It seems that boat cruises are suddenly the rage in the jam band community, however Donna the Buffalo was a year ahead of the game. The band has announced plans for the 2nd Annual Caribbean Cruise, which will set sail January 4 11, 2004 aboard the Norwegian Sun. Ports of call will include Jamaica, Conzumel, Costa Maya and the Grand Caymans. Last year, more than 800 fans referred to as The Herd joined the group in the Caribbean.
