GREENPORT, NY —For many who are disabled, the idea of getting out on the water for a day of breezes and sunshine on open seas is a faraway wish, difficult to imagine or navigate. This week, however, the “Impossible Dream,” a wheelchair-accessible catamaran, is once again returning to Greenport Harbor to make those visions a reality for five disabled individuals who will set out to explore local waters.
The Impossible Dream, a 60-foot, wheelchair-accessible catamaran that sails the East Coast, will be docked at Mitchell Marina on Thursday. Greenport marks the fourth stop on the vessel’s summer voyage, which will encompass 4,000 miles across 15 destinations.
On Thursday, the catamaran will be located adjacent to Mitchell Park at Mitchell Park Marina and also open for public access from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., for people to visit the vessel and meet the crew.
