Editing Acetarium Summer Retreat 2014 (section)

== Getting To and From ==

Should you need to get on or off the island at any point, we will make that happen.  Either Alex or any of the other experienced sea captains will ferry you between Handy Boat marina in Falmouth, ME, and Sturdivant Island whenever you you need.  

That being said:

'''We need everyone to sub-assemble their travel groups as much as possible'''.  Not only will this will reduce costs all around, but it will reduce the amount of trips between the marina and the island.  So, please reach out to the rest of the group to find travel buddies!

DRIVING

If you're driving a car, you'll want to make parking reservations ahead of time with Handy Boat marina (207-781-5110).  It's $10/day.

Once you're there, give one of us a call and we'll pick you up in the boat.

TRAINING (OR BUSING)

There are five trains a day from Boston North Station to Portland.  Tickets are either $20 or $25.  If you're leaving Thursday, my advice is to take the 5:00pm train, and share a taxi to Falmouth.  Taxi fare is estimated to be around $25.

Another option is to bring your bike on the train ($5, reservations required), and complete the short ride between Portland and Falmouth.

Once you're there, give one of us a call and we'll pick you up in the boat.

WATER TAXI

It is possible to take a [http://www.cbwatertaxi.com/rates.php|water taxi] from Portland directly to Sturdivant island, but it's expensive at $85.  Still, with six people, it might be worth considering!
