I would have believed that the PMYC would go as a group like we did for the A&W show. I know I'll be out early. The first flight is scheduled for 1300 hours. |

If anyone knows of anyone looking for a nice little boat, let me know... |

Great trip overall. We've found the issue with the motor and are working it out with the manufacturer, it's covered under warranty. |

Great new facility offered by NOAA. You can view (rastered) NOAA charts online for free. It's not the same has having Chart Navigator Pro, but it's a great way to view charts from home or work without installing a thing. ~Thanks Sailing Master Timmy |

On September 6, the outrageous human-powered flying competition known as Red Bull Flugtag will once again soar over the Windy City. This time, however, it’s headed to the salty waters of North Avenue Beach where nearly 40 teams of fearless fliers will take to the skies. This year’s Red Bull Flugtag Chicago competitors have a lot to live up to – and we do mean up. Flip the clock back five years and you may remember King Kong, Snoopy the Red Baron and Larry the Flying Lobster hitting the Chicago skies in front of over 70,000 revelers. |

The Paul R. Tregurthais the largest boat on the lakes, at 1013' 6" and 68,000 gross ton capacity.
The Stewart J. Cort, was the first 1000-footer to be put into service on the Lakes, and also the only one built in the traditional wheelhouse-forward Great Lakes style (all accomidations are forward).
Another interesting 1000-footer is the Presque Isle, an integrated tug and barge combination. The Presque Isle is the largest tug / barge composite in the world. |

The largest vessels on the lake are the freighters referred to as the "1000 footers". The vessels are between 1000 and 1013.5 feet (305 and 309 m) long, 105 feet (32 m) wide and of 56 feet (17 m) hull depth. They can carry as much 78,850 long tons of bulk cargo although their loading is dependent on lake water levels especially in the channels and ports.
A dozen of these giant ships were built, all constructed between 1976 and 1981, and all are still afloat today. The most powerful of these, the Edwin H. Gott, carries two Enterprise DMRV-16-4 diesel engines driving twin propellers and is rated at 19,500 brake horsepower, making the Gott the most powerful lake boat on the seaway, with a top speed of 16.7 mph / 14.5 knots. |
