Hi Dennis,

We won't have a date for the 2006 Beacons cruise until the Spring (probably mid-May).

When we first created the cruise, we kept it away from the maritime festival to avoid parking and crowding problems. Then one year they moved the festival date to the same weekend as our cruise. It worked out well, giving people more to do during their time in Greenport (essentially giving people more for their money) so we kept it there. I'm not sure if that tradition will continue next year, but I will mention your concerns to our events people.

Thanks for all your support. We'll get you on that boat yet.
