The 2017 Cuttyhunk Row
Thanks to all the rowers that participated in the Cuttyhunk Row on Saturday. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Together we raised almost $1500 towards boat maintenance and the Lloyd Center for the Environment.
What else can I say, it was a fantastic day with a great group of people!
A SPECIAL thank you to the Cuttyhunk Row Committee; Brandon, Lee-Ann, Greg and Bridget for all the grueling work they put in to make this event happen. THANK YOU!!!
Modern Nantucket Sleigh Ride
We spotted and harpooned a TowBoatUS, which took us on a fun and relaxing 'Nantucket Sleigh Ride' to the mouth of the Slocum. Just like back in the 1850's.
