<P>Dusk is a magical time to be on the water, so what could be more blissful than paddling a canoe by moonlight? We push off as the sun sets for an evening of relaxation, good food, and conversation. Our boathouse in Newton, located on the flatwater Lakes District of the Charles, is the perfect location for this opportunity to unwind.</P>
<P>As the moon rises to light our way, we'll watch herons browsing along the banks and other wildlife settling in for the night. After we anchor for cheese and crackers, light snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and dessert, we will return to the boathouse.</P>
<P>On this tour you'll receive a quick introduction to canoeing strokes and learn about the area's rich history. </P>

<P><STRONG>What To Wear</STRONG><BR>On warm days in the middle of the summer, you will probably be comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt. Bring a sweatshirt or sweater in case you become chilled after the sun has gone down, and a windbreaker in case it's breezy. Bug repellent is also a good idea.</P>
<P>In the spring and fall, you will want clothing you can layer for warmth, including a top layer that will protect you from the wind. Jeans, sweatshirts, fleece sweaters, windbreakers or light parkas are good layering options. If it is very cool or windy, gloves and a hat are also a good idea.</P>
<P>If you wear glasses, a retaining strap is a good idea. Retaining straps can be purchased at the Newton boathouse or at many sporting goods stores.</P>
