What to Bring:
This is a BYO event, so pack a lunch, snack and something to drink since we will be out all day. It can be cool out on the water, even during the summer, so we recommend you bring a sweatshirt or light jacket. Sunblock, hat and sunglasses are recommended too. Lastly, be sure to have your camera or binoculars!
Where do we park?
The town of Camden has two all-day parking lots: one is on Washington Street just past the fire station on the right, and the other is on Atlantic Avenue just past the Camden Public Library, on the left. Both are within walking distance of the public landing.
Is there a bathroom onboard?
Yes, there is a flushable toilet (or ‘head’ if you’re a mariner) on board the Periwinkle.
