HUGE thanks to everyone that turned up and turned out for the Straight Jacket Run. 35 boats gathered off Portage and made the Run for Michigan City under sunny skies and 1-2 foot chop. Of course, things didn't go EXACTLY as planned...retrospect finds me laughing at myself for thinking a bunch of adrenaline-junkies would cruise at 55-60...and the proposed raftup never happened as we were somewhat trumped by barge location and a couple other boats parked where we were told to go (in addition to the rather untimely check the local Conservation Police decided to perform on my boat as I was looking for a spot for everyone).

Will post pics later and would encourage everyone else to do so...I know there were a TON of cameras out there.
