Each of us have our individual calendars and reasons why one date may be better than another. Please note that this is a preference poll and not an election since several other factors (including hotel costs and availability) must be factored in.
In discussing these dates, it was noted that:
-May 14, 2017 is Mother's Day.
-The USSVI convention is usually held the first part of September and many of our shipmates also try to attend that.
Of course, there is also that Betty (my wife) always accused me of being a fair weather husband since I was never in Charleston in the hottest part of summer nor the coldest part of winter.
Take a look, let us know if you have a preference. Relatively short turnaround on this one, please.
