Snow, driving sleet and freezin temps!!

We at Chicago Sailing love our new office location here at Belmont Harbor. We know how lucky we are to be in the harbor and to be able to look up from our computers to see the harbor and the view of the city..... most of the time that is.

Here is a shot from the harbor entrance this morning
The winds were gusting to about 35 knots with waves of 7ft - 9ft rolling straight into the harbor. Our office was like a leaking sieve, rocking and rolling around the dock about to break free. We managed to secure all of our boats and find the offending leaks (not before they had found the way to our computers and phone systems) luckily we averted any damage and nothing exploded.
Needless to say our Basic 101 class that was scheduled for today was canceled and will be rescheduled for next week.

Let's hope this weather moderates and summer returns soon.
