I normally wait until Thursday to make this call, but the forecast appears to be stable so I am making the "go" call now. Forecast is expected to be mid-80's, which will make this one of the warmest CLC's in the event's history. Wind speed and direction are still a bit of an issue, so I will continue to monitor that closely. If Lake Michigan is forecast to be too rough, we may avoid it completely and run our "half-looped" route. I also do not yet know if we will be stopping at DuSable Harbor or not. More information will be coming out shortly, both on this site as well as via email.

There is little doubt that the current economic environment is placing considerable stress on recreational product industries. Despite experiencing troubling times, the 2009 Chicago Loop Cruise continues to be generously sponsored by the organizations below.  Their contributions are sincerely appreciated, and substantially enhance this event. 

Please visit their web sites for absolute best-in-class service by clicking on their respective logos below.

Registration for the 2009 Chicago Loop Cruise is CLOSED. While some of the registration links might remain active for awhile, please do NOT attempt to register for the event. I apologize for any inconvenience, but we need to move forward and I simply do not have the spare time to deal with new registrations.

If you are unable to attend this year, again please accept my aplogies. I do, however, encourage you to keep tabs on this site and join us next year, provided there is, in fact a 2010 Chicago Loop Cruise!

The Double Tree hotel has extended our group rate through April 17th for those who need a bit more time to work out details. However, registration for the event still ends Friday, April 10th.

Registration for the 2009 CLC is now open, but will only be available for through next week. No registrations will be accepted beyond Friday, April 10. 2009.

We will not have a fancy "package" of goodies 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. Make my day and order a dozen or two - they will make great birthday, anniversary, and holiday presents!!!

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.
