Thursday, 7/15: Set sail with AAUW Kingston’s charter cruise!

Come join us for an evening cruise on the beautiful Hudson River on Thursday, July 15!

AAUW Kingston will be hosting a charter cruise aboard the Solaris, the solar-powered ship
operated by the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM), 50 Rondout Landing, Kingston, NY 12401.

We’ll set sail from the Rondout at 6:15 PM, cruise for 2 hours, and return at 8:15 PM.

The boat, which accommodates 16 passengers, is filling up fast, so please call or email
Susan Holland (845-389-3961, susan-holland@usa.net) as soon as possible if you want to
come along. Then, bring a check made out to AAUW Kingston with you on Thursday:

Cost: $40 (AAUW members)
$45 (non-members)

What to wear
The tour boat Solaris has a roof, but dress for the weather.
All boat tours are rain or shine.
It can often be up to 10 degrees cooler out on the water,
so HRMM recommends a light jacket or sweater on cooler days.

Arrival:
Plan to arrive early! Parking is often very limited in the Rondout,
so make sure you leave enough time to find parking (for more info,
see: http://www.hrmm.org/parking).

The boat will leave promptly at 6:15 PM, so leave enough time to use the
restroom beforehand. (The Solaris has a composting toilet for emergencies,
but HRMM recommends that everyone use the museum restroom before boarding.)

We will all meet in the big gazebo in the museum yard (through the gates near
the museum entrance). Please be in the gazebo by 6 PM sharp!

What to bring:
– water (and/or optionally other drinks – including alcohol, though HRMM recommends
limiting the quantity consumed on the boat! 😉
– snack (keep it simple! – bring easy finger foods and think “carry in, carry out”)
– camera

What not to bring:
– coolers
– luggage
– pets
– strollers
– very large bags

We’re looking forward to cruising with you on Thursday – see you then!…Susan H.
