Chicago air show trip.

[Hydro Therapy]

I'm thinking of making a trip to the chicago air show. I will be leaving Michigan city. I have made this trip before but its been awhile. On past trips I've had people get sick and I needed to get them to shore. where is the best place to get people ashore or pick someone up if I need to? The other question is if I decide overnite I've heard people say to anchor in the playpen. Is this a good idea? I don't think I'll be able to get a slip at this point. Any other comments our suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

The new harbor is the 31st St Harbor. A nice new harbor, built around a very very bad area.

I am planning on heading over as well from New Buffalo on either Friday night or Saturday morning. The weather forecast isn't looking great for Friday on the lake, I am hoping that Saturday calms down enough to enjoy the day. I have a slip in Burnham.

IMHO, the Dusable Harbor is the best. Walking distance to Navy Pier and the museum campus.. Very clean bathrooms, good stuff....

So what did you end up doing?

Ended up not going. Next year I'll plan earlier. Still curious where to drop someone off in chicago? Years ago I believe I dropped a couple off at grant park after one of them became ill. They took the train back. Another time I dropped someone off down river not sure where but security wasn't happy with me ;-(
