Day 1 Leg III

We're Finally Here!

Captain Chip on his way up to check on Ithaka! She's looking pretty darn good for having been in indoor-heated storage for almost a year! I got most of the dry goods, boat parts, charts, books and movies (oh yes, and wine) unpacked while Chip touched up the bottom paint and took care of other maintenance items. Back tomorrow to haul her into the Calumet River by noon. We will probably sit tight at Skyway Yachtworks in Hammond for a day or two before heading to downtown Chicago...getting Ithaka ready for the long journey ahead...a trip to Super Walmart, a Laundromat...and more than just a little bit of elbow grease...We are so happy!
