Anchor's Aweigh! Next Stop: New Orleans!


The dates are locked, and we are closing a deal in the next few days with a hotel not far from the French Quarter. It's time to gather the crew! Pass this message on to all of your shipmates...especially those who aren't on social media too often!


All Officers and Crew from Plank Owner to Decom Crew are welcome to attend! Registration will open soon! We will be posting updates here on the site and on facebook and instagram so follow us for the special hotel rate and for registration forms.
