Summer Cruise 2008 - Three boats, C & C, Ebb N Ive II with Bernie, Amy, Quentin, Courtney & Quentin’s friend Chad and My Angel with Ed & Marilyn met at Kingston Marina on Wednesday August 13 and then the next day traveled together to Langley Marina where Wabbitt was waiting with Stan and Mary and grandson Tyler. On Friday, the four boats traveled to LaConner for the official start of the Summer Cruise.
