The weather was stupendous. The boat is very cool - I helped raise the sails! The staff is extraordinary. My family and I took my mom on the boat to celebrate her 101st birthday. Naturally I was wary, since even with a walker, she's quite unsteady. The staff was so kind to her, they made her as comfortable as possible. Such kind and thoughtful people! So cool going under the bridges! Seeing the familiar (I am a New Yorker) from that vantage point was fab.
