More on Carib II

From Linda Hauck, President of the Tottenville Historical Society:
All the details of Carib II’s arrival will appear in our next newsletter, The CART .
Everything was perfect. It was a crystal clear, sunny day.
The boat is beautiful. Inside and out. Boat owner David Soule is passionate about his historic boat and will be a loving steward for many years to come. He is down-to-earth, easy to talk with, a dedicated historian, a real gentleman.
Carib II sailed past the Pavilion at Conference House Park into Tottenville at precisely 11 am, accompanied by 8 other boats from surrounding yacht clubs. Cheering townspeople greeted her with banners, flags, and an occasional air horn.
She docked at Port Atlantic Marina on Ellis St., where people came all afternoon to view her.
She was moored on Sat. and Sun. nights at Bentley Yacht Club, off Hopping Ave., in the very same waters where she began her journey 83 years ago. On Monday morning, David and Carib II will depart and continue their voyage north.
We had contacted the press (newspaper and TV) weeks ago, and never heard back. So you can image how thrilled we were when both the Staten Island Advance and NY1 News (cable TV) showed up on Saturday —— albeit at the same time!
