NELL PUBLIC CRUISE TO CONNECTICUT’S WESTERN LONG ISLAND SOUND LIGHTHOUSES New England Lighthouse Lovers (NELL), a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, is sponsoring an all day public cruise on Saturday, June 3, 2006, to the lighthouses of western Long Island Sound. This first-time event will visit 10 lighthouses, including seven offshore Connecticut lights that are rarely seen up close, and will allow plenty of time for photography. It is sure to attract lighthouse enthusiasts from New England, New York, New Jersey, and beyond. The cruise aboard the 250-passenger vessel American Princess (website at www.americanprincesscruises.com will depart from Brewers Yacht Haven Marina in Stamford, CT. The approximately seven-hour tour will include these lighthouses: Stamford Harbor, Great Captain Island, Green's Ledge, Sheffield Island, Peck Ledge, Penfield Reef, the onshore lights at Fayerweather Island (Black Rock Harbor), Tongue Point, and Stratford Point, and conclude with Stratford Shoal (Middle Ground). The cruise will be narrated by lighthouse historian Jeremy D'Entremont, author of a number of books, including his recent The Lighthouses of Connecticut. What better way to learn more about these historic beacons? Cruise fares are only $50 for NELL members and $60 for non-members, children age 12 and under half fare, and must be received before April 15, 2006, or after that date add $10. Breakfast coffee and bagels are included, but you must bring your own lunch. Proceeds after cost and from onboard fundraising events on the return trip will go to lighthouse preservation. Payment in full is required for registration by CHECK ONLY, payable to NELL and is NON-REFUNDABLE unless the tour is cancelled. Registration forms for non-members are available on the NELL website at www.nell.cc. NELL MEMBERS should register ASAP by sending payment to: Tom Pregman, 2240 Shepard Ave, Hamden, CT 06518. Any questions contact Tom at: tomarpregman@webtv.net or call (203) 287-8064, NON-MEMBERS should register ASAP by sending forms and payment to: Shirin Pagels, 8 Pulaski St., Apt 3G, Norwalk, CT 06851. Any questions contact Shirin at: keeptheliteson@yahoo.com or call (203) 554-0053. Additional details, directions, and recommended hotels in the area will be provided to those who register. This tour is limited to 200 passengers and will fill up quickly. Don't miss this great opportunity to view these remote lighthouses up close and personal! Tofix a non-working link...

Shirin,
Sounds great to me. I'm hoping to make this one.
It will get me to some hard to see Lighthouses- CT is not Wacko friendly in some cases.

I don't know how we manged not to bimp into each other on the NY Harbor Cruise- I was on every inch of the ship selling 50-50 tickets.
I'm sure we met we just didn't know it. I probably not be selling anything on the LI Cruise so it should be easier to meet each other.

Well Dennis, with your track record with NELL events...maybe we shall wait and see how things go closer to the date of the trip. I'm hoping this trip will break the streak of NELL events that you haven't been able to join us for.

Shirin, can you keep us posted on how many slots have filled up? I want to go to this but I'm probably not going to know if I can make it until mid-March or so, unless it fills up faster and I need to make a decision. Thanks!

Sure Jen that should be no problem. Currently, I know of 10 non-members who have indicated they are interested in attending. And I have no clue about the number NELL members attending other than myself but will get that info in a few days. Please feel free to email me anytime to inquire about this trip.

Shirin, I'm pretty certain I'm going to do this. I'll know definitely in a couple of weeks, and will hope that there is still a slot at that point. It could be my first NELL event - finally! Judy

Oh but it never hurts to see the lights for yourself! Or, as in my case for this trip, go see them more than once. Only one of these lights will be new for me on this trip - Stratford Shoal

UPDATED INFO FOR THIS TRIP!!!!! Hi to All, The arrangements have been finalized with a hotel for our NELL Spring Meeting / Tour weekend. Sixty members and twenty non-members have already registered or committed for this tour. If you are not one of them, what are you waiting for? Come along and bring a friend so we can meet our 150 minimum See our website at www.nell.cc for the original notice, and this update. GROUP RATE AT THE DOUBLETREE CLUB HOTEL, NORWALK, CT Accommodations are held at this 266 room hotel for Friday June 2 and Saturday June 3, 2006 at the rate of $79 plus tax for NELL members AND FOR THE PUBLIC PARTICIPANTS in our Saturday Western L I Sound cruise. The rate is held until May 19 (two weeks before the stay) as long as any rooms remain available. Cancellation is by 6:00 PM the day of your stay. The hotel is just off exit 13 from I-95 (north or south), turn right from either direction to 789 Connecticut Ave. (Route 1). The hotel is very central to our NELL weekend, and was completely renovated in July 2005. Rooms are non-smoking and have 1 king bed or 2 queen beds.

Please make your own credit card reservations at the Doubletree by calling their toll free number 800-222-8733 or direct at 203-853-3477 ASAP. Be sure to say you are with the New England Lighthouse Lovers group. If you wish to register on-line at our rate, ask Shirin or Tom for the group code when you send in your tour check. Breakfast is not included but they have an extensive buffet for $10.95 from 7:00 AM or you can order off the restaurant menu including continental items. There are also Friendly's, IHOP, and McDonald's only a few doors away. The hotel restaurant has a reasonable dinner menu and there are also Bertucci's and Cook House (steak) restaurants essentially next door. The Brewer Yacht Haven Marina WEST for Saturday's cruise is 5 minutes (less than 5 mi) drive south on I-95 to exit 7 and another 5 minutes to the Marina from there. DIRECTIONS TO BREWER YACHT HAVEN MARINA WEST for 9:00 AM departure (Check in before 8:30 AM) FROM DOUBLETREE HOTEL turn LEFT on Connecticut Ave., and in a short distance LEFT again onto I-95 SOUTH. FROM I-95 SOUTHBOUND (from New Haven) take EXIT 7. At the 4th light turn LEFT onto Washington Blvd. and proceed until the stop sign at its end. Turn LEFT and IMMEDIATE RIGHT onto Dyke Lane for 1/8 mi. then RIGHT into the Marina. DIRECTIONS TO BREWERS YACHT HAVEN MARINA FROM I-95 NORTHBOUND (from NY): Take EXIT 7 and proceed through the light and at the next light turn RIGHT onto Washington Blvd. and proceed to the stop sign at its end. Turn LEFT and IMMEDIATE RIGHT onto Dyke Lane for 1/8 mi. then RIGHT into the Marina. NELL MEMBERS WEEKEND: The South Norwalk shops, restaurants, and entertainment area, known as SONO, is north on I-95 off the next exit, 14. This area is "where its at" for Friday or Saturday nights. The Maritime Aquarium and I-Max Theater are there, and to name a few places to eat, there are Brewhouse Restaurant, O'Neill's Pub, The Rattlesnake, SONO Seaport Seafood, and for more upscale dining on the water, across the Norwalk River there is Harbor Lights Restaurant. A Norwalk map of these locations by lighthousemaps.com will be in your tour envelopes. The SUNDAY AM NELL MEETING will be from 9:00 AM - 11:00+ AM in the ballroom at the Doubletree hotel. Fundraising will be held on the return leg of the Saturday cruise aboard the American Princess and will not take up time at the meeting. Committee reports and Secretary minutes are expected to be distributed before the meeting so you may read them ahead of time. Also it will be time for election of NELL officers so you don't want to miss this meeting. SUNDAY RECOMMENDED 2:00 PM NORWALK SEAPORT ASSOC. (NSA) TOUR TO SHEFFIELD ISLAND LIGHT: (Check in 30 min. before departure) NSA DOES NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS UNTIL MARCH. To make your own reservations then, and pay at the tour, call 203-838-9444, or WEEKENDS at 203-838-2898, or by e-mail to nseaport@snet.net. Check their website at www.seaport.org. for info and other tour options. Their 2005 rate was $16. Members going on the tour pick up the Norwalk Seaport Assoc. (NSA) boat right next door to The Maritime Aquarium and I-Max Theater in SONO. DIRECTIONS TO SONO & NORWALK SEAPORT ASSOC. DOCK FOR NELL MEMBERS SHEFFIELD ISLAND TOUR FROM DOUBLETREE hotel: Exit to Connecticut Ave. and turn RIGHT. Continue to the 6th light then turn RIGHT onto Scribner Ave, following the signs to get onto I-95 NORTH. Take the next Exit 14 from I-95. Go straight at the stop sign onto Reed Street and down the hill to West Ave. Turn RIGHT onto West Ave. and follow the signs to South Norwalk. Bear left at 1st major intersection (second light) onto North Main for 3 lights. Turn left under railroad overpass onto Washington Street and take 1st left onto N Water Street, then immediate right into parking lot where the NSA vessel docks. You will need to be there 30 min. ahead of your tour time. (1:30 PM for the 2:00 PM tour) This lot by the NSA dock will most likely be filled by the time our meeting gets out so people would be lucky to get a spot there. There is a pay box for parking passes to display on your windshield. Rate is $1 per hour for the first 4 hours and $5 for 24 hours. More than likely you will need to continue on N Water Street past the Maritime Aquarium and use the parking garage on the left across from the Aquarium entrance and allow time to walk back. The rate there is $5 for 3-5 hours. It increases to $8 for 7-12 hours. The 2:00 PM boat returns to the dock at 5:00 PM. Have a safe trip home.

The AAA rate is a bit cheaper- $75.65 plus tax- of course there may not be as many rooms available at that rate.

How far is the train station from the hotel, which by the way doesn't have any more rooms in the block that was saved for ther group?

You mean they've already filled 30 rooms? I just signed the contract last week. The train station is about 7 miles from the hotel. However, if you hit the right traffic you'll be sitting on I-95 for quite awhile.

I just called the 800 number and made my reservations and didn't have any trouble getting the $79. rate. They never said anything anyway. There's no campgrounds in the immediate area so I can't take my trailer.

Thanks for letting me know Tom. I just passed the hotel on my way back from the dentist. Had thought about stopping in to see what the deal was with the rooms but didn't quite feel like it with half of my mouth completely numb at the moment.

Jen, I don't know where in Mi. you are but it takes me with my trailer 1 overnight stop from Mackinaw City to home - Fishkill N.Y. Down I75 to 23 to I 80/90 to I80 into Pa. to I81 north to I84 east into N.Y. and then on into Ct.to Rt.7 south to Norwalk. Its not a bad ride except for the mountains in Pa (pulling a 30ft.R.V.) Should take you, depending on how you drive, 18-20 (driving time) hours. Two drivers you could go striaght thru and maybe make up some time. That's from Mackinaw City to Nowalk.

Tom, it looks like I'm going to be driving the last half of that same route to get to CT. I'm going to be driving from Richmond to Charlottesville/Waynesboro/Staunton VA first and leaving from there, getting on I-81 from there instead of heading up I-95.
Thanks for spelling it out. Now the map makes sense!

It's about a 12 hour drive from where I'm at, Tom.

And I'm still getting tons of calls and emails and still plenty of checks in the mail that I'll now have to return to people. There was certainly a lot more interest in this cruise than we thought!

Maybe, next year, the event can be even bigger. Just think of all the money you will be able to raise! Good job, Shirin!

You gotta have faith. I really wold have been very surprised and greatly disappointed if the cruise didn't sell out. Its not all that often you get to "see the light" from the water.

Your welcome Judy and I think you choose the better route. I think I81 is a much nicer, better and less hectic ride than I95. Safe driving!

Thats a piece of cake Jen. You should be able to make it straight thru w/out stopping except for gas and stuff. Leave at 8am and arrive at hotel Norwalk just in time for bed and you'll have the afternoon sun at your back. Makes for eaiser driving late in the day.
