We will be launching at Richard J Daley Park Boat Launch located at Western Avenue and 31st Street between 8 and 8:30 although Captains are welcome to launch wherever they wish. We will meet up at the Downtown
Docks located on the south bank of the Chicago River between State Street and Dearborn Ave between 9:30 and 10am.
This is the fourth time we have done this, and we have never had any issues with rough water, but please be sure to bring fenders in case we have to raft off of each other to make space for all of the boats.
As the show comes to a close around 2pm, we will start up our engines and disembark and travel along a short parade route that will bring us down to the locks at which point we will turn around and head back up the north
branch of the Chicago River. Captains are welcome to cruise wherever they wish as the parade will be a casual
part of the afternoon.

Space is limited but we have room for one or two more boats.
Please contact Michael Furibondo if you would like to join or have any questions.
