It was a great cruise into Chicago Harbor earlier today...the fog rolled in just as we left Hammond Marina...gave us a chance to really "trust" our instruments! Probably the last time for a long while before we get to use the chart plotter again...once we are on the river system it's all paper charts and line of site navigation. It was exciting to maneuver through the markers and dodge the sailboats as we made our way into this magnificent harbor. I put a few videos on YOUTUBE if anyone is interested in checking them out!
Once we docked Chip scrubbed down the outside of the boat while I got dinner started...we went for a long walk up along Lake Shore Drive to Grant Park where the Chicago Jazz Festival is taking place all weekend. Now we are going up on the top deck to watch the fireworks at The Navy Pier which is just off our starboard bow. Life is good on Ithaka.
