Gayle & Eric Locke - Cruise Committee |
|
The first cruises have started the season with a bang. The talent of our members is truly amazing. If you haven’t signed up yet and don’t want to miss out on the rest of the fun, you need only contact the marina to make your own reservations. Just let them know you would like your well to be with the CRCA group. |
|
Knight’n Gayle will be leaving for a 6 week sailing trip to the North Channel in the middle of July. Give us a holler if you’re going to be in the area. If you have any questions regarding a cruise during that time, contact the cruise leader or Sandy Bousum. |
|
Have a great season! |
