thanking the Haddonfield Rotary Club for awarding Urban BoatWorks a generous grant and sorry for torturing them with my long acceptance speech at the luncheon today but the delicious shrimp salad sandwich at Tavistock made me even more appreciative!

Breaking today for Family Week with great progress on our current school-year boat builds at Urban BoatWorks in Camden NJ … also refurbishing at 1951 Lyman …

Ahoy - one month from today is the boat launch ! Please join Urban BoatWorks at 9 AM on Saturday, June 14 at the Cooper River yacht club as our student built 16 foot Merrimac and 16 foot cedar strip canoe will be blessed and paddled for the first time ! Bon Voyage !

Thank you to all the students and staff of UrbanPromise who made The Experience at the Boatshop last night truly a wonderful experience for our guests … and although the boats we build with the students are beautiful, whoever made the meatballs for dinner was masterful too !

[Kevin Callahan @IntotheOUTsides]

Thank you very much to the Haddonfield Rotary Club for allowing me to speak and do a slide presentation about UrbanBoatWorks yesterday … and thanks for all the wonderful work that they do… looking forward to the members visiting the boat shop and going for a paddle soon!

@VendeeGlobeENG Also Urban BoatWorks in Camden New Jersey with over 50 middle school and high school students, who learn to build wooden boats, have been following the entire race with each student selecting their favorite racer !

Thanking former college teammate and longtime hiking partner Mike and his cousin Jim-whose mom and dad respectively are the McDonoughs from North Camden and our grandparents were great friends - for visiting the BoatShop in South Camden and for mightily supporting Urban BoatWorks

[Kevin Callahan @IntotheOUTsides]

Thanking my man Broph for his support of Urban BoatWorks over the years and for visiting the boat shop today-he was cocaptain of our 1981 Final Four team and I still look up to him-and I’m not just saying that because he bought lunch today on our coach Skip Werley’s 85 birthday

[Kevin Callahan @IntotheOUTsides]

Our students at Urban BoatWorks in Camden, New Jersey have been following the @VendeeGlobeENG for the past 64 days and congrats to @CharlieDalin for your historic win and you also won a McDonald’s Happy Meal for one of students who picked you to win !
