We made the trip up to Lee's Mills yesterday to watch the parade. Past years, there were many steamers that participated in the parade, and that is what is was, a parade. A steady stream of steamers.
Yesterday, the parade was somewhat disorganized, and not a large number of boats participated. Those that did were wonderful to watch and I thank them for their participation. One in particular had a steam whistle with which he could make a seemingly infinite variety of sounds. Reminded us of someone with a slide whistle. Another had a cannon mounted on the bow, which when fired was a booming success.

Great day on the lake, fun watching those who did participate, and will go back (hopefully) next year. Wish we could go again next Sunday.
