I moor my boat at Burnham Harbor in Chicago and was wondering when Chicago will have an in-water boat show. This is desperately needed. Chicago hasn’t had one for two decades. An in-water boat show would fare much better than the one staged indoors in McCormick Place during the freezing month of January. An in-water boat show, in any one of the local harbors, would bring a lot of excitement and knowledge to the area boaters. Now that Gateway Marina south of Navy Pier is under construction, could we begin to think about the feasibility of hosting a boat show right in the heart of Chicago? I believe it will be spectacular, exciting and successful.
