Sail-e-SUCCESS!
The Sail-e-bration Drive Thru Event this week was a tremendous success, with approximately 250 vessels (vehicles) and an estimated 650-700 passengers and animals onboard! It was such a joy connecting with so many people live and in person! Watch for details about more in-person events.
