I hope to get to your log program today And NYLXS is having a party to help pay for some of the expenses of these classes NYLXS is having a Summer Blast-off on Saturday Night at 6PM, August 24th, 2002 We are taking a wonderful Cruise on the USS Royal Sunshine Pier 2 Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn USA Cost for the Cruise is $15 and we sail into Manhattan to Music and Drink. This is a double decker boat, not a standard fishing vessel, women and children friendly. Everyone has a good time. We will meet at 6PM at Captain Walters, at 3033 Emmons Ave Brooklyn, on the Corner of Emmons and Ocean AVENUE (not Parkway) It's a great Brooklyn Watering Hole for generations of my fellow countrymen. At 6:45 we will move to the boat. The Cruise ends at 10:30, when we can continue, if we choose to, with an evening of Dance and Music at one of the local clubs along the waterway. Sheepshead Bay is one of the great Night spots of NYC, and everyone will love it.
