The Windy City

We left Waukegan with a southwest wind.  The travel to Chicago was very nice.  Had a laugh trying to get on a mooring ball, at Monroe Harbor.  We used our headsets and all is now well.  We only ran over the stupid ball twice.  It was the balls fault.

We took off this morning and are now in Waukegan, Illinois.  Waved to our sister, Beth Tyshynsky, as we drove by her and Walt's condo.  She was outside with binoculars and a camera.  Picture is not too clear, but maybe that was just my eyes.  Not much to do by the marina in Waukegan.  We had some great ice cream and went back to the boat.  Previous loopers have stated ice cream is one of the looper great joys.  

We spent the day saying goodbye.  Family and friends are the reason we enjoy life.   Last night, our brother and sister-in-law - Todd & Maria stopped by.   Today we visited with many friends - Gary, Julie, Bill, Catherine, Steve and many more.  We ended the day with many family members - Ken, Beth, Walt, Kristin, Tom, Liam and even Walt's brothers Andy and George.  It was a great day!

Today, Mikes brother Ken drove down from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to say goodbye.  Mike let him drive to get gassed up.  We are hoping to take off tomorrow morning.  It is actually time.  We are very  excited.

Yesterday we spent the evening enjoying the company of many wonderful friends.  Dinner was a delicious stuffed pork chop cooked and grilled by our friend Tim.  Friends and family will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.  

Picture is of the sunrise over SSYC, this morning.

Today SSYC had a visitor from Chicago.   This beautiful Chris Craft would make a great looper boat.
