I spied a light on under Anderson Bridge today.  The new arch lighting has been installed, and I didn't see it in the pitch black this morning, but as I paddled back, one of the 6 rows of lights was on, making that center arch much easier to see.  Vampire rowers rejoice, there is a light to help guide the way! Hopefully they will all be lit soon and that project will be completed.

  1. Upcoming events!
  2. And now, a request, just for you.....

1. Upcoming events!

Friday, September 23, 2016
5:30PM to 8:30PM, Community Boating's Friday Night Informal Racing.  (between Longfellow and Mass Ave Bridges), Lots of boats, wide range of skills.  Stay back.
Saturday, September 24, 2016
7AM to 8:30AM, Heads of the Kevin II, (Head of the Charles Course, BU Boathouse to about 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park).  Informal yet deadly serious time trial.  Organizers try to be quick and efficient and leave the river to everyone else.  Please, no jumping in without permission from Kevin himself... it screws up the timing if they are not expecting you.
Sunday, September 25, 2016
9:30AM to 2:30PM, Community Boating's Tiller Club's Formal Racing.  (between Longfellow and Mass Ave Bridges), Fewer boats, stronger skills...stay back.









 

2. And now, a request, just for you.....

  • If you have appreciated knowing about bridge construction, closing bridge arches, various events and traffic issues on the river
  • If you have appreciated others knowing about these things even more;
  • If you have appreciated the much improved relationship between rowers, powerboaters, sailors, canoe/kayers and dragon boaters;
  • If you had an incident that you wanted brought to someone's attention, but didn't want to make the call yourself and CRAB did it for you;
  • If you are thankfull that the sand bar was finally dredged;
  • If you are interested in keeping the Charles River a healthy environment for wildlife;
  • If you are interested in keeping the Charles River safe for recreational boating
Then PLEASE, go to https://igg.me/at/CRAB-chart and learn about the CRAB/MIT Sea Grant Program charting project, and make a donation of some kind.  If you value the work that the CRAB volunteers do for you, including the time that they take off of work to attend meetings and build relationships with each other and with State officials, then show your appreciation with a contribution of whatever you can afford.  No amount is too small!
We are fortunate that many organizations and boathouses stepped up to get this project started.  Please help us finish it.
