Sail with Clearwater on our very first sail of the 2010 sailing season as we join with Beczak Environmental Education Center, Greenbrook Sanctuary, and the historic Kearney House for a Ship to Shore Shad Bake on Saturday, May 1st, 2010 from 10:00 to 3:30.

The cost of this event is $55/adult, $40/Clearwater members, and $20/children 12 years of age and younger. To ensure your spot, please make your reservation by calling 845-265-8080, ext 7107, by April 30th.

The day begins in Yonkers at Beczak with an hour of river education and fish identification, followed by a two-hour sail aboard sloop Clearwater. The sloop will arrive at the Alpine Boat Basin in time for passengers to attend the historic Kearney House’s Shad Bake. Note that, due to the recent ban on shad fishing, shad will not be served, although other fish will be available for sampling, and other foods will be available for purchase. The day ends with passengers again boarding the sloop and being returned to Yonkers.

Join us for this rare and exciting opportunity to experience both shores of the river while celebrating a quintessential Hudson River event: The migration of the American Shad!

The Beczak Environmental Education Center is located at 35 Alexander Street in Yonkers, NY, one block north of the Yonkers train station.
