Awesome!!!
After many lazy afternoons last fall, watching the sail boats from my highrise, I decided to sign up. It was such a great experience that I signed up for unlimited lessons with Captain Jim and Third Coast Cruising this summer! With REAL sailboats, Chicago-ans with varying level of experience, and a great crew, definately worth the investment!
