CRAB All looks quiet on the River except for.... SAILING Regatta out of MIT!  Today and tomorrow.  Lots of boats.  Give them a wide berth. This is the unofficial start of the powerboating season so everyone should keep their eyes open for new powerboaters unfamiliar with the river, complicated by a center arch closure at Anderson Bridge - and also increased number of canoes and kayaks.  Welcome to summer folks.   Contents Construction Updates! An off-river event that is too cool to not mention. 1. Construction Updates!  It is NOT quiet on the construction front. Anderson Bridge.  The center arch is closed through the weekend.  Rowers should use right hand arches, and Powerboaters will likely use the Boston Arch in both directions...but keep your eyes open for boats that aren't sure which arch to use.  All boaters should use caution. Longfellow Bridge constuction is very active.  Rowers should turn before the bridge unless heading to the harbor.  Powerboaters use caution and everyone should try to not wake the folks working on barges.   2. An off-river event that is too cool to not mention. On Monday, a re-enactment of the Battle of Noddle Island will take place.  What is that, you say?  A very cool revolutionary war battle that took place in East Boston (formerly Noddle Island) and the Chelsea River.  Canoe and Kayakers will play the part of British troops that sailed up the Chelsea to cut off the colonists who stole the livstock, raided warehouses and set the hay on fire - from escape into Revere.  10-11AM floatilla will storm the beaches (the Brits never made it to shore) at the Condor Street Urban Wild in East Boston.  Battle re-enactment and bbq to follow.
