Chicago sailors if you are staying at the AC we will see you at breakfast at 7:30 or at Columbia Yacht Club at 8:15 am

We are on our way to Chicago, about 40 miles from Indiana and traffic has been light. FYI, there is a Trader Joe’s very close to the hotel if anyone is looking for snacks for the regatta.

[Eric Ellison (snr)]

I spoke to the regatta host this morning and we will most likely be in the bay but due to moored boats we will be further south from the harbor.

We need a plan for lunches and Saturday dinner

[Eric Ellison (snr)]

We may need a volunteer to tow a powerboat to and from Chicago

The CSS Coaches will be staying at the AC Hotel Downtown Chicago

See the NOR for important regatta information

Fridays are tough to plan due to the fact that people arrive at many different times, but I know some of us end up at a Mexican restaurant across the street from the hotel called Su Casa
Thank you for arranging lunch on Saturday. I appreciate and typically the parent that arranges the lunch. Send out a Venmo request for each sailor.

Ellison 4 with coach Will

[Eric Ellison (snr)]

Thank you for looking into this I believe we have 18-20 sailors attending most with at least one parent so I would say 30-40 people for dinner would be good rough estimate

[Eric Ellison (snr)]

Door Dash and Uber Eats are very reliable options in the city, or a make a bag lunch table from a local grocery store.

[Eric Ellison (snr)]

I am checking to see if I can secure a boat in Chicago

Approximately 18 sailors and 2 coaches
