CHICAGO River Flyertalk Pontoon Boat Morning Cruise - Sat Sept 15 (9:45am)
C'mon out with some other Flyertalkers and take a pontoon boat cruise on the Chicago River with Captain Sweet Willie.
This will be a morning cruise, 9:45am sharp is the departure time. If attending you'll need to be at the dock by 9:30am. (Dock is located at intersection of Elston & Division)
Boat is BYOB, so bring your beverage(s) of choice as well as your eats if so inclined !!
Cruise is 2 hours long.
No bathroom on boat, there is a porta potty by the dock so plan accordingly if porta potty's aren't your thing.
There are now 12 attending, so no more spots open. See you all on Sat morning !!!

Well, I am not a morning person, but I couldn't make it anyway.
I'm out here in Vancouver on the YVR Do.

Would have been fun. Unfortunately airfares were uncooperative. It would have been cheap as chips to get to Chicago, it was the getting back home part that posed an issue...
