Well what a wonderful Sunday it was. I was up at 7am so M and I could be on our way downtown by 8:15 for what has become our annual May voyage up to Winthrop Harbour where the boat is stored. A quick car ride into the city, then an almost 2 hour train ride, some laughs along the way and some quiet moments to just reflect as this is our first boating season with us no longer being a couple.
His brother was waiting for us upon our arrival and drove us on to the harbour and thankfully the boat was in the water and for the most part ready to go, we filled it up with gas and we were off on our way. The sun was shining bright but unfortunately it was really chilly so jackets and jeans were the dress code instead of my usual speedo, oh well plenty of time for that later.
The water was pretty calm, only waves of about one foot. M set it to autopilot and off we went. A great ride down to the city of Chicago, by the time all was said and done it was after 3 in the afternoon. M commented as the boat cruised closer to our harbour that it was like coming home. I could not have agreed more.
What a great way to spend the day. I can only hope that everyone got out and did something to enjoy the day and reflect on life.
