Columbus Day, Monday October 8, 2018, was the date when 6 crew gathered to tuck the girl beneath the crain of the club ship and unstep the mast, another in a series. The unstepping process took 30-minutes from dock departure to dock return; not a record, but well within acceptable parameters. 15+ minutes later, at 5:50 PM CDT, we pushed off for the River Trip, entering the lock, a Corp of Engineers separation between the lake and the river, @ 6:20 and resumed the leg to Chicago Yacht Works @ 6:40, into fading light.
It was dark by 7 PM, but the lights of The Loop illuminated...until @ 1.5 miles from the yard, when we entered full darkness on the edge of town [note to self: a good name for a song]. There was no traffic, either way, on the river (go figure) and we docked @ 7:20 PM. She was buttoned up and we were out the front gate on foot by 7:30; a relieved and uncluttered sleep awaited. The 'Winter List' beckons, but will wait until the 'House List' is attended to.
The YouTube attached should tell the story, if it's accessible: https://youtu.be/RwlRk1S86_Q
