What to expect

Boats will gather north the Statue of Liberty and south of Ellis Island beginning at 11am on Saturday June 28th and plan to lunch there.  When entering that area be sure to be well aware of the security markers (white) and stay clear of the area. (Well depicted on the chart) Depending on sea conditions, boats will either anchor up or request to raft up to an anchored vessels. Two important points....if you allow your guest to swim please put out a line as the current could be can be very strong.....also if you are approaching a raft up, do NOT approach if swimmers are in the water.

At approximately 1pm, we will depart the statue and head to the Battery. Once there we will head north up the Hudson river. We will then turn around and to return to the Battery, round the corner to South Street Seaport before heading to One 15 Brooklyn Marina. 

We hope all of you will be able to join us at BROOKLYN BRIDGE MARINA

on Saturday for a Cocktail Party and Potluck Dinner (BYOE) at the docks.
