hey said it wouldn't work and couldn't be done, but Cynthia Kelly, Phil Chinook, and Jerry Maguire pulled it off. Twenty-nine boats arrived, crewed by 75 people, who partied the weekend away. Some rafted up, while others went stern in, to provide adequate room for all. A lack of utilities didn't stop the Cruisers!

Friday night was spent with a provided-cook out. Desert, was a cake celebrating the 46^th anniversary of Brian and Peggy Hewitt.

Saturday morning, all gathered for a continental breakfast. Most then went on a scavenger hunt on the trail to the lighthouse. Mitch Tunkel organized a trip to Stiltsville, which was hard to beat. A picnic lunch was consumed in the middle of nowhere. Dinner was the highlight of the weekend. It was catered with an ample supply of paella and roasted pig. The famous pirate group, headed up by Mitch Tunkel, supplied surprise entertainment.

The weekend ended slowly on Sunday morning. A gourmet breakfast was provided to all, including lox, bagels capers and the works - before departing to homeports. The weekend weather was perfect, with excellent timing as a cold front entered South Florida on Monday morning.
