From the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater

The hillsides in the Hudson Valley are covered with snow, but Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, America’s flagship environmental organization, is looking ahead to the spring sailing schedule and bringing new volunteers on board to help with its award-winning educational programs.

The spring sailing schedule can be found online at www.clearwater.org/come-sailing/sail-schedule/. The sloop Clearwater will start the sailing season at the Kearney House Shad Bake in Alpine, NJ, on Saturday, May 1, 2010, and then bring its first school groups aboard on Monday, May 3, 2010. The schooner Mystic Whaler, which is contracted out to run Clearwater’s educational programs, will begins its sailing season with a school group in New York City on Monday, April 12, 2010.

Many weekend dates in May and June are presently open on both the Clearwater and Mystic Whaler schedules. Those interested in chartering either vessel for an educational group or for a private event are now able to view available dates. Contact Catherine Stankowski, Clearwater’s sail coordinator, at (845) 265-8080 x7107 or by email [email protected] for more information or to book a sail.

Clearwater also has some openings for onboard volunteers this spring. What better way to welcome in the warmer weather than by spending a week sailing aboard the majestic Hudson River sloop Clearwater or her sister ship, the schooner Mystic Whaler? Clearwater is welcoming applications now for anyone interested in experiencing life aboard an historic tall ship, who is willing to work hard and above all has a passion for teaching.

Each week, Clearwater supplements her professional crew with six new volunteers who help sail the vessel and assist in teaching her prestigious education program. As volunteers, individuals can expect three fantastic meals a day, exciting adventures on the water, the chance to teach hundreds of kids, a slightly uncomfortable bunk and the sweet satisfaction of working together for a wonderful cause. Clearwater relies on the support of volunteers to help prepare the next generation of environmental leaders by inspiring students to learn about and love our Hudson River.
