I was out Sunday, only for a few hours as a passenger on my buddies boat;
it seemed like normal 4th of July weekend idiots. One thing we noticed was how the people per boat increased. We saw many boats with just too many people on board.
Hey Mark,
What color was that Profile?

I was on the big lake...
Waves to Milwaukee were 1 foot or less. Great day on the water!
Great place to open the boats up.
Something to consider if the Chain gets to overrun.

Bob, We missed you, I would have been out there myself but I had my hands full with our July 4th Bash.
"No smoking" on my boat for sure...not ever, even though its old interior, I don't want to blow up.
Klaw, Saw you go by BK in the evening...
And that Profile was the single engine V with "80 Proof" on the sides, throws a nice tail... WFO, Yep.

Sunday was nuts!! I agree, too many idiots with less brains than water guns. They stop in the channels trying to squirt each other, back up etc...
Some kid dropped his squirt gun in the channel between Fox and Petitie and jumped off the boat to get it. The channel was like a highway with the amount of boat traffic.
Glad we live here, can get out during the week or early before the drunks wake up and try for round two!! Not much on holiday weekends. Doent help that the Chain was closed for 3+ weeks.

Well,
The wife and I talked and the Donzi is being sold. She wants nothing to do with the Chain anymore. Due to F*ck heads she wants to give boating period. But on a better note now I can go buy a lambo

As Mark suggested give this a try before pulling the plug. There is a great boat launch at Northpoint with easy parking and it is free too. There is a lot of water and the people that boat out there don't seem to get out of control like some of those on the Chain. On a sunny day you can see the bottom in 12-14' of water.
For a great time try:
