June 11th -  Lake Lanier will be striving to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest raft-up in the world on June 11.   While many ASPS members will be on the ICW trip that weekend, there are also a large number of members who will have the opportunity to participate in this historic event.  Whether or not you decide to officially register, and pay $30 to be counted in the official record, there should be a lot to see and many surrounding activities for a lot of fun.  We’d like to make sure that the Atlanta Sail & Power Squadron is seen (safely, smartly and having fun!) and P/C Frank Taylor has agreed to fly our banner on Bear’s Den and act as the central communications point for bringing our members together at a meet point.  Please contact Frank if you plan to participate.
