International Film Tour - June 26 or 27
The International Film Tour is playing at 2 theaters this year - Arlington,MA or Newport, RI. I got tickets for the Arlington showing and the service charges are ridiculous - $6.50 service fee for each ticket and then they charge you $1.50 if you want to print out the tickets yourself instead of pic...

I may try to make it to Hingham this week if I can get out of work early enough and if I can get my boat onto my car. Got a bit of a problem with arthritis bothering me lately and not completely sure I can lift my boat onto the roof. I guess I could just hook up the trailer...if the lights still wor...

Re: Watertribe Event in Florida
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm surprised you chose to use your Cetus rather than your Seda. Was that because the Cetus has the convenient front hatch or was it for better stability across Tampa bay? Next question is - now that you've had a taste of the event, do you have any desire ...

Re: Warm Booties
I agree with Jordan about the NRS Boundary boots for cold water. They are about 14” high , so you can usually get in the boat without getting water in your boot.

What have we done before regarding a start time? Did we launch after dead low tide so that we know if we get stuck it will not be for long? I don't remember. I think I've missed this event for a few years.
