When I first met my husband in July 1978 we spent several days, and nights during those initial months sailing on Lake Michigan. My husband's Uncle Earl owned a sailboat which he docked at Burnham Harbor. Each year when boating season began, we would help Earl clean, and open his sail boat for the summer sailing season on the Lake. 

I have fond memories sailing on Lake Michigan for many years, with family and friends. We have captured wonderful images of the Chicago Skyline while out sailing on Lake Michigan. We have frequently enjoyed viewing the Fourth of July Fireworks, and the Chicago Air and Water Show from the comfort of the bow of the sail boat.

Unfortunately 2020 has had to endure many annual festivities being cancelled due to Covid-19. I have shared a number of my images I have captured during the years past to my Instagram account, @photographybymaureen to reminisce these festivities.

I will attach a few of my favorite images here as well. Chicago Air & Water Show 2014_Aug162014_1181-1 Chicago Air & Water Show 2014_Aug162014_1226-1
