The bus departs at 9:30 am for a trip to the Essex River Cruise. The cruise operates within a tidal estuary. It explores the salt marsh and navigates within a protected bay, and they do not operate on the open ocean. We suggest you dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. We will enjoy lunch at CK Pearl Restaurant before the boat trip. Approximate return: 3:30 pm. Fee: $46/tour and transportation plus your choice of lunch. Note: Your signature commits to payment. Deadline to sign-up: Friday, June 9. Cancellations after June 9 will be charged for tickets.
