The Alumni Association of New York (YA) presents Young Alumni Sunset Sail

Saturday, October 4, 2008 18:00to20:00
Chelsea Piers, 18th St on the Hudson River, Chelsea Piers, 18th St on the Hudson River, Manhattan, New York, CA

Climb aboard the Adirondack, a beautiful 80-foot schooner, and experience a New York City sunset from the water on this evening cruise past waterside landmarks. Join fellow McGill Alumni on this picturesque two-hour sail away from the hustle and noise of the city.

Illuminated views along the way will include:

- The New York City skyline
- Battery Park, 20 acres at the southern tip of Manhattan where artillery has been stationed over the centuries
- Ellis Island, the immigrant doorway to America from 1892 to 1954
- The Statue of Liberty, a French gift that arrived in New York harbor in 1885 and has come to represent our nation's freedom and ideals

Complimentary champagne, wine, beer and soda will be provided. (Several rounds of drinks will be served, but not unlimited amounts. We aim to create an elegant, relaxing, peaceful and safe experience for all of our guests.)

The engines will remain shut off during as much of the trip as possible.

What is Not Included?

Food will not be served during the sail, but feel free to bring your own picnic.

PLEASE NOTE: WHILE THIS EVENT IS HOSTED BY McGILL YOUNG ALUMNI, ALL McGILL ALUMNI ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
