SUMMARY:Practical Navigator Captain's Course
DESCRIPTION:When: January 12 to January 16\, 2026\, from 8:00 to 5:00 each day\, with a break for lunch\nLocation: Clearwater’s office in Beacon\, NY\nCost: $650  \nWe’re excited to be collaborating with Practical Navigator to offer a 5-day captain’s course in the Hudson Valley this winter for the second year in a row! Kate Enright of Practical Navigator will be teaching the course and will be creating a custom version that caters to sailors and the class audience. Take your sailing to the next level and explore maritime careers as a captain carrying passengers!  We are offering an unbeatable price for an in-person course. \nThe course will prepare you to test for and submit an application to the USCG for an “Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels” (OUPV) license\, commonly known as the “6-pack”\, which allows you to operate vessels with up to six paying passengers\, or a 100 Ton masters license\, dependent your goals. If you want to carry passengers onboard your boat for paid activities—fishing trips\, scenic tours\, diving adventures\, or transportation—you’ll need a captain’s license. \nThe prerequisites include interest\, commitment\, and ability to study online ahead of the class time. Furthermore\, interested students should have the necessary sea time to submit their application within one year from the completion of the course. For an OUPV\, that is 360 Days of sea-time\, with 90 (of the 360) days of sea-time within the last three years. All necessary books and study materials will be provided on loan.  \nA perk of taking a Practical Navigator course is that you get 2 years of free MMSEAS PRO access – they are experts at license applications and can give you 1:1 counseling on the application. This can support students with the licensing process and ensure follow-through and a license in hand! \nThis course can provide a boost to people who have long hoped to pursue a Captain’s license but have been stumped by self-studying. Once completed you can also test through Practical Navigator’s online proctoring\, rather than traveling to a Regional Exam Center.  There are options to continue later in a hybrid format at your own pace for people who would appreciate the attention given to learning material\, then more time for self-study before taking an exam.  \nWe are looking for a minimum sign-up of 6 participants\, maximum 10.  If we don’t make the minimum sign-up in time\, the course will be canceled with a 100% refund for anyone who had signed up. \nFor questions: kate@practicalnavigator.org. \nRequirements for a Captain’s License (OUPV)  \n\n 18 Years of age \n360 Days of sea-time\n90 (of the 360) days of sea-time within the last three years\n•Ability to pass a physical and drug test \n• Ability to acquire a valid CPR/First-Aid certification\n\n  \nAbout Practical Navigator: Practical Navigator Training is designed to present useful navigation topics for professional and recreational mariners in a no-nonsense and accessible way. We are a veteran-owned business started by Captain Chris Nolan\, a former USCG cutterman.  \nAbout Kate: Captain Kate Enright is a maritime educator and tall ship sailor. She has worked all over the world on research boats\, day sailing charters\, and educational programs\, but has spent much of her career working for the Sea Education Association (SEA)\, on the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater\, and currently sails as a Captain in Casco Bay\, Maine. Kate holds a USCG 200 Ton NC Master/Auxiliary Sail\, 200 Ton Ocean Mate/Auxiliary Sail license. She received her first license in 2017 through a combination of Practical Navigator classes and testing in Boston.

SUMMARY:Peoples' Meeting: Nuclear Energy is not Green or Clean
DESCRIPTION:Join Onondaga Nation community members\, Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation\, Allies of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation\, Food & Water Watch\, Alliance for a Green Economy\, Nuclear Information and Resource Service\, Citizen Action of New York\, Frack Action\, Syracuse Peace Council\, NY Renews\, and more for a peoples’ meeting on nuclear energy\, the threats it creates\, and the carbon emissions crisis that impacts all our lives. Register to attend. Register to attend. \nWhat: Let’s help the New York State Governor get a clue outside her secret\, exclusionary\, pro-nuclear “2025 Advanced Nuclear NY Summit“: Stop wasting time\, money\, and lives! Climate Justice Now! This event will be an opportunity for everyone to share their voice. If you would like to speak for up to 3 minutes at this event\, you can let us know in the RSVP form. Organizers can help you with preparing talking points in advance.\n\n\nSeptember 30th is also Orange Shirt Day\, a day that commemorates and honors the Indigenous victims and survivors of “residential schools”. Please wear orange to show solidarity with survivors and their families. \n\nWhy: Nuclear energy is a waste of time and money. Mining and nuclear reactors continue to produce toxic waste that poisons land\, water\, air\, and kills and disables people. Instead of nuclear or any other false climate or energy solutions\, we want RENEWABLE energy like solar\, wind and conservation and storage technologies- all of which are faster to build\, cheaper\, and safer than nuclear- which will get New York State and our communities to NY’s Climate Justice Law’s energy and emissions mandates.\n\nRegister to attend.\nDecades of experience demonstrate that nuclear energy is too toxic\, too dangerous\, too expensive\, and too slow to build to be a climate solution. Additionally\, the entire nuclear “cycle” perpetuates environmental injustice. Nuclear power generation is part of a uranium fuel chain which disproportionately impacts Indigenous communities. The process creates highly toxic radioactive waste\, some of which is transported through Onondaga Nation land and directly through the city of Syracuse\, in violation of treaty agreements between the US and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. All nuclear reactors (old and new) must also store waste on-site\, and there is no long-term plan for storing the waste and no safe way to transport it. \nThe organizing groups encourage masking and/or social distancing due to ongoing high levels of COVID-19 among our communities in various regions. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water\, snacks\, and sunscreen! Bathrooms and water are available across the street at Salt City Market.\n\nRain or shine – we will meet outside the Marriott Syracuse Downtown if the weather is good\, or at the Onondaga County Central Library on Salina Street if the weather is poor.\n\nRegister to attend.\n\nIf you need a ride to this event\, you can check this website to see if any cars are departing from your area. Or if you are driving and would like to offer a ride\, you can add a carpool: https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/vograu\n\nAdditional cosponsors of this event include: Hudson River Sloop Clearwater\, Seneca Lake Guardian\, Zero Waste Ithaca\, Network for a Sustainable Tomorrow\, Three Mile Productions\, Indivisible YorktownNY\, Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition\, and more. \n\n

The Boyle is named for Riverkeeper founder\, Robert H. Boyle (1928-2017)\, an investigative journalist\, avid outdoorsman\, environmental activist\, and author. \nClearwater\nLaunched in 1969\, the sloop Clearwater is recognized as America’s Environmental Flagship. Over its nearly 60 years on the Hudson River over half a million students\, families\, advocates\, and community members have ventured aboard the Clearwater to experience the river first-hand\, learning about and taking action to protect the Hudson River. \nHaendel\nBuilt in 1965\, Haendel was originally a survey boat for the US Army Corp of Engineers. She has lived many lives (including being owned by the state of VT!) and now works as a ferry and sightseeing boat connecting the river communities of Hudson\, Athens\, Catskill and Coxsackie.

SUMMARY:Speaker Sail aboard the Clearwater - The Rights of Nature: Reimagining Our Relationship with the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Join environmental advocate\, author\, and founder of the Center of Earth Ethics\, Karenna Gore to explore a growing paradigm shift in how we view the natural world. The idea behind the Rights of Nature is simple but powerful: instead of treating nature only as property\, we recognize natural entities—like rivers\, forests\, and mountains—as being alive\, having agency\, and bearing rights.. In this talk\, Karenna will speak to the history of this novel legal strategy\, and explore what it could mean for the future of environmental protection.

SUMMARY:May Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse featuring Jay Unger and Molly Mason
DESCRIPTION:Join the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus on Saturday\, May 17 for their May Coffeehouse\, monthly gatherings featuring performances by folk musicians. Before the featured performance\, audience members are invited to join the chorus in song. May’s featured musical act is Jay Unger and Molly Mason. Doors open at 6:30pm\, followed by the Sing-a-Long/Teachabout at 6:45pm\, followed by the featured performance at 7:30pm. \nAbout Jay Unger and Molly Mason\nJay Ungar & Molly Mason are musicians of enormous talent who draw their repertoire and inspiration from a wide range of American musical styles — 19th-century classics\, lively Appalachian\, Cajun\, and Celtic fiddle tunes\, and favorites from the golden age of country and swing — along with their own songs\, fiddle tunes\, and orchestral compositions. Jay and Molly achieved international acclaim when their performance of Jay’s composition\, Ashokan Farewell\, became the musical hallmark of Ken Burns’ The Civil War on PBS. The soundtrack won a Grammy\, and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. The piece was originally inspired by Jay & Molly’s Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York’s Catskill Mountains\, which are still going strong today. \nIn recent years\, Jay and Molly have reached an ever-widening audience through their appearances on Great Performances\, A Prairie Home Companion\, their own public radio specials\, and through their work on film soundtracks such as Brother’s Keeper\, Legends of the Fall\, and a host of Ken Burns’ PBS documentaries. They’ve had the honor of performing at the White House for two sitting Presidents and continue to tour extensively\, delighting audiences across the country. \n  \nTICKETS:\nReserved Tickets: $30 – Reserve tickets in advance using the ticket form. Reserved tickets will be set aside for you and paid for at the door by check\, cash\, or credit card.
