Bill has a reservation at the Doubletree Norwalk Thurs night through checkout Sunday morning. Cindy will arrive Friday and leave Sunday. Allie, Luke & Matt will be staying on the boat. I will not bring the v-berth cushions for this trip.

Note that parking is allowed for 1 car at Cedar Point YC. It may make sense to select one car we can stow gear in to be there, and everyone else use the shuttle. Cindy can use the shuttle to the hotel so will not park at CPYC.
