| FLY FISHING |
| Take a break from your meeting and learn the art of fly fishing. We have instructors available for private and group lessons. Reservations are required, and the fly fishing equipment is provided. Our instructors will provide beginners and "old pros" with enough skills to catch a fish on a fly. Because of the personal attention you will receive, your skills at any level will be improved. Whether you are new to fly fishing, or an experienced angler, our school is sure to provide you with new skills, knowledge and techniques that will bring increased pleasure in the sport. Come join us for a most enjoyable and rewarding way to learn this pastime. Schools run from three hour workshops to two-day sessions, starting early May through late September. Pricing is $100.00 per hour per instructor with a minimum of 3 hours of instruction. Ratio of 5 students to 1 instructor is the guideline for instruction. |

| SAILING |
| Brandaris Sailing Charter The Dutch sailing ship Brandaris represents about as classic a Dutch sailing canal barge as you may find anywhere. A huge cockpit aft provides safety and comfort for large groups, and broad stable decks welcome you forward to enjoy the huge expanse of space available for your enjoyment. With its home berth in Wickford Harbor, she offers unique opportunities to view Narragansett Bay in ways even the most avid boaters overlook or are unable to duplicate. Seal watching and nature excursions are available. Doug Somers 7 Main Street Wickford, RI 02852 401-294-1481 |
