How would you like to cruise on a Great Lakes freighter? See Lake Michigan or another Great Lake from the bridge of a 1000 foot freighter? The opportunity is out there. Boat Nerd is making available the chance through non-profit raffles. See their trips page.
Donnybrook is laid up at Crowley's Yacht Yard Lakeside at 95th Street and the Calumet River in Chicago. See where freighters are laid up on Boat Nerd's layups page.
You can see which ships have passed various points on the lakes at their Vessel Passage page.
www.boatnerd.com is a fun page to explore if you're interested in Great Lakes and Seaway Shipping!
The purpose of this blog is to share the Sailboat Donnybrook and crew's Lake Michigan sailing, cruising, and racing experience. Donnybrook is a 1990 Catalina 34 that sails out of Belmont Harbor in Chicago. The highlight of Donnybrook's sailing season is a 2 week Lake Michigan/Great Lakes cruise which begins with the Chicago Mackinac race. Anything sailing, cruising, or Catalina 34 related will be featured. From the Captain and Crew of Donnybrook, enjoy!
