Houston, we are GO for launch!

Forecast is expected to be low to mid-70's. Wind speed and direction are still a bit of an issue, so I will continue to monitor that closely. I am not very optimistic regarding Lake Michigan due to gale force winds expected today and tomorrow. If Lake Michigan is forecast to be too rough, we will avoid it completely and run our "half-looped" route.

We are NOT stopping at DuSable Harbor this year. Due to our date of May 1st, the Chicago Harbors are already open, and slip holders are beginning to populate the harbor. If anyone chooses to stop at any Chicago harbor, you are doing so individually, and not as part of the CLC.

I may personally try stopping along the wall at Ping Tom Park, but will make that decision when I get there. More info to follow shortly via email.

Let's Get Looped!!!!

Only one week remaining before the scheduled 2010 Chicago Loop Cruise!! I hope the weather forecast is better than what is expected this coming weekend, although we have run this event in cool weather and rain.

Get your gear on board, coolers packed, and gas tank filled! Its just about time to Get Looped!!

The DoubleTree hotel is holding 10 more rooms for us through midnight, Sunday April 18, 2010. Get your reservations in now if you have not already done so.

Sorry for the delay everyone! Registrations are coming in faster than I can process them. Will get the entire site updated ASAP. Thanks for your patience!!!

Registration for the 2010 CLC is now open. No registrations will be accepted beyond Friday, April 9. 2010.

Logistical challenges will require the event to begin Friday night April 30, 2010, with the actual cruise on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Be sure to check the details page for contingency plans.

We will not have a fancy "package" of goodies again this year due to limited budgets and time. We will, however, have yet another really cool t-shirt, and everyone must order at least one.

Please make sure you begin to keep daily tabs on this website as information will begin coming out quickly.

To get your party started, begin with the registration form.
