Or just a little after to be precise. Even after 20 minutes, the wind started to pick-up and the perfect glass of the lake became rippled. The Ansel Adams Wilderness and a thousand Islands Lake is a nice place to wake up to.

Sailing home past the Wilson Avenue Crib on the way back to Montrose Harbor, north of Chicago. The Wilson crib has long been closed and is literally falling into the lake little by little every year.

Lovely Sunday driving in mixed North West winds and moderate temps was a real pleasure today. It's a short sailing season on Lake Michigan but it sure is pretty

A10-A Warthog underside showing. Didn't see any externally mounted attachments on the planes this year. Remember 3 years ago during the show an aircraft let lose a fuel tank. No damage but perhaps the issuance of an order banning use of the mounts.

No but nice paint job though

The Chicago Air and Water Show had almost as many viewers from the water as they did on land... including this couple who just got their wrist slapped for making a wake though an anchored field of boats

And... Break!
