Brightwater under way - making way. Once again.

Heading south on the river system through Chicago. Out of Holland channel at 8:15AM EST into 3-4 ft. waves and WSW breeze around 12kt. Waves slowly becoming less as we cross the 86 mile stretch until 1 1/2 ft. at Chicago.

Chicago skyline looks formidable and clean. Docked at Burnham Park Municipal marina approximately 4:00PM CST. Docked to port on the long outside of S dock to allow us to take down the dinghy and the radar arch for the low bridge trip, tomorrow, down the Cal-Sag Channel and the Calumet river. Postponed the lowering of the arch till the morning so we could watch the Packers-Vikings Monday night game.
