ABOUT THE EVENT:
Arrr, mates! Sometimes even the bravest captains must bow to the seas. Mother Nature scuttled our original cruise date, but have no fear—we’ve hoisted the anchor again and combined both of our planned adventures into one grand sunset paw-rate voyage with Al Gauron out of Hampton, NH.
This be no ordinary sail. It’s the only dog-friendly cruise offered by Al Gauron, and it’s now bigger, bolder, and brimm’in with pirate spirit. Together, we’ll cruise the harbor and Merrimack aboard the 90-foot Northern Star—the largest and most spacious vessel in the fleet—reserved just for our Golden Dog crew and our salty sea dogs.
Bring yer own grub and non-alcoholic swill (no glass bottles), or enjoy vittles from the galley—hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks, and snacks—plus grog from the cash bar. Whether yer pup be a seasoned sailor or ye come alone to feel the sea air, ye won’t want to miss this one-night-only voyage.
Pirate Costume Contest
To mark International Pirate Month (which was in August), we’ll be hostin’ a rollickin’ Pirate Costume Contest for both humans and dogs:
-Best Costumed Human – 1st, 2nd, 3rd place
-Best Dressed Dog – 1st, 2nd, 3rd place
Our panel o’ judges be none other than the spirited Northern Star crew and yer trusty Golden Dog Adventure Guides. (Note: don’t make yer pup wear attire if they aren’t comfortable.)
