Places to visit : Cruise on Michigan Lake

Some pseudocode first :)

  • If you live in Chicago
  • If you are looking for a place to have a small get together

{OR}

  • Take your significant other on a special date
  • Just trying to impress a girl/guy :)

{AND}

  • It is summer

Check out the private sail charters offered on Lake Michigan. Unlike the giant cruise boats that you can get onto, at the Navy Pier, these trips offer a more intimate and unique experience. The gaint cruise boats are for the tourists :) .

I got to take a trip on one of the sail boats this weekend. The Red Witch, name of the boat we sailed on, is a topsail schooner. Unfortunately, we were not able to raise the sails, since the owners were waiting on an updated “certification” for a new engine they installed this year. But we still got spend a couple of hours on the lake. We brought our own food and drinks, so it was like a picnic on the lake. You can get information on booking tickets with them at http://www.redwitch.com/.

Here are some pictures from the trip

    In winter you should be sitting out in the snow and fishing :) .. Although I wouldn’t consider that as a romantic outing :) .
