No Longer Spectators...

When this boat pulled up right in front of us to allow someone to jump ashore for a pit stop, Jimmy asked if they minded if we came aboard. When they were ready to pull back into the parade, they assumed we’d get off. No surprise that Jimmy asked if we could stay. We had to promise to stay until the very end, but that wasn’t a compromise to us as we loved the idea of finally being participants instead of just spectators.

We were handed beers and danced along with everyone else.

I occasionally stopped dancing long enough to admire the views and take some photos.

Everyone was very friendly and thought it was great how excited we were to join them.

We regularly had to duck under the low bridges.
