Summer is in full swing down by the river, heat waves, storms and all! And a big part of summering in the Rumson-Fair Haven area is all about hanging out down by the river — on the dock, on a little strip of sand, or sailing away with your River Rats.
It’s that longtime rat pack by Fair Haven standards. Kids bond, learn how to sail and set a course for lifetime memories in their hometown.
Summers, since 1955, a group gathers at the end of Battin Road in Fair Haven to learn how to sail and bond. You’ve gotten a glimpse into those summer days down by the river with the good rats before.
This is a reprise of a more expansive shot with more rats and scenery.
It’s the Retro Pic of the Day circa 1970s; and it’s brought to us by RFH grad Marc Edelman.
Recognize anyone? Not in it? Rats! Remember what the requirements were to be a River Rat? River Rats or Arrowhead? Where were you as a kid in the summer? How about your favorite riverfront spot?
