Heard from several of you and got some great feedback. I also talked with Class of '88 who did three events and said it was a bit much (but we can do whatever we want, just letting you know the input).
Some potential drawbacks for a boat cruise:
Only two hours--we board about 6:30, it leaves about 7, back about 9 and we have to get off the boat. As someone put it "Heck, graduation took longer than that!"
It leaves the dock--if for whatever reason (late babysitter, can't park, traffic, etc.) you miss the boat, well then you miss the boat...
Some are not as fond of the water as others--"Sallie, I am scared to DEATH to get on a boat, please don't have it on a cruise."
Financially, it's a HUGE downpayment and we have to put that down before they will hold any date for us.
Weather concerns--if it rains that day, the boat will be wet or if it rains that evening we will all be down below in a very small space.
All of that being said, I am leaning toward not doing a boat cruise. If a lot of people really have their heart set on doing that, we can look into it as an option still, but I think it might be safer to look for a venue that will not have the above mentioned pitfalls.
Any feedback? (You can send it to me on email if you don't want to post here.) Sallie B.
