A 3 1/2 hour tour of Little Brewster Island and Boston Light leaves from Fan Pier in Boston. Once on the boat you are treated to a narrated harbor tour. You will be able to see Logan airport, harbor islands, and 3 other lighthouses.
Upon reaching Little Brewster Island, you will be greeted by Sally the lighthouse keeper, her husband Jay, and dog Sam. They will tell you about the history of the lighthouse and then you can explore the island. If you aren't afraid of heights (like I am), you can climb to the top of Boston light.

Cory climbed to the top and got some cool pictures.

Favorite thing: The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed.
Fondest memory: This tour can take about 50 people. Because of the rain there were only about 11 of us. Good thing too because the boat was small. All of us couldn't fit inside so we all stood outside in the rain. Brave souls were we.
