The big day is almost
here!
WHAT: Please
join your friends and neighbors in welcoming our new
Algiers/Canal St. ferry as it makes its way downriver
to Chalmette where Coast Guard testing will be done prior to
the boat going into service.
Just to be clear, the boat won’t stop, but bring something to
wave:
- A
flag from your front porch
- A
second-line hankie
- Your
favorite Algiers-themed t-shirt, or “ferry” or “fairy”
attire.
- A
musical instrument and repertoire of water-themed tunes
- A
picnic dinner and your favorite libation
WHY:
This party is just for fun-- there's no stage, no agenda,
and no bells or whistles. Just a bunch of neighbors celebrating
our new ferry!
WHEN: Tuesday, July 10th,
2018 - approximate arrival time: 6 to 8
p.m. (The trip takes 10 hours from Jeanerette, but an
exact arrival time cannot be determined until the boat passes
through various locks along the way.)
WHERE: The
batture land to the right of the Westbank ferry landing. (Site of
Wednesdays on the Point.)
HOW: Keep
your eye on the APA Facebook page for
real-time arrival time as the Captain calls with his location
during the day on Tuesday.
See you on the levee!
