The FBYC Cruising Division is planning its calender for the 2006 season. We now call this to everyone's attention because there may be some among you who are not listed in the cruising@fbyc.net directory, are therefore not receiving the division's planning announcements, but would like to do so. If you are in this gruop, please contact Mary Spencer so that you may be added to the division's email directory. Below is a preliminary calender of events for everyone's review and input to George at burkeg@paraccess.com.
