When we last left our Red Witch champagne pirates at the helm, we were ensconsed in dramatic fog somewhere between Milwaukee and Chicago on Lake Michigan. (Talk about hidden gems?!) We made it back to our southside harbor in time to don our champagne pirate attire in the name of a cause. We set out to Reverse the Curse! The Cubs were battling the Pirates as well as their age old demons.
We welcomed sports fans and social media aboard and kept our own lucky streak flowing. Michigan’s foggy mood was lifted just in time for fireworks premiere. We sailed into our pristine spot and toasted with our top two flagship cocktails, Sparrow Mojito and Red Witch Royale. In our humble opinion, there’s nothing like fireworks from the water and you can’t beat our POV. Many new friends and profile pics were made that night! Fireworks are in full swing for the season Wednesdays and Saturdays through Labor Day. Come out and chillax with Shenanigan, Hooligan and our seasoned Team Charming. I come from a Land of Lakes and mosquitoes; I especially appreciate that Chicago’s controlled that problem so summer’s much better when you step outside. It doesn’t even involve a net!
Do I walk around Chi-town in pirate attire you ask? Ahh, sometimes. Other times I work from our “Empire Office” and then get whisked away to go yachting on our shiny new Beneteau, Pianissimo a/k/a Pino. I had scheduled time to share travel stories with a friend when she saw that look on my face…”So you want to go sailing?!” She was fully ready to accept my invitation to a sleek skyline sail and summer showed up. That night was our first fog free adventure; we paired it with a playful French table red and unassuming pink pearls. Not bad at all for a school night! We’ll talk more on that gourmet soiree menu and Hawaii adventure next time! In the meantime, here comes that look in my eye: “So when do we sail next?” I’m your VIP pass so you can always ask for a TraveLin promo price. Word on the lake is that we whale watch on Fridays…
Huzzah!
