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.
