Brian, The cruise officially began Saturday June 3 at noon and will continue as long as Saturday June 10. I do not know how many will stay all week. Some leave early or come late. Early June or late May seems to be the time frame, although there was some discussion about holding it in September. I went a couple of years ago and wish I could be there now, but circumstances were not favorable this time. It is interesting to see how others have outfitted their boats and learn tips from the group. Doug Kelch is the volunteer cruise organizer and he usually posts a message in the late winter or early spring. Shoot him an e-mail to get on the cruise mailing list. steve Steve R.

It's one of those "One of these days" sort of thing... I'd love to go one year, but it definately won't be this year! Best BG Brian Gilbert '79 M17 "Tiny Dancer," ex-"Stargazer"
