The Milford Recreation Department announces that we will again be offering our popular sailing excursion with SoundWater Sails this weekend. On Friday, August 16, 2019, the 80 foot Schooner Sound Waters will take you on an exciting journey on Long Island Sound. Children, parents & friends will have tons of fun working together to raise sails, tie knots, make nautical crafts, haul in the trawl net, examine live creatures, and feel the thrill of steering a 3-masted vessel powered only by the Wind!
The ship departs at 10:00am, and participants should arrive at the Fowler Boat ramp by 9:30am to check in. The ship will return at approximately 12:30pm. The cost is $40.00 (per person) for Milford Residents and $45.00 (per person) for non-residents. Registration may be done online at www.milfordrecreation.com or in person at The Milford Recreation Department. The excursion is open to both children and adults. All children 6 years and older are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. The sail is rain or shine (unless deemed dangerous).
Participants are reminded to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Please also protect yourself from the sun (sunblock, hat, sun glassess, etc.).
