Summer BVI Trip is a GO!

We are officially setting up a special BVI trip in June of '08. This is in response to families and others who can only get away during school vacations. The dates are June 19 (Thursday evening departure) through Sunday, June 29. Except for the dates, this trip will be similar to the December BVI cruise except for the fact that the British Virgin Islands will be celebrating the Summer Sailstice as well. Please contact Bob to get on the list if you'd like to get out in June. Click Here for BVI Trip web page.
