Ok, so far we have 17 responses with 8 intending to come by boat. That's about half of the total original responses. I feel pretty good about the turn out. There are a couple of things working against us and I think we can probably work towards clearing them up in the future. I'll talk to the harbor master (Beth) again on Monday and get the final contact details forwarded to you all. She had originally stated that having all of the reservations made and paid for by March 3st would be a good goal. She can work mooring ball and slip reservations.
