A month of images

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say. I'm hoping that the below pictures help cover for our general lack of blog updates recently.

This May saw a lot of action on B Dock.

Unilever came out for a Team Building event in the middle of the month. A little bit of the Irish luck helped us out, with a break in the rain that day allowing just enough time for the teams to go out and do some sailing. Despite the cold weather and waves - everyone returned to the dock with a smile on their face.



For each of our Team Building Events, the work boat goes out to monitor the race course, sound the starting horn and determine the winner. Prior to starting a race, boats have to sail in the area by the starting line being careful to not cross the line before the starting horn. If you accidentally cross the line too early, you're disqualified!





Off they go for a great event!

Basic Sailing has been very popular this season. We have over 60 sailors this week alone!





Recently a pair of sunglasses took a bath so Charlie and Alex went looking for them. Life is certainly interesting on B-Dock.



Already this season Chicago Sailing has hosted two successful marriage proposals, continuing our 100% success history. An unsuspecting girlfriend was led to the J/24 and greeted by a bouquet of roses and chocolate covered strawberries. Her day of surprises continued as they went out for a romantic charter than ended with a ring.
