Checkmate Event

I just checked that Days Inn, no availability...What's going on up there this weekend???

Anyway, there's room availability at the Sleep Inn in DePere (south side of Green Bay) in case anyone is still looking. Go to www.sleepinn.com and you can find it there. We won't be making it this year, what a bummer.

For those of you who do not know, Green Bay up through Door County is some of the most beautiful boating in the country. Many boaters and tourist alike travel to this area in the summer to do up through the Door penninsula and through the islands. Nortern Wisconsin has year round tourism business, so you must plan ahead whe traveling up there. Better luck next time guys!

How is the weather forcast looking for the bay area. All i've seen is rain and thunderstorms the whole time. I've already got to much money invested in this trip to call it quits though. I'll just have to boat in the rain. Bill what time are you going to be there? Wish i was leaving today. I can't wait.

I wish all of you on the forum would have been able to go to the checkmate regatta this past weekend.The weather was less than nice the whole time,but you know us powerboaters, not much stops us from getting on the water. I arived thursday night, and of course slept because of the 13 hour trip. Friday morning Herb and I went over to bayview and met Bill and Stephanie( Awsome boat with the metal flake in the Graphics). We went out for a cruise of Green Bay, and then friday night met up with Gslinger and his wife Allison.( very hospitable people).( Awsome 280 ).Saturday went pretty well to considering the weather. We got to raft up and drink a considerable amount of wobbly pops,ok scratch that statement we probably drank all that greenbay had in stock. Any way kathy and i decided to stay Sunday and got to boat aferw hours before this horific storm came through and washed us out.I hate to type so i will leave the rest to Bill when he decides to get on here and post all the pics of the regatta.And i want to send out a big thanks to Larry at Bayview for making it all worth the trip.

. I would also like to thank Larry, his wife Lori, Gregg(gslinger) and his wife Allison for doing all that they did. Disturbed, you and Kathy are AWESOME! Also while out on Sat, we all saw a nice funnel cloud come out of one of the storms around us. You all can see by some of the pics I will send to Chris, We had some great weather too.
