100th Running Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac

[ijansing]

Does anybody know the letter of the law when it comes to using sock for hoisting an ASYM. The debate on the boat last night was that ORR allowed it but someone was sure they heard otherwise.

Anyone?

 

[FINS]

Anyone?

Why would you want to?

 

[coolerbythelake]

For you? yes, my place, bring beer, and be prepared to make me sandwich before you leave... Cab fare not included, unless of course it'll mean you'll leave faster..
Tomorrow my dear, to-morr-ow... Again, think sandwich.

oh, Blubber, and I thought we were friends. Well, maybe not friends, but friendly acquaintances. Or maybe just acquaintances. Anyways we've met. But now? Cab fare my ass.

We need somewhere to leave our car. 35 bucks/day parking at our hotel (hilton on monroe) doesn't cut it. Suggestions?

If you're feeling adventurous, you can park for free on the street about an mile and half walking west down Monroe--a $7 cab ride at most. I believe the streets are New Orleans/Clinton--unless something changed in the past year. (Paying for parking is against my religion)

Orleans

Hey Skull & Bones, did you get a ride??

Get on Grand Ave (600 N.), drive west. After you cross the highway (around 1200 W.), cut down a couple side streets, you'll find non-metered/ non-permit residential parking. The Grand Ave bus will take you back into the downtown area for $2.00. Just remember to write down the street name and address. This way when you get back , you can tell the cabbie right were your car is. You'll actually be in my old neighborhood. Crime isn't too bad. Jsut don't leave your GPS and shiz in the car where the shitheads can get to it.

This I give you for free, because that's the way I roll.

If anyone hears Dark Side of The Moon at midnight during the race, stop by for a beer...or better yet, drop one off!
