In recognition of the extraordinary circumnavigation by Ben Gray and
his sons, some people has expressed an interest in greeting the boat
as it arrives in Vancouver B.C. on August 11th. The current plan is
to have Idlewild arrive at a marina on the south arm of the Fraser
River.
What a great idea!
It's a chance to greet and meet Ben Gray and to see the amazing Idlewild.
It will also be an opportunity to meet other Listees, to put faces to
the names we see on postings. If you're anywhere near Vancouver, put
August 11 on your calendar for an afternoon of fun marking a
significant achievement.
I've booked flights and will be there for sure.
Do we bring champagne or beer, Scott? Is this a shoreside party on
the dock after Idlewild ties up or can we form a small flotilla to
escort her in?
