If you missed the last post you might not know that we purchased a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) to use as a runabout on the river. Since Cygnet is such a big yacht we find that there are times we'd like to go out on the water but just don't want to deal with the hassle of taking our home away from its home. So we found a BRIS brand RIB on ebay and purchased a few add-ons and an outboard motor to putt around the river whenever we want. We love it and it has been a great addition to the fleet (now up to 2)! Happy times aboard Chicago Ribber. Shortly after we had Chicago Ribber we started exploring a bit. We took a trip to Whole Foods and REI for some shopping, we've gone for Saturday brunch and fireworks, and down to Chinatown to watch movies in the park. One night we invited a couple friends to ride along with us to Island Party Hut. It's a fun place along the Chicago Riverwalk that has drinks, food, picnic tables, lounge chairs, live music, bags, jenga, great
Life aboard a boat in Chicago.
