With the Fourth of July falling in the middle of the week, many boaters began arriving the last week of the month in order to secure a mooring. The harbor was very festive with hundreds of flags and red, white and blue decorations. The Dinghy Parade was quite a spectacle, enhanced by several boats and dinghies participating in large weapon water fights.
