We woke to intermittent rain showers which kept up all morning. At 10 am we called the yacht tender for a lift in to the dock and headed into town with our handy cart on a mission to do some exploring downtown and bring the weekend groceries back to the boat. We checked out Millenium Park, Grant Park, Michigan Avenue, had lunch at a corner café and walked a mile or so to the grocery store. Our timing was excellent when a downpour occurred while we were shopping and the skies cleared before we left the market. We were back on Blue Heron before 4 pm and Maureen spent the next two hours repackaging the meat and salads and putting groceries away while Gale took care of some boat maintenance.

After grilling the remaining fish from the North Channel, we once again called for a lift in to the dock taking Lucy with us this time. We walked around Grant Park and enjoyed the water fountain with its beautiful night lighting. We were back on the boat by 9:30 pm for a very comfortable night’s sleep.
