Sailing

Last week, I was invited along on a sailing trip in Lake Michigan. This is the view from the deck of the boat, which is anchored behind Soldier's Field.

The host was Ryan (at the wheel), and the other passenger was Brian (seen here playing with his iPhone),

The Chicago skyline soon grew smaller ...

... and the sun set as we sailed toward a destination in Indiana.

We spent the night at a marina owned by a casino, and as in most places, I slept soundly in my little cubbyhole below deck.

The winds were stronger the next day as we headed back for Chicago.

This time, the skyline grew bigger ...

... and we kept on sailing past the Navy Pier.

As we finished the last mile, I spent some bumpy moments on the bow.

Thanks, Ryan and Brian!
