Boston beckons....a fun start to start your boating!
The first BYC mini-cruise is slated for June 8 & 9 to our own beloved Boston. It's a short hop to Boston Harbor and a great way to get your boat in crusing shape for the summer. We will rendezvous at Charlestown's Constitution Marina. Plans in the works include a trip through the locks and up the scenic Charles River on Commodore Barnet's gorgeous boat, Nun Left. Later the gang will gather for a cocktail get-together before heading off to one of the many excellent restaurants nearby. We will provide lots of info on things to do nearby, restaurants, and even a bit of lore on the Boston Harbor islands.
Our two-step sign up couldn't be easier--Email Jennifer Flanagan (floplace@comcast.net) to let her know you are joining the fun. Then call Sebastian, the assistant dockmaster at Consitution Marina, for your slip and mention you are with the BYC mini-cruise (phone is 617/241-9640 and web site is http://www.constitutionmarina.com)
Labor Day Weekend Mini-Cruise to Crane’s Beach 8/30-9/2:
Anchor behind Crane’s Beach in picturesque Essex Bay. Enjoy one of the Northeast's most spectacular beaches and follow 5.5 miles of trails and boardwalks through a landscape of sand dunes and salt marsh. Take a walk along Crane’s Beach, paddleboard, swim or kayak in Essex Bay, take a dinghy ride in the rivers of Essex Bay, and at low tide venture out to dig for littleneck clams! More details to follow….Please RSVP if interested, or feel free to email me with any questions at hlburke@verizon.net. Happy Boating! –Heather and Scott Burke
