After a busy summer of building new boats for the upcoming River Semester, we will be holding a short ceremony and launch for this year’s students as they head off for the river expedition on the morning of Friday, September 3rd. The group will depart from the Watergate Marina (2500 Crosby Farm Rd. in St. Paul) with a christening of the boats at 10am, and launch at approximately 10:30. There is some parking at the marina, with additional parking just down the road at Crosby Farm park. Once at the marina, you will want to walk down the dirt road to the river, where the two catamarans will be pulled up on shore.
