On this cruise we'll present some good informative and interesting programs and will rely on our own freeper talent to do so. Our programs and workshops last cruise were fantastic and we didn't have a big name speaker at all.
However, FRN's regular yearly national conferences, such as FRiva last year in Nevada, always feature a prominent speaker and very professional workshops. The speaker at FRiva was Laura Ingraham, noted TV pundit, radio talk-show host and no-holds-barred tiger.
The cruises are an extra dollop of cream on the FR pudding........ a little more laid back, giving freepers an opportunity to meet and interact with each other, exchange political ideas and experiences and have some great fun in a relaxed atmosphere.
I enjoy reading your "sea tales" and your interesting plans for a future home on the bounding main. Let us know how things are going from time to time. With your sea-going experience, if you're able to make a future FRN cruise, we'll personally pipe you aboard and dub you "First Admiral of the Freep"!

They can't and won't get away for a week's cruise with a limited audience on board.
I thought that might be the case and that someone else had probably already checked it out. I just mentioned it, in case it had not already been considered. There may be some FReeper out there who has a great idea to increase attendance, but has not yet mentioned it. We all need to mention our ideas, no matter how obvious or unlikely they may seem.
