50 Best Yachting Towns

Here’s a little nautical history…. The Queen Mary’s maiden voyage was on May 27, 1936. Happy 75th! She served as a military vessel from March 1940 – September 1946. She now calls Long Beach California her home.

For those of you in New York, Freeport will be having its Nautical Mile Festival on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Looks like a fun event.

The National Weather Service has a wind advisory in effect for the Santa Barbara County area through 9:00 pm tonight. That means you need to be extra careful on the road and on the water. Be safe folks.
