Sailing on Lake Michigan

we had an awesome sail last night on the boat. here we are shoving off from Monroe Harbor in downtown Chicago (Monroe Harbor is the one in front of Buckingham fountain in all the pictures of the skyline)
my brother jeff and i on the bow under full sail. jeff is the 1st mate, i am a about a 1/2 mate right now.
my dad the captain and the rest of our crew putting up the main sail with the Chicago sky line in the background.
we sailed into the sunset under clear skies and hardly any waves from the offshore wind. this is Rich and Paulette my parents good friends. Rich donated his kidney to his wife Paulette 17 years ago!

my dad at the helm, preparing to come about.

mom and i as we head in for the night. navy pier in the background. i am glad i was able to get out on the boat, i should be back to Fairbanks by Friday.
