Welcome to Sailing ’08. We are as eager as you to put this winter behind us



The interesting thing about Chicago Weather is how dramatically it can change. We can go from cold and wet to hot and dry in an instant. Rarely do we experience a traditional spring with gradually increasing temperatures. So, it is with this in mind, that we start the season early. It gives sailors a chance to tune themselves up before the great weather dominates. This past weekend has given us a taste of what to expect. And while the weather has thwarted our efforts to have all boats ready for the season, we have plenty available.

Season beginning


Here we have the first shot of Belmont Harbor from our dock. As you can see here its still quite empty. As each day passes though we will see it fill up.
