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!

Spring Return Sail to Belmont
Perfect. 25 knot northeast winds and 50 degrees seems the norm. Today is an exception with east-southeast winds in the low teens. Chicago's high was >90 today. It's in the 60s on Lake Michigan.
The NATO summit is this weekend. We stayed at least 3 miles from shore to avoid any fed intervention. It's been quiet except for the pair of F-18s circling.
My buddy Danny P is driving in this picture. It's a damn fine day on the water.
