If you are interested, Cdr Nick Montalto has 26 tickets. Email him at nick.montalto@comcast.net. He went last year and it was awesome! Food, drink and boat were great. This event is worthwhile even if you don't have a particular interest in navigation. The view of the city coming back at night is worth the trip. The Commander would like to see a noticeable MLSPS presence on the cruise.
