From the Audubon Society of Rhode Island:
Audubon Society of R.I. Cruises Offer Memorable Food for Thought and the Palette
SMITHFIELD/BRISTOL, R.I., JULY 26, 2007 – Relax while sailing in the warm caress of evening bay breezes, sampling light, gourmet fare from around the world. That’s the charted course during five, August cruises offered by the Audubon Society of Rhode Island aboard the Sea Princess out of Wickford. Every Audubon cruise on Narragansett Bay promises fun, excitement and delicious food along with educational and inspirational evenings, each Wednesday during August. You’ll discover the rich summertime tapestry of Narragansett Bay from the comforts of the Sea Princess.
Cool sea breezes and ocean scents will be your companions aboard the Sea Princess, which has a broad stable deck with chairs for comfortable seating. The trips include a detailed scenic tour of local, historical and cultural attractions, such as the west bay lighthouses. Each trip will last two hours and depart at 7 p.m. from Wickford Town Dock, located at the end of Main Street in Wickford. The Sea Princess captain asks that guests wear soft-soled shoes and bring a jacket.
Due to the necessity of advance food purchases, all registrations are final three days before each trip is scheduled to run. Space is limited so please register early. If a particular cruise is full, you are encouraged to sign up for Audubon’s waiting list. The Society will run additional sessions if interest warrants. The fee is $42 per ASRI member and $49 per non-member. Recommended age is 21 and older.
