Northern bound boat parade

Well, it's official. The parade of boats is now headed North.  A lot of northerners use the intracoastal waterway as their interstate . In the fall you will see hundreds of yachts headed to their southern homes,  Now it's time to head back north before the weather is miserably hot .  You will see as many as 15 at a time.

Most of the Marina’s in the NY Area have there moorings and dock space ready from April 15 - October 15 give or take a 1-2 weeks longer or so depending on the weather. The birds come North first, then the boats.

Actually Steve, there is a lot of people in the ocean.  I believe the Canadians are usually the first to test the waters, However with spring break going on, there's a lot of college kids here, and they don't care.  For a lot of them, the goal is to see who can cover up the least. And please understand,

I AM NOT COMPLAINING  !!

just another perk to me !! 

I've gone from being the lifeguard on the beach to being just another old man enjoying the sights. 😂

Michael, I think you left one word out of your quote above.  I think it should have read:

'I've gone from being the lifeguard on the beach to being just another DIRTY old man enjoying the sights'

I could be wrong but I kinda doubt it.
