Ahoy, mateys!

Join your Journal Sentinel crew mates on Aug. 18 for a sunset cruise on the waters of the Milwaukee River and the inner harbor of Lake Michigan aboard the good ship Edelweiss.

Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will be served as we sail leisurely past the sights of downtown and the Third Ward and get a great view from the lake of the art museum’s Calatrava addition.

All Guild members in good standing are invited. Each member may bring one guest on the two-hour tour. And it won’t cost you a dime or a doubloon; it’s all free. We weigh anchor at 7:30 p.m. sharp from the river walk at 204 W. Highland. Boarding begins at 7:15 p.m., so don’t be late.

If you’re planning to sail with us, you must RSVP by noon Aug. 6 by sending an e-mail to info@milwaukeenewsguild.org. Invitations also are being mailed to all Guild members.

So don’t miss the boat! Join us for an evening of good food, great drinks and Guild camaraderie.
