Fun Is Good -- Opt In!

You wouldn't want to miss the most fun events, would you? Of course not!

What luck! There is still room for Johnny (and Janie) Come-Latelys at the events described below. No need to register; just show up (and pay), and enjoy yourself!

WEDNESDAY

Sailing
1:00 - 4:00 PM. Meet at the waterfront. $50

What better way to spend a summer afternoon than out on the glittering water with a view of New York City? Experience the fun, freedom, exhilaration, and enjoyment of sailing in ~35'-38' sailboats. Maritime sailing coaches will take you out on the water for a pleasure sail and some introductory sailing instruction. (Proceeds will benefit similar waterfront activities for Bronx youth.)

Kayaking
1:30 - 4:00 PM. Meet at the waterfront. $35

Spash around near the shore and explore the diverse shoreline of western Long Island Sound and the East River. All levels welcome! You will be amazed at how quickly beginners progress through the three phases from initial hesitation to relaxed/comfortable enjoyment to "let's flip 'em!" Cost includes all equipment, an instructor and a safety boat. (Proceeds will benefit similar waterfront activities for Bronx youth.)

**NEW** Torchlight Tour
10:00 - 10:30 PM. Meet at the Fort Schuyler flagpole. FREE!

We’ve added one more very special and exclusive event. Our resident expert will lead a tour by torchlight of Fort Schuyler’s most historic and secretive places, including the dungeon and rooftop! Commander John Yesko brings to life the Fort’s fascinating history, from its Civil War beginnings to the present day. Limited to first 30 people.

THURSDAY

SUNSET CRUISE
7:30 - 11:30 PM. Meet at the College Pier. $40

Join our private party aboard the Skyline Princess! Operated by Skyline Cruises, this 120-foot Tri-Level luxury motor yacht will take us around the island of Manhattan. We will enjoy breathtaking sights of New York City as the summer sun sets over the glittering waters of the Long Island Sound and East River. Don’t forget your camera for those close-ups of the Statue of Liberty! This promises to be an unforgettable New York cruise experience. Entertainment, full open bar, and snacks are included.
