[quote ocean]Exactly how many more boats are needed for the veterans.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]That number is not known at this time. What we hope to achieve is at least 25 boats and we are at 16 at present. Twenty five boats would allow us to host approximately 50 veterans with an average of 2 per boat. [/size][/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]If we have less than 50 veterans, we would have more boats with just one veteran on board.[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4][/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]We do not have any pontoon boats volunteered at this time. We do not know how many wheelchair bound veterans we will have, but a few are expected and a pontoon boat would be ideal for these folks.[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4][/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]So, we are nine short of 25 boats which I feel would probably cover us. And if we can get 2 or 3 pontoon boats in those nine, we should have all our bases covered.[/size][/#800000][/font]
