Hosted once again at our Boston Rowing Center on Fort Point Channel, the day offers unequaled opportunities to watch over 250 young people give everything they've got during skills-challenge heats, culminating in a Novice Distance Challenge and the traditional Nautical Mile events.
The Icebreaker continues to grow, with teams descending on Boston from New York city, New Haven, Avery Point, Boston Harbor, Cape Cod, Plymouth, Westport, Lake Champlain, and Maine's mid-coast, Rockland, North Haven and Vinalhaven. The waterfront will come alive as 30 traditional, kid-built, wooden gigs take to the Harbor in a day of inspirational athletics and sportsmanship.

A Visit from Flying Santa!
Sunday, December 11, 2016, 10:35 am
Hull Lifesaving Museum
1117 Nantasket Avenue, Hull
Free, Donations Welcome
We are looking forward to a visit from Santa Claus on Sunday, December 11, around 10:35 am. Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of Flying Santa, Santa will land his helicopter nearby to deliver candy canes to the children. This annual treat is much more than holiday excitement for the kids, it is a wonderful New England tradition that dates back to 1929 when Maine floatplane pilot Captain William Wincapaw began dropping gifts at lighthouses. Today, Friends of Flying Santa flies to more than 30 locations along the New England coast, delivering carefully selected gifts to the children of Coast Guard families at 61 USCG units.
