After yesterday's meetings, we had the opportunity to take a cruise around Mission Bay. A light meal was served for the two-hour cruise and it served as a meet and greet for those who were able to attend. The weather was beautiful; cool but not cold, and it was quite enjoyable to spend some quiet time on deck, watching the scenery go by. For those who preferred to socialize, drinks were available and there was plenty of space inside.

This morning it was back to the grind, starting with a plenary meeting to discuss the Strategic Plan. After that, we broke up into smaller groups, each with a mission to discuss the four areas of concern developed by the steering committee. These groups met today and will meet tomorrow, hopefully defining the four areas more completely.

I can't help but think we're doing this backward, though. I think that a better method would be to spend three days in work, then the last two days should be reserved for having fun, instead of the way it works now.
