I enjoy sailing wherever I can. For the last four years I have had the pleasure of being a part time crew member of the Red Witch = a two masted schooner based in Burnham Harbor, Chicago, IL, on Lake Michigan. We take folks to out on Lake Michigan - set sail and enjoy the view. During the sail we often educate the folks on board (40 or so) on the principles of sailing and talk about the history of sailing on the Great Lakes. It is a lot of fun.
My sailing buddy is in the process of building his own 17 foot boat and it looks like we might be able to get it into the water late in the coming season. He is rigging it with two lug sails... an unusual rig but it should be fun.
