I love this time of year because it seems like every week there is something fantastic starting its new season. The weather is getting warmer (well, it's not warm today, but it will be beautiful this weekend), and there are lots of people visiting and exploring Salem.
Today I say, "Hooray for The Salem Ferry!" It is the best ride between Salem and Boston (the train is a close second, of course, but it's tough to compete with open water, coastal views, and a snack bar). Beginning Friday, May 23, the Nathaniel Bowditch is a high-speed catamaran that will carry you between Blaney Street Pier in Salem and Central Wharf in Boston in 45 minutes. Blaney Street is two blocks east of The House of the Seven Gables, and Central Wharf is adjacent to the New England Aquarium in Boston. More centrally located you can not be!
The Salem Ferry has a special spring fare of $9.00 per ticket until June 10, and there are cruise-and-dine promotions with Boston and Salem restaurants. For more information, visit http://www.salemferry.com/.
