Join Andrew Quagliata (and possibly Susanne and the kids) for a boat ride on Cayuga Lake. Our 24-foot pontoon boat provides a comfortable way to see our community from a different perspective. We will depart from Meyers Park in Lansing and take a one to two hour boat ride. The winner of this action can choose whether we head south toward Ithaca to see views of Cornell University and Ithaca College or whether we head north toward Taughannock Falls State Park. If the weather is nice and the water is warm, we can even shut off the engine, jump in the water, and go for a swim. Children under the age of 12 must wear a personal flotation device at all times. We have life jackets for most sizes. Contact Andrew at 585-330-9094 to schedule the outing between June 1 and August 1. We can accommodate up to four guests. 0 000240.0 240 .00075E7 75
