Sailing 101: From Chicago to Mackinac
Marcus Leshock learns about sailing on a new Lake Michigan yacht
Jason Veatch isn't new to sailing. He became interested through some family friends, and has since introduced his father to life on the sea. But, he will be racing in his first ever Chicago Yacht Club to Mackinac Island race on July 24.
Although Veatch won't be skippering his own yacht to the Michigan island, the race adds another milestone to Veatch's life. Veatch just purchased his very first sailboat with his father which he keeps in Lake Michigan during the summer months.
