Recently employees at UpShift embarked on an outing to sail the high seas, well, more like a pontoon cruise along the Chicago River. The cruise had everything one looks for in a maritime adventure: salty old men at the dock, beer and of course, inflatable pirate swords. Captain Rich lead the SS UpShift and the hearty crew down the South Branch of the Chicago River, out to Navy Pier, and back past Goose Island to the SS UpShift’s native port.
