Our Inaugural “Pack ‘n’ Cruise” Sail-abration!

The river was high, and so were our spirits for our inaugural Pack & Cruise down the St. Croix River. The weather couldn’t have been better as we boarded the classic paddle-wheel river boat, The Empress of the Stillwater River Boats fleet. Over a hundred folks enjoyed great scenery, a delicious dinner, and live 80’s music by Atomic Beat. The main attraction, however, was packing meals for our neighbors. Each “crew member” was teamed up with other sailors to pack for a short session below deck.

In all, we packed over 11 thousand of our Pizza Mac meals that were delivered to local food shelves. Not bad for a short trip up the river.

Thanks to all who participated. Be sure to tell your friends! We’re already planning next year’s cruise to be even bigger and better! Special thanks to the actual crew of the Jubilee II and the team at Stillwater River Boats. And, of course, thanks to our incredible volunteers who made sure everything was “ship shape.”

Finally, a super special thank you to YOU KNOW WHO for holding off the rain until we all safely made it to our cars for the drive home!
