And just like that

Last sunset of our sailing season in Montrose Harbor.

... the 2011 sailing season is over. Even though we sailed Further up a few weeks ago, today is the day that all Chicago harbors officially closed. We found out that the season was extended from October 15th to the 31st the day after we sailed Further up to Waukegan. We still think we made a good decision to sail her up on the 8th since we couldn't have asked for a better day for sailing. We are glad to report that WE ALL SURVIVED (Brady, Nadine, Further and Elaine)! Not only did we learn a TON of stuff about sailing, ourselves, each other and our relationship we had fun doing it. It was amazing and one of the best summers yet. We are already counting down the days until we can put Further back in the water. April 15, 2012 can't come soon enough. But until then we have plenty of projects to keep us busy for at least the next 3 off seasons.
