Leaving the Dock

Captain Don takes us out of the slip and into the Chicago River while Joan M and Lily smile with great anticipation.

When my friend Don mentioned he had a Groupon for an electric boat ride, I thought he was talking about a submarine.  Instead, he rented a two hour slot from the Chicago Electric Boat Company at Marina City.  With other friends and a supply of food and beverages we took a tour of the Chicago River North and South branches.
