Boston Harbor

Two if by Sea- Boston’s Waterfront

November 16, 2012

This past Tuesday night, I went on a boat tour around Boston’s Fort Point Channel & Boston Harbor. I volunteer with a group called ACE Mentor Program so I take pictures of the students in action on field trips and in the class room developing projects in the skill set of Architecture, Construction, and Engineering. We went out for an hour-long boat ride so the students could learn about the architecture designs and the structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) requirements for buildings and bridges around Fort Point & South Boston’s waterfront district.

It was raining but I snuck outside a few times to get some pictures of the Harbor as the sun was setting.

We took the tour on the Charles 1 from the Charles River Boat Company. They were so super generous donating their time and vessel for the group of students. How cool! They offer Charles River cruises, architectural tours, and sunset cruises on the Charles River, Boston Harbor, and Fort Point Area. As I may be bias, (I am) I think the BSA guided architectural trour sounds pretty awesome. Their tour season has closed now but I suggest checking them out in 2013, I know I will!

Wind- it’s pretty amazing

July 1, 2010

Last night Price and I went sailing for the first time. One of my coworker’s sent around an email in the morning asking if people would want to go sailing that night. I jumped at the opportunity since we had never been sailing before. In fact, one of our goals was to going sailing on the Charles this summer. When I’ll meet that and raise you sailing in Boston Harbor. Goal set, and clearly surpassed.

So we met Larry at the launch to take us to the sail boats on the moorings for boats in the Boston Harbor Sailing Club. He explained the parts of the 27-foot boat. Like the keel- which will keep you from capsizing since it displaces around 2,000lbs. Loving that.

Price took one and side and I took another to handle the jib sail while Larry took the back to go from side to side as we tacked from side to side. We crisscrossed the harbor as we watched a group of sail boats race. It was unbeliebale how fast they were going and how far over they were leaning. It was such a beautiful night.

The ride was amazing since it was pretty windy. So windy that when my side was closer to the water a wave came across the bow and got me soaked. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. So I loved it even more when Price got his turn and got wet. Mauhahaha!

Thanks again, Larry!
