The annual lighted boat parade was today, and we watched from the rooftop of the Waterfront Brewery, next to Schooner Wharf. Parade was about 20 minutes late from the 8:00PM beginning time, and each boat took about 15 minutes to cycle in and out to the front of Schooner Wharf, the parade sponsor, for judging.
After three boats, our crowd had dwindled to about 50% of what had been present at 6:30PM. We also left.
Our recommendation is to speed it up for next year. The first three boats.
