      NEWS TIP From BoatUS: 2025 Bicentennial of the Erie Canal

      BoatUS

      BoatUS is the leading advocate for boating safety in the US and A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR.

      NEWS TIP From BoatUS

      Dear Media and Friends of BoatUS Public Affairs-

      I’d like to make you aware of a significant commemoration taking place in New York State in 2025 – the Bicentennial of the Erie Canal. There will be much to offer recreational boaters in this historic year as communities along the entire 524-mile New York State Canal system are expected to roll out the red carpet to boaters, whether they may be interested in cruising a length of the canal or just checking out waters by trailer boat for the day or weekend.

      I am reaching out to you with this news tip as BoatUS is a sponsor of the celebration and our TowBoatUS Oneida/Rochester, Buffalo, and Oswego teams will be involved as well. I am also a New York State resident who welcomes boaters to my home state, perhaps looking to visit the canal for their first time. Nearly 200 years ago, the Erie Canal opened forever making a monumental impact on the of growth New York State and even more importantly, the entire nation.

      Today, the Canal system is a premier recreational boat waterway, with historic infrastructure that mostly still runs on simple waterpower, offering a ribbon of navigable canals, locks,  rivers, and lakes across upstate New York connecting the East Coast with the Great Lakes and Canada that provide a cruising experience found nowhere else in America. The villages, towns, and cities that line her shores offer a wealth of tourism opportunities for visiting boaters, and I hope you have a chance to highlight this momentous year and incredible boating experience available to your readers and friends.

      The culmination of the 2025 summer boating season will see the World Canals Conference [visit here to sign-up for information and updates: https://wcc2025buffalo.com] in Buffalo in September, along with the transit from Buffalo to New York City of the historic, newly-launched canal boat replica, the 73-foot Seneca Chief, which will symbolize Governor Dewitt Clinton’s historic opening voyage 200 years ago. Boaters will be welcomed to join a flotilla or regional parade(s) to accompany the Seneca Chief. More details will be fleshed out in the next couple of months.

      If you’d like to start to know more, feel free to contact my friends at:

      Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor: Jean MacKay, jean_mackay@eriecanalway.org
      New York State Canal Corporation / New York Power Authority: Shane Mahar, shane.mahar@nypa.gov

      I am positive a short discussion with Jean or Shane could help you flesh out a story or news item. Feel free to let them know Scott sent you and hope to see you in New York this summer!

      Thanks-

      Scott

      Ah, the life of a liveaboard Sailor…on a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht… as of August 2024 we are undergoing extensive repair and refit for the next several months(!). In boating terms we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland.

      I plan to mix Sailing Stories with the challenges and intricacies of restoring a 90-year-old boat. I’m always open to suggestions as to content….please feel free to weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you! ~J

      A Wooden Boat is a strong, intricate entity constructed of Mother Nature’s finest materials.

      Urgent: Anchoring Rights meeting in early January – Wally Moran

      WE NEED YOU!

      The upcoming Florida legislative session is going to be a crucial one for boaters.
       
      We are aware of two major pieces of proposed legislation, the 5000 foot setoff from seaports being pushed by West Palm Beach that we have reported here earlier, and another from Miami Beach for which we have no details as yet.
      Just the 5000 foot setoff, if passed and implemented, will cause complete chaos for anchoring in Florida as it will affect EVERY seaport in the state, and those locations are where most boaters are anchored.
      Miami Beach is a basket case situation – they despise anchored boats and whatever bill they want will be a disaster for us.
      These bills cannot be allowed to pass, but if we are to stop them, your help is needed.
      One of the major issues is that the current, so called “anchoring coalition”, made up of Boat US, SSCA, AGLCA, MTOA, DeFever Yachts and Waterway Guide, isn’t up to the task. Over the years, this group of organizations has allowed far too many of our rights to disappear through well meaning, but badly misguided actions. 
      We need new and more vigilant, proactive actors working to protect our right to anchor in Florida. We need people who aren’t observing this fight from their offices in DC or elsewhere, we need people like you who are on the water, who are a part of this community and who truly understand just what the fight is about.
      Therefore, we are holding a meeting in West Palm Beach in early January to discuss ways and means to protect our rights.
      You’re invited. Details will follow very soon.
      This may be the most important boating meeting you will ever attend.
      In the meantime, I need some volunteers to deal with some non glamourous jobs so that this meeting will be a success.
      We need someone who can be in WPB who can video the entire event, set up a sound system, do the entire AV thing including setting it up for ZOOM to the world. I have NO idea what’s involved, but I’m sure someone reading this does, and I need you.
      I need several someones to contact the various boating groups, yacht clubs, etc. to inform them of this event and encourage them to send a representative.
      I need several more someone’s to contact media and industry groups to inform them of this event and send a rep to join us.
      I need someone to arrange and deal with the venue – and to research a suitable venue for this.
      I need some people to do some fund raising.
      At some point, I’m going to need people to attend hearings, etc. in Tallahassee, contact legislators, etc.And I’m sure I’ll need a few more people for stuff we haven’t thought of yet.

      You joined this group to keep up with what’s going on in Florida anchoring, and now it’s time to get more involved. We need you to help protect your rights to anchor in Florida.
      PM me at Wally Moran or send me an email at wally@CRNNA.com and let me know what you can do to help make this meeting a success.
      We can win this fight – we WILL win this fight.

       
      If you have not as yet done so, join the Cruisers Rights Network – Save Florida’s Anchorage group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/savefloridasanchorages

      Highlights of the day will include: 

      • Interactive exhibits from CRD-partner environmental organizations and agencies 
      • Live animal encounters featuring coastal wildlife 
      • Educational activities and demonstrations about conservation and sustainability 
      • Food vendors, activities, and cannon firings 

      Admission to CoastFest is free, and the event is open to the public. 

      With a wide variety of hands-on experiences and learning opportunities, CoastFest offers something for everyone, from young children to lifelong learners.
