There will be a reception cruise on Tuesday, May 27th, 2014. The boat will Leave from Rovinj harbor. We have scheduled an hour between the end of the day’s presentations and the boat’s departure to allow ample time for attendees to get from the Island Hotel Istra to the harbor. The boat will leave at 13:30. Average afternoon temperatures in late May are 20 - 26°C (68 - 79°F) so be sure to wear appropriate attire. We will take a 1 hour 30 minute cruise from Rovinj harbor to Viking restaurant near the end of Lim Channel. There will be light refreshments on the boat with lunch at the Viking restaurant. The Viking Restaurant if famous for its seafood but if you do not wish to eat seafood please email robertson@marine.rutgers.edu so we can ask the restaurant to prepare accordingly. If you are vegetarian or vegan please note that as well. We need a final count by Wednesday, May 21, 2014.
