There will be a heightened visibility for SQL Cruisers past, present, and future at the Professional Association for SQL Server Summit this year in Seattle.  Swag will be a part of that visibility and even you Landlubbers will have a chance to sport some SQL Cruise finery!

Here is the deal, in your most creative fashion, construct a query using valid Transact-SQL syntax (as demonstrated below) to explain what you think encaptulates the SQL Cruise experience.  Submit your entry in the comments for this post.  A winner will be chosen from a pool of previous Cruisers as well as a separate winner from those whom have never taken the plunge and sailed with us.  Each winner receives swag to sport while at the PASS Community Summit this year.  Contest ends 9/30/2011.  Winners are announced on 10/4/2011. (But all SQL Cruisers are winners already!)

Stay tuned here for SQL Cruise events at the PASS Community Summit.  Details next week…
