Chicago boaters?

Seriously. But, I'm currently in the process of installing a new VHF since my old one crapped out, so it's not safe to go out... and I'm secretly slightly happy that it hasn't been nice. :p
 
Question - anyone have a canvas shop they use? I am looking to get a few zippers replaced.
 
And.....the Memorial Day weekend forecast looks to be holding steady on "pretty bad".

Maybe dealing with hurricanes isn't such a bad gig....
 
Funny how Chicago works. Bad weather for nearly all of May then record breaking warm temperatures. Never thought I'd say this but I actually got boated out this past weekend. Think I put at least 12hrs on the boat.

I hear ya, and I think everyone did the same. We were out Thurs and Fri evening, day/night on Saturday, and Sunday/Monday day. I went to Diversey to wash the boat yesterday after work and it was a complete ghost town. No one out, no boat traffic, nothing. I think everyone was boat-hungover from the weekend. That said, I'll take a weekend like that anytime Mother Nature will give it to us!
 
Hey guys, wanted to resurrect this thread as I am a new member of the Chicago CSR gang. I have a 2001 260DA docked at Diversey Harbor on C-dock (south facing). Would love to meet some other members here and maybe some members who would be interested in mentoring me a bit as this is my first boat! Thanks
 
Morning! - I think a few of us are over at Burnham Harbor - I would be interested in a meet/float up at some point. Also feel free to DM me at anytime with any boating questions you may have. If i dont know, I can point you in the right direction! :) BTW...can we call ourselves Chicago boaters if it wont stop raining and we can never get out on the water? lol

Hey Mike! I know a couple guys at Burnham, but no Sea Rays. I would be interested in a meet-up as well. And I will take you up on the boating questions, I appreciate it.

Who else is docked in Chicago this season??
 
I'm up north at North Point - Winthrop Harbor.
