    Re: Trump Boat Parade

    Yeah, a few at the marina went. One stayed on the side and watched, but it looked like a good time.

    Re: Trump Boat Parade

    It's been awhile since I've seen so many young women in barely there bikinis dancing and partying on boats. Looked like everybody had a good time. They had the San Joaquin Sheriff as an escort. I've only heard about one boat fire but it looks like it was a success. They are now starting to come back in for the evening. I"m going to sit on the fly bridge with a cold one and see how many naked pole dancing girls come by on the boats. We probably had around 700 boats and 4 ultra light aircraft buzzing the parade.

    We had a threesome of Blue Angels do a fly over, CG and State police choppers plus a plane with a Trump 2020 banner. I’ll try to find a few links.

    We had one on the Great South Bay the Saturday before July Fourth. Parade began on Massapequa and Patchogue. Met at the Robert Moses bridge. Over 1,000 boats, big and small. All good fun, flags flying, thumbs up and great fun. Cars were even stopping on the bridge, honking horns and hanging out the windows.

    Not one boat burned and good time for all

    I find it interesting to see the type of boats and the type of people participating. I am not surprised at the broad support, but I would wager that many other people would be.

    People who have boats work hard for them. Most boaters spend more on their hobbies than the average American earns.

    Even a jetski is a multi thousand dollar investment. That's what brings most boaters together.

    Re: Trump Boat Parade

    I think the sinkings are very much sensationalized by the media. On any given holiday weekend in Pensacola there is at least one (usually multiple) boat sinking or in distress. Of course you never hear about them on the news unless somebody dies. I mean let's face it, some people blow the dust off and drop the boat in for the first time in years without much thought. Also, it's a boat, things happen. I'm very glad nobody got hurt and that other parade participants were more than eager to offer assistance.

    I opened my news app last night and there were like 10 stories about boats sinking at trump parades. The only actual, factual info I could find involved a boat at lake travis in tx.

    The news stories are just there to sensationalize and shed a negative light on what seems to be very grass roots, very peaceful, rallies that do nothing but help and benefit local economies in a time when that type of financial input is dearly needed.

    And for the record, I do not care who you support or who you vote for. Hell, I'd love to see Biden rallies putting cash back into the economy as well.

    In the name of full disclosure, we were registered for the Destin to Pensacola parade but at the last minute the 16y/o's travel baseball team entered a tourney in Atlanta, so we were up there watching some killer baseball all weekend long. I was looking forward to the parade, but had a blast watching baseball instead! Damn what a great country we live in!!

    Re: Trump Boat Parade

    The sinkings were very much fake news, but what else is new?

    There were parades on both Watts Bar Lake (where I live) and Fort Loudon Lake, both on the Tennessee River. I'm sure there were others on the various lakes, but unfortunately I wasn't able to participate. I had to do my patriotic duty on Saturday to assist refugees from California who had enough and fled to Knoxville along with their gun safe which was in the nose of their moving pup and at dock height.

    I don't know what the final boat counts were for the local parades, but they were UGE! No accidents reported, no sinkings, no nothing except an event that brought people together. I mean who doesn't love a parade?

    Can we agree that the Lake Travis boat parade was a Titanic success?
