Meet 10am at Navy Marina or  10:30 at Borden Light Marina per assignments in crew list.  

We'll get delivered in one car to BLM  so no cars are stranded.

Everyone bring a water bottle Bill will have sandwiches and snacks.  Beer and seltzer are in the reefer.

Should be a nice cruise from Borden Light to the Navy Marina.
