And then screaming women and angry yelling men.

WOW!! Yeah it really is an awesome event and great time on the water, but you have to have your head on a swivel. 2 years ago there were about 8 boats of people screaming at a couple backing down a 40' searay and slammed into a anchored parker. They had no idea they were in reverse. They did get arrested which was a plus. everyone was cheering as they got towed away. Love Folk Fest!
