Towards the end of a busy summer in which we spent several weeks biking on the isles of Scotland, we grabbed some beautiful early fall days to enjoy Cool Heads Prevail who was waiting patiently for us at our home port. We motor out of Burnham Harbor, hoist the main and then the genoa, turn off the motor - and we're underway!
The Chicago skyline views are stunning against a brilliant blue sky to the west, and I cana't help but snap yet another photo. We take off on a close reach, 8-10 knot winds from the northeast, boat speed 4-5 knots, nicely making way.
Soon the historic Chicago Lighthouse came into view, so we sail towards it, watching a small fishing boat trying to score some fish near the rocks. We move on out beyond the breakwall and put the Harriison Dever Crib in our sites. And we sail on and on for the entire morning. This just never gets old!
