My drysuit is in our boat if you need it, should just be laying on the floor.

the forecast looks like 50's and rain here. No good.

Gordon- I would normally hook you up for sure, but I will be out of town this Thurs-Mon.

If you ever make that trip again, let me know, I live right off I-65 in Northern Indiana and you're always welcome.

Nice- I will be making the trip a few times in may and June! Drive down on Sundays and back on Fridays!

I will keep you posted!

FYI... we are planning a 'Meet and Greet' on May 9th at the Broken Oar Port Barrington! All are welcome!
