Muskegon 1st Annual Poker Run June 14, 2014

[Ratickle]

The turnout at Muskegon's First Annual poker run was much better than the organizers had hoped for. A couple teaser pics to start before I get through all of my shots. Great boats, great weather, great water, and a great host at the Muskegon Yacht Club. The unofficial/official entry number was just over 40. There were also a lot of people and boats there that were not official entries, like us! We could not make the captains meeting so could not participate officially.

If you have pictures or stories about the event, put them up.

My friend who took the shot said he was hoping to get a shot of me falling off the bow....

Must have been warmer down there. Cold north wind here yesterday.

Yesterday air temp was 75, Muskegon Lake water temp was 64, Lake Michigan water temp was 53. Just a slight breeze, not bad at all. (No good air shots to speak of in the big lake when we went out....

Endangered Species was looking really sweet and running well. They made a couple passes up the lake and were putting on quite the show.

The Cary puts up a nice wake-jumping wake at 50, but not many takers......
