I will never forget the day when I was about 8 or 10 years old on my grand parents boat and some idiot motored through the folk fest fleet at a fast clip in his big steel schooner. He ended up punching his bow sprit right through the back of a 60 foot motor yacht. The sound was amazing. Crunching fiber glass, splintering wood. Snapping forstay. 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!
