We had a fantastic day on the Tall Ship Windy at Chicago’s 2022 Air & Water Show. So much fun. Got some great pictures with the planes buzzing all around. Grandkids had a blast. The crew were great and even extended our cruise because the show was delayed until the weather cleared up. We didn’t even get wet because they steered Windy away from the rain while we waited for the show to begin. Thanks for a great memory

The captain and crew are just lovely. I’d sail anywhere with them. The captain stayed out longer than planned so we could See the entire air and water show. This is a must do in Chicago!
