Waukegan to Chicago - Sept 27th




We left the dock at 7am with a temp of 60 damp degrees but with the rising sun burning it off. Lake offered NE wind and calm seas which makes it a perfect powerboat day. We do have XM radio and can even pick up NPR “Weekend Edition” on our Walkman headsets. 3 hour ride to Chicago and we were greeted with sailboats racing, a large schooner under full sails and sightseeing boats.
We are staying in the DuSable Marina at an outrageous price for poor facilities but the view and proximity to everything is fantastic. We played tourist and visited the Navy Pier, took a 2 hour bus tour of the city, grazed and watched harbor fireworks in the harbor at 9pm. Great day!!!
