BRMSA'S 2021 MEMORIAL DAY CRUISE

When Memorial Day weekend 2021 arrived, so did high winds, rain, hail, and chilly temperatures. Cruise captains Jeff and Carla Pyle turned the cruise into a land event, gathering two nights in the Captain's Lounge at Spring Cove Marina, where cruisers munched on patriotic appetizers, wore red, white and blue, played games, won lots of cool prizes, and best of all, got to visit with one another without having to wear masks. Hallelujah!
