2012 Summer Cruise

 

EDGARTOWN, MA

 

Sunday July 8th ending on Saturday July 21st 2012

This will accommodate those wishing to attend the New London Tall Ship Festival.

The outbound destination will be Edgartown - we're planning to stay there for three nights. Other ports of call are as follows: Stonington, Block Island, Cuttyhunk, Edgartown, New Bedford, Newport / Jamestown, Watch Hill and Mystic Seaport

The Tall Ship Festival is currently scheduled for July 6-9 but fleet members should be aware that New London officials are still working out details - things may change. For those wishing to attend, accommodations will be critical! Officials expect 300,000 visitors and if only 1% show up by boat, there will be about 1500 boats looking for a place to stay.

New London city moorings are probably the best place but they are not accepting reservation at this time - and they don't have a firm date when they will start.

Two marinas that are at least establishing a wait list at this time are Thamesport Marina (1 860 437-7022) and Crockers Boatyard (1 860 443-6304)

Of course, there are many other possibilities but fleet members should not wait to reserve accommodations if they plan to attend this event by boat.

The Cruise Committee:

  •  Ed & Kathy Brown - Chair

  •  John & Mary Beth Amante

  •  Joe Abbagnaro & Bernie Brugman

 

 Registration for the cruise is now open, please register if you intend to participate.
