Release the Kraken!

Just thought I'd pass along a few items here as we approach mid-week (and in case I don't manage a post for Friday).

Making a virtue of necessity, the Flagship Niagara has embraced the fact that their next day sail opportunity falls on Friday the 13th. They've posted some fun stuff on Facebook about maritime superstitions and are discounting the price of Friday's experience by $13. Sailors are a superstitious lot, and senior captain Walter Rybka will be on board to share stories. Check the website to see if space is still available and to purchase tickets.

If you just can't risk it but still want to know what it's like to be on board Niagara, you can listen to Aubrey Ralph's radio piece for Public Radio Exchange (PRX) about her 9-day sojourn last summer.
