2010 Chicago Skyline Cruise Season….it’s right around the corner. Spring is here and the grass is turning green once again. What a beautiful site. We are looking forward to another fun filled Chicago Skyline Cruise season.
We hope that all of you enjoyed your Winter and all of the Holidays that have now past. To us, it seems that those Holidays just come so fast after each Season. We just get our boats into their Winter storage spots and there we are, planning the Thanksgiving Dinner and wrapping presents with fancy wrapping paper and glittering bows for our loved ones.
Short story for the dog lovers: We don’t mind winter ourselves; we love to snow ski and our dog, “Chrissy” loves the snow very much too. She is a Chow Chow dog, with lots of fur. She loves to dig holes in the back yard snow and just sit right there in the hole. She sits there and smiles, and really, she does smile. We find that most pleasures in life are really very simple pleasures; watching our Chrissy dig those holes in the snow, and look at us with her smiling face is very pleasurable to us, we get a big kick out of that. Obviously we love our dog!! And so do our customers by the way. During the Summers, when running our Chicago Skyline Cruises, many of our customers do get to meet Chrissy simply because; in the Summer Chrissy lives with us on the boat we have docked right next door to Valara VI. She sits on top of our other boat, called the Blue Heaven and she smiles at our customers boarding our Charter yacht Valara VI all the time. She is a very happy & friendly dog; she loves receiving the greetings and pets from our customers. We’ve owned Chrissy all of her life, she is 7 years old, she was born on Christmas Day 2002. Her formal name is “Christmas” but we call her Chrissy for short. The other dog we have, we won’t talk much about her but in short, “Gypsy” – properly named, a German Hunt Terrier dog was found in the boat yard a couple of years ago; she had obviously been homeless and fending for herself for a very long time. We think she endured a lot of abuse in her life, by someone. She was quite aggressive and growled showing her teeth a lot when we first brought her home. I can tell you this; no one else would have wanted this dog. Over the couple of years we have owned Gypsy, she has calmed down quite a bit but for some reason, when around strangers, she still does not trust strangers very well as of yet. She barks at strangers a lot. This is very annoying when trying to walk her because we have to try and stear clear of strangers, but we deal with it. Gypsy has never bit anyone but she sure knows how to make people think that she will. Things take time with abused animals, we are working on her and each year she does get better. So – we just call her our little guard dog.
So let’s talk about you. What are you planning for this Spring, Summer and Fall?
Chicago Skyline Cruises for Fine Family Gatherings: In the Spring, Summer and Fall, special occasions are being planned. Anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, family and class reunions, wedding rehearsal dinners, the occasions being planned are endless.

Today, thousands of people enjoy their special occasions in the privacy of a Chicago cruise on the scenic waters of Lake Michigan aboard the distinctive yacht Valara.
