Editor’s Note:

By Lt.Rita Parks

Well we just returned from a wonderful

week at the 1000 Islands. The Antique Boat show

was awesome. If you haven’t been to Clayton, NY

to the Antique Boat Museum you are really missing

out on seeing some of the most gorgeous antique

boats. Our motel overlooked the St. Lawrence

River and we enjoyed our mornings and evenings

just sitting on the Adirondack chairs and gazing at

the River. One of my very favorite summer

vacation spots.

We were unable to attend the RPS

Rendezvous but heard there was an excellent

turnout. Even had some Florida residents in

attendance, wish we could have made it.

Our General meetings will resume in

September. September 5th

is our meeting at GYC.

Plan to attend and catch up on the upcoming

fall/winter activities.

Enjoy the rest of this wonderful summer!

BOATING IS FUN…

WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW!

RAMBLIN’S ROUND THE RIVER

By: Lt. Kevin G. Parks, AP (Star Reporter)

Well Gentle Readers; here we are deep in late summer with the Labor Day Weekend upon us; things

are hopping on the river after such a great season. The waterfront bars are starting to slow down; O’lies has

stopped lunches for the season and Schooner’s Riverside Pub will be closing for the season Sunday 9

September. It seems as though they just opened. Pelican’s Nest is still having lunches as well as dinners and

of course will be having their famous Halloween Party. The view of the river from these places has always

been dominated by the Hojack Swing Bridge. Well they have finally put up the scaffolding to begin the

asbestos removal and demolition of the engine house and soon will be dismantling the iron. By spring the

coffer dam should be installed and the massive footer removed; if they maintain schedule and of course

weather permitting.

Now there is a new bar/restaurant in the old Driftwood on River Street. They call it Steel River,

making references to the railroad and of course our river. The place is friendly and quite remodeled and far

removed from the old worn Driftwood, a welcome addition to our river.

The dredging of the river is proceeding slowly as a new company; run mostly by local guys is

plotting along. Their equipment is a little lighter than that used in the past but they seem to be working pretty

regular and getting the job done.

Soon the Harbortown Belle will be conducting fall river cruises up our gorgeous gorge.

Well as wonderful as this season is and as endless as it seems, it is hard to believe that Football

season starts in another week. Now I have heard that Murph’s Irondequoit Pub will now be open on

Sundays for the Football Season as he has the “Sports Package”. So for those rainy Sunday’s this will be a

good place to take shelter. In fact I think I will meander down there for a nice cool pint right now. So until

the next time…....Raise ‘em Up!

“Believe me, my young friend,” said the water rat solemely, “there is nothing…absolutely nothing…half so much worth

doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing…about in boats…or with boats. In or out of ‘em, it doesn’t matter.

Nothing seems really to matter, that’s the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don’t; whether you arrive at your

destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you’re always busy,and you never do

anything in particular; and when you have done it there is always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you’d

much better not. Look here! If you’ve really nothing else on hand this morning, supposing we drop down the river together, and

have a long day of it?” from: The Wind and The Willows

A Little Bit of Trivia…………….

Before the mast

Literally, the position of the crew whose living quarters on board were in the forecastle (the section of a ship forward of the foremast). The term is also used more generally to describe seamen as compared with officers,

in phrases such as "he sailed before the mast."
