INTERESTED IN COMING ALONG ON A VOYAGE IN 2011?
Our typical voyage is a casual afternoon trip of a few hours, devoted to
developing ship handling skills, conducting archeology by experimentation, scouting
locations for future filming or other activities, and/or just enjoying the the water, sun, surroundings, wildlife, etc. while getting
some good exercise. Depending on weather and other conditions we may go out on
the Patuxent and Chesapeake (or on the lower Potomac
- depending where we are docked), or explore some of the nearer and more
sheltered estuaries in the area. If you would like to take part in a voyage, we
welcome you to come along as a guest, space and circumstances permitting.
Contact us to make arrangements and get the required information. There
is no charge -- however, donations are most
welcome, and those guests physically able to do so are expected to help in
rowing and the general operation of the ship as needed.
