Closing up for the Season

The end of October is always bittersweet for Chicago Sailing. This month has proven even more so, with the wonderful sun that we have had recently. Despite the sun and mild temperatures, winter is coming.

Next week's weather is a mixed bag of rain and heavy winds interspersed with a couple of dry days. On those dry days we will be hauling out the remainder of our J/22's and the J/24.

Tuesday morning our remaining two Hunters will depart for Racine, WI. If you want to join and learn a bit about long-distance cruising, sign up here.

On Wednesday, our office will move to our winter headquarters in Logan Square. The houseboat will remain on the dock until Friday or Saturday, when we make one final trip through the locks to Canal Street Marina.

All that sums up to this weekend being our last weekend for the season. Boats are available. Come say hi! We'll miss seeing you over the off-season.
