Nope and if it's anything like Seafair I'll be staying far away from Lake Washington, at least with my boat. LOL

There are too many "discourteous" boaters out on those days, IMHO. It suprises me you don't see more accidents at those times.

I was there for the flag ceremony. I am most likely one of the guys in the back that all look so much alike in our matching whites and blue blazer. Our club pulled it parade boat this year so we all could attend the services for one of our past commodores who passed away.

The parade itself is not as bad as Seafair since all the boats are going the same direction. I taken part in the parade the past 2 years before this as I have served as club officer,

Yeah I suspect opening day may be better for that reason alone. Seafair, and especially after the Blue Angels perform is chaos.
