Hey folks, we don't know what is happening unless you tell us. And while we try to catch on as quickly as possible, we really need you to send information on your events to us. Don't hold back, it is better to overshare on this one. Also, if you see something, like a barge sitting in the river that CRAB has not mentioned, or changes in a construction project that impacts the traffic pattern - please send us an email at CharlesRiverAllianceofBoaters@gm ail.com |

| Construction Updates Riverside dock work is underway. Use caution in that area and expect to encounter long lines of boats waiting to dock on the significantly shortened dock. Seriously, its like exit 17 on the Pike. Steer clear! Northeastern's dock work has begun or is starting soon. A barge is involved. Give'em room! Anderson Bridge is now open in the shore arches, and the center arch is closed. While this makes the traffic pattern intuitive for the rowers, the Powerboaters are in a bit of a quandry. They are more likley to use the Boston arch in both directions, but the powerboaters using the public ramp are wild cards and who knows which arch they will opt for. Use caution and keep your eyes open. Longfellow Bridge is ongoing. Avoid if at all possible, use the marked channel if not. |

Red Bull High Stakes Regatta. 250m from Riverside Docks toward Magazine Beach, round a buoy and back. This is definitely a spectator event if only for the sheer lunacy of a 250m sprint, stake turn and dash back. For the sailors canoe/kayakers and powerboaters reading this, this will be something to see, for sure.
