This is Wilmette Harbor on Lake Michigan, about 16 miles north of Chicago. Somehow, 15 Dolphins got together to make this their homeport. Sheridan Shores Yacht Club is in the center of the picture on the left bank. The 'landmark' building is the Bahi Temple. Fleet Captain Kristin Keenan and Historian Jack Farley will help get us the story.

Checking in first is Ted Prohov and Wally Barry with their Yankee #190 Wada Boat.

We got some pictures from Ted taken during Wilmette's annual Race Weekend - July 28-29, 2007. This is a picture of George Fitzpatrick's Delphinus, sail # 6195 and Ron and Larry Falbe's Celerity, sail # 6004. Delphinus is an O'Day built boat. Celerity is Yankee hull #101, She was Fleet Historian Jack Farley's boat for nearly 38 years.
