"We don't always get this kind of glorious weather, it has snowed on us before – so it's a little harder to do when the weather is nice," said Teresa Coronado with the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center. "We know we are going to have a couple of good days still, but we also know it's going to turn at any time."

There is always next year to look forward to. The boats will be back in the water for the spring "Big Boat Day," which usually takes place in early May.
