Hello Brooklyn Marina Members and Friends,
Where did August go? It seems like we missed a day—or maybe a whole week—somewhere along the way!
As we head into the final weekend of August, there's lots of news to share and plenty to celebrate at Brooklyn Marina.
🚣 What a Cardboard Boat Race!
Our 2026 Cardboard Boat Race was a great success!
A huge thank you to all of our members, volunteers, participants, entertainers and everyone who pitched in to make the day happen. It takes a lot of helping hands to put on an event like this, and once again our marina community came through.
We also had a great day for Brooklyn Marina merchandise. It was wonderful to see so many people sporting the BM logo!
⛵ Welcome LaHave River Yacht Club
It was a pleasure to welcome our friends from the LaHave River Yacht Club for the weekend.
They certainly brought the fleet! It was quite a sight to see our visitor dock and moorings full of boats.
We always enjoy their visits—and especially hearing the stories of their adventures on the water. They only encountered one little thunder shower on their way to Brooklyn, and thankfully the rain held off here until everyone was ready to hit the cots for the night!
Thank you for spending the weekend with us. We hope to see you back again soon.
👋 Last Week for Our Summer Students
This week marks the final week for our summer students.
Having their extra hands around the marina has been a real bonus this season. They've assisted with marina operations, events, grounds and the many day-to-day jobs that keep everything running.
Thank you for being part of our team this summer!
🍳 Galley Season Wrap-Up
Our regular Saturday dinners and Sunday breakfasts have now finished for the season.
A very BIG thank you to all of the volunteers who cooked, served, tended bar, washed dishes, set tables, cleaned up and stepped in wherever they were needed.
These meals don't happen without volunteers, and we truly appreciate everyone who helped make our galley season such a success.
But that doesn't necessarily mean the kitchen is closed until next summer!
Have an idea for September?
If any of our members would like to organize a pop-up dinner, social, music night or other event, we'd be happy to look at some possibilities for September.
Send us your ideas. There's still lots of good weather ahead!
🎶 This Saturday Night
We're not finished having fun yet!
Join us Saturday evening for a live performance featuring Nicole Nickerson (Whynot)!
Come down, relax, enjoy the waterfront and spend an evening with friends at Brooklyn Marina.
⚓ Brooklyn Marina Merchandise
Did you miss your chance to pick up some BM merchandise during the Cardboard Boat Race?
There's still time!
We have some items remaining in stock, and we'll be placing a special order for additional merchandise next week.
Brooklyn Marina gear also makes a great birthday or Christmas gift—and Christmas will be here before we know it!

🌅 Summer Isn't Over Yet!
Although our scheduled kitchen services and summer student season are winding down, Brooklyn Marina certainly isn't!
There is still lots of beautiful boating weather ahead and plenty of time to enjoy the docks, deck, clubhouse and waterfront.
Stay tuned for further updates, possible September pop-ups and other happenings around the marina.
Most importantly, thank you to our members, volunteers and supporters who have made the 2026 summer season such a memorable one.
See you at the Marina!
