BOATS
Word is
now official; we are back on the M/V Thomas Leighton out of
Portsmouth.
New
guidelines for the Boat, Parking and Luggage will be added when it's
available!
For newcomers, the Laighton is a 90-foot vessel, with three decks, two
of which are fully enclosed and heated. It has the capacity to
hold 300, and has many amenities, including a snack bar, several
washrooms, comfortable deck chairs, and the boat is
wheelchair-accessible.
- Using
the Laighton will allow all participants from a conference to share
the experience of arriving at Star together…and going home
together.
- Portsmouth
is accessible by public transportation, a great boon to those who
are coming to Star from Logan or Manchester airports.
- Parking
will be simplified; with a paved and well-lit lot, the luggage
drop-off will be right next to the boats.
- Simplified
parking will mean fewer SIC employees must come into Portsmouth to
manage the boarding/disembarking processes.
- More
time will be available on the island for turn-around; cleaning,
repairs, and general maintenance can be done in a less rushed
environment.
- Early
arrivals can take advantage of the hotels right across the street;
coming back into Portsmouth on Saturday could mean lunch and
shopping, to extend their Star Island experience for another few
hours.
- The
ISSCO staff is familiar with Star Island, the Shoalers, and our
needs…they will be genuine partners in this venture.
