Thanks, and smooth sailing! 

The SB Maritime Museum and Captain Ed Venable are offering Graduates several opportunities throughout the summer and fall to cruise along the SB coast aboard the Ranger. This is a chance to see the shoreline and mountains from a different perspective, while also inspecting a floating Museum exhibit. Ranger is a 42-ft sport-fishing boat built in 1917 and refurbished with SBMM donations. She is a classic design of the era with large varnished deckhouse, fantail stern, and fishing cockpit. 

Reservations can be made for pre-arranged groups of 6 passengers only. Dates will be arranged with the organizing Graduate, and guests are welcome. However, all passengers must be able to climb steps and walk on the deck of a moving boat unaided, if necessary. Passengers should wear soft-soled shoes and bring a jacket for evening breezes. 

The group is encouraged to bring beverages and easily-passed appetizers (no dips or potato chips please) to make the cruise a festive occasion. Passengers will also receive an entry pass to the SBMM.

Contact Kathy Weber for dates and reservations. 

Cost is $15 per passenger, which will be donated to the SBMM Ranger Restoration Fund. Send checks (payable to The Graduates) to Kathy Weber. Payment must be received at least 2 weeks prior to the cruise to hold your reservation.
