Houseboat Fall Delivery

Last week we capped the season with our fall trip down the Chicago River. For those aboard the "Squid," it was a bittersweet voyage.

It was a delightful way to spend an afternoon with friends with a view of one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. Visually stunning, I am genuinely awe-struck each and every time I catch a glimpse of Chicago from the water. And to think, every summer millions of people miss out on this experience.

For everyone this marked the end of the 2009 season, the bittersweet aspect of our voyage. After a surprising season, with variable weather and changes a-foot at Chicago Sailing, it was a chance to look ahead towards next season.

Office Staff member Mike Burlando was along with his camera. These are some of his photos.
