Meet 10am at Navy Marina . Cindy will take us all to Borden Light Marina so nobody needs to retrieve a car after the delivery.

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.
