"we came in with the least amount of drama of any of the boats. That’s when I realized my family had become a crew and it made me quite proud."

Proud indeed. You should be.

It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Great write-up. It sounds like you all had fun.

I've always wanted to go on a B.E.E.R. cruise but so far life has gotten in the way. I'm following the Facebook page now so maybe next year I can arrange to come along.

I see it written B.E.E.R. I see it written BEER. Is this an acronym, a place, a suggestion :?:

It looked like a fun cruise, but I’ve got a bald spot from scratching my head wondering.

It's an acronym and it is written both ways now. Originally it (almost) always had the periods in it. I've forgotten what all of the letters stand for but I think it was Backwoods Environmental (something) Rendezvous.

I'm not on Facebook, and I was never that interested in figuring out what the acronym meant, so thanks; now I know.

Just trying to keep the bald spot small.

Thanks Jim,

Is that all that's left of the original website?

I always figured they came up with the words for the acronym after they decided on a name. Thanks for filling in the missing word.
