Chicago
“Red sky in the morning is a sailor’s warning.” ” Red sky at night is sailor’s delight” This was sunrise. Chicago in the summertime is glorious.

Kenosha, Wisconsin
Today was another Chamber of Commerce day as we headed to Kenosha: smooth water and clear skies with light winds. As we left Milwaukee a lake cruise ship entered the harbor.

Port Washington, Wisconsin

In many places along the coast from Manitowoc to Port Washington we were surrounded by 40 to […]
