Couple years ago I started a post in regards to snowmobiling. Didn't seem to spark a lot of interest. This last year while snow was scarce. I managed about 1800miles across Northern Wis. And the U.P. meeting fantastic people along the way.
I'm wondering if the Corvette community has any interest in watercrafts? Chain-o-Lakes, Lake Michigan, Illinois River, Mississippi river. Maybe a trip to Florida?
I'm planning a trip with a friend in early winter to jetski from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini, Bahamas.
Just looking for input........Joe

If you bring enough beer for everyone then you can tie off anytime.

I have a 23' Sea-Doo jet boat on Bluff Lake, south of Lake Marie and northeast of Grass Lake. It's my Corvette on the water, though it's twin-engine 430 hp can't keep up with the 436 hp on my GS! Has something to do with the coefficient of drag!

Well, I have three friends on the upper chain. Smallest boat is a donzi 27'. Other two are cruisers. With all the Captain & Coke I can stomach. Haha! With that said, maybe ill call you to hang with us! Haha! Awesome. Don't forget to bring your beer! Haha!
I forgot to mention. Most of my friends are alcoholics. Haha!
