And viewing the weekend sailboat races never fails to occupy a day out with entertainment and excitement. All of these things make for sailing trips Chicago excursions that won’t be found anywhere else.
Swimming
Whether in open waters far out from the city, or 200 yards off shore in the playpen, swimming in Chicago on a hot day is a great option during a sailing trip.
Fireworks
Navy Pier Fireworks Shows are every Wednesday and Saturday night fromMemorial Day through Labor Day.
Full Moon Rises over Lake Michigan
Full moon rises, (and nearly full moon rises) can be spectacular in Chicago since there is 90 miles of lake on the horizon where the moon comes up. Each Full moon rise is different depending on the time the sun sets, and the cloud cover on the horizon.
Sunsets
Sailing as the sun sets behind the skyline and the city lights come up, makes for a great start to your night sail.
