Running of the boats a first for local Freedom Boat Club
On March 10, members of Freedom Boat Club completed their first running of the boats, moving 16 boats in two shifts from the Riverside Business Park docks on the Broadkill River in Lewes, up the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, across Rehoboth Bay to Love Creek marina off Route 24 in preparation for the 2022 boating season.
Freedom Boat Club maintains dockage in four area locations, including Riverside, Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal, Love Creek and Long Neck.
Assisting with the flotilla were members of the Sea Sisters, a local chapter of seafaring women who encourage and empower each other to get out on the water with confidence through social, educational and community-driven activities and events. “This past winter, we’ve seen so much snow and it’s been really cold,” said Sea Sisters ambassador LeeAnn Augustine. “It’s great to get back on the water and drive the boats to their new locations. Warm boating weather is right around the corner.”
Sea Sisters have also helped move boats in other Freedom Boat locations in the Cape May, N.J., and Annapolis, Md. areas.
Freedom Boat Club, founded in Sarasota, Fla., in 1989, is the largest boat club operator and franchisor in the nation, with 38,000 memberships at more than 310 locations in 31 states, Canada and Europe. For more information, go to freedomboatclub.com.
