There will be a luncheon in downtown Boston at the India Wharf Rats Club on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 1200. All members and their guests are welcome.  Sheila McCurdy will tell us about her new book High Seas Home Waters: A History of the Cruising Club of America, scheduled for publication in the coming months.  Sally Honey, in her review of the book, wrote that it "gives a clear image of what the Club is about: good adventures and shared stories rather than glamorous settings. It is a tour de force with a delightfully personal touch."

The menu will be chowder, salad, crackers and desert, and a bar will be set up for the thirsty (donations accepted). The charge will be $40.00.  Please click here to register.

The "Rathole" entrance is located in the alley behind the Massachusetts Transportation Building at the corner of Charles and Stuart Streets.  The approach to the Rathole resembles the approach to a disreputable speakeasy and can be challenging for navigators lacking local knowledge.
