Thank you for booking an 8 Great Tuesdays Sail on Lettie G. Howard! Please read this email carefully as it contains important information for your sail.
Location:
- Lettie G. Howard departs from Dobbins Landing at the foot of State St. in Erie, PA.
Plan on arriving at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time of the sail to check in. The ship departs from the dock at the scheduled time of the sail with or without you on it.
Information about what to bring, not bring, and what to wear:
• Do have your confirmation email handy. We will generally check guests in by finding your name on our manifest.
• Do dress according to the weather in expectation of spending time outdoors in the elements. We sail rain or shine.
• Do realize that there is about a 10 degree temperature difference between being on land and sailing underway. It can be a little cooler out on the water so having a layer is recommended.
• Do bring sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, and rain gear if applicable. Do not bring umbrellas – if it will look like rain, bring a rain jacket/pants/boots.
• Do wear soft, traction giving shoes – Do not wear high heels.
• Do bring your own food/snacks and beverages. BYOB beer or wine is allowed, within reason. Do not bring fragile glass stemware. Water is available onboard.
• Do only bring coolers, bags, or purses up to the size of a school-sized backpack. We cannot accommodate anything larger.
• Do bring cameras or video recorders if you’d like. Do not bring radios or any other device that produces excessive amounts of noise. The crew must be able to hear one another to sail the ship.
• Do not bring portable chairs. There are benches for seating onboard.
• Do not bring very valuable items or anything you’d hate to have damaged or lost. The Flagship Niagara League and the South Street Seaport Museum take no responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
We look forward to sailing with you!
