Three of us took a cruise up to Chicago from Hammond to stay in Du Sable Harbor and see the 20+ Tall Ships docked at Navy Pier and view not one, but 2 fireworks shows on Saturday evening.
Weather was perfect and seas were 1-2 foot and less.
Fed 11 people of the back of 'Dancing on the Water' and all had a Great Time.
Many on here post about Chicago and the Harbor System, but I am here to tell you what a great experience we had in Du Sable.
Made a request for a dock about 1 month ago and received confirmation the following week.
Then two more dockmates wanted to tag along.
Made a couple of calls and managed to get T Head slips for them.
Since this is a fairly small harbor this was not a problem.
Amy, Chirsta and the rest of the employees bent over backwards to assure that we had eveything we needed, including securing a much coveted parking pass in the harbor's underground garage for our invited guests.
This weekend not only included the Tall Ships and related crowds, but Sunday morning more than 9000 athletes showed up for the Chicago Tri-Athalon.
Again what a Great Time we had.
Don't believe all you hear about the Chicago Harbor System.
Pictures are attached and in random order.
