip, it crapped out on the ride home, and we had it fixed and ready to go for the trip anyway.
