...I will have to admit that I totally missed the Mackinaw. I had the correct location but just never zoomed in close enough.
It's easy to forget what powerful tools we have at our fingertips. I used the measuring tool to measure the Mackinaw, just to make sure I had the right boat, and I came up with 241 feet. The article in the Sun-Times said it was 240 feet long, close enough for my purposes. It occurred to me how easy it would be to plan a heist, along the line of the original Italian Job movie, and develop escape routes with pre-planned obstacles and using drones to escape with the loot. The satellite views will inspire many a criminal, I'm sure.

...my first thought is where are the towers?
Are you asking about the location of Marina City towers? If so, go back and look at my "Fun with fotos" post from a couple of weeks ago. It's tough to get a good image, even on a clear day (none yet), because I'm looking at the north side of the buildings that are never in direct sunlight and those towers blend into the background of the other buildings. You can see them though, maybe even with the naked eye. Anyhow, I've been fiddling a lot with time-lapse stuff and here's an animation from yesterday, beginning at 5:58am. More fun with fotos!
