On a blustery afternoon in early April, a group of about 25 Boston Station members and guests visited Boston BoatWorks, Charlestown, MA to learn about a new series of boats they're building for Barton & Gray Mariners Club. During their visit they saw two boats under construction, the B&G Daychaser 48 and the BB 44. Reviews of the construction quality and attention to detail have been very enthusiastic. After the visit, some of the group retired to Brewers Fork for a round of good cheer and conversation.
Boston Station Safety Officer Brian Guck had a recent experience that may be a good lesson for all of us. Here's what happened.
One morning, a week ago I was heading down the Warren River out into Narragansett Bay when I saw a small flash of white along the shore of Rumstick Point to starboard. I grabbed my binoculars and saw a rowing shell moving along the shore. Except for that one flash of white the boat and its rowers were all but invisible.

Holly McDonough has taken on the task of look at various alternatives, and has made an arrangement with a name tag vendor which will allow any BOS member to order name tags and to have them shipped directly to you. This arrangement will avoid the more complex logistics of group orders which we have placed in the past. We have had several members, including the McDonoughs, order these tags as a trial run and they report that the process is simple and efficient.
