life as part of an annual worldwide event commemorating their service. This

I’m currently coordinating with the Ships, on BVARCs participation for this
years event. If members are interested, let me know as there will be limited
space and likely no overnighting on the ships. Camping (sleeping in vehicles)
in Seawolf park is not permitted.
