Rocking the Boat’s eighth annual Rocking Manhattan fundraiser took place on a warm and gorgeously bright September Saturday, and was one of our best ever. Over 100 people circumnavigated Manhattan with us, starting and ending for the first time on the shores of Brooklyn—from the brand new, beautiful One°15 Brooklyn Marina.
Connecting with nature, rowing, hiking, fishing, sailing…all activities that might, for good reason, come to mind when you think about summer camp fun. Rocking the Boat campers have been enjoying all of those memorable experiences and many others this July and August, while at the same time learning important lessons about how to use the Bronx River safely and responsibly.
This past March, Rocking the Boat launched the student level of two programs—sailing and environmental science—for the price of one! 16 new sailing students were recruited, as planned, to complete the roll out of Rocking the Boat’s major expansion into sailing.
Some wise boat boatbuilder once said “the only straight line on a boat is invisible.” Because a boat is made up of a series of curves, it is frequently necessary to bend wood in the process of making one.
