The east side of Chicago

It's hard to view Chicago from the east, but today I got the chance!  I went sailing on a small sonar sailboat today.  There were just three of us and with the wind and relatively calm waters (wind coming from the west) we were able to move fast and on quite a lean. I sat on the rail (I think that's what it was called) and also got to steer for a bit when we were running flat. I've never been sailing on a small boat on Lake Michigan and I'd certainly gladly do it again.  At first I was nervous, but then it was just relaxed exhilaration.
