The winds were with us today.  We left Racine at 6:00AM and spotted the Chicago skyline within an hour.  Like the New York City skyline, the Chicago skyline can be seen for hours before you actually get there.  The waters coming to Chicago are Caribbean

teal as far as you can see.  It never fails we always are in a busy city or port on the weekend.  Chicago did not fail us.  There were big, fast, slow, tiny, you name it boats in the harbor going every which way at the same time.  Anxiety levels went way high.  We

had a slip in the downtown marina, and when we got there they

were not there to help us pump out, which is a first for us.  We got it done very cleanly, and headed to our slip.  There was another

boat in our slip.  Called the office and they gave us another one,

it was to small.  Call again and they gave us another slip, this time the office had their boats in it.  They moved their boats and gave us 2 nights for free for their bungling of the check in process.  We hit the streets and enjoyed the Navy Pier, and Michigan Blvd.  After

walking 6.5 miles and a Chicago pizza for dinner we hit the sack

for a good nights rest.  We will be here tomorrow and then we
