Good luck Jake.
But on another note, how the hell did Chicago get a round of the Waterman League ahead of QLD?
It is known as the 'Windy City' PT and shores Lake Michigan which is nearly 500 km's long so I guess one hell of a downwinder.

Not sure if you were being ironic there but Chicago's sobriquet "the windy city" has nothing to do with meteorological matters. The phrase was coined to describe either local politicians or Chicagoans propensity for bragging. There's no more wind in Chicago than most other cities in the USA. It is a beautiful city however, and I would love to paddle board along the river.
