Welcome Wendy! I noticed that you just joined in May. Sounds like you and your family will have fun boating together. If it is a new boat and this is your first boating experience with it, then a Saturday morning gets you away from the worry of darkness if The Captain is busy during the work week. It also will offer you a nice chance to get off at Center Harbor where the Red Hill Dairy is just across the street so you can have a fun lunch. Or you could pack a picnic and spread a blanket at the Band Stand and eat there. Remember Bike Week and mosquitos though. I wish you only very happy experiences with the family and the boat
