As over 50 boats of every make and model gathered near Regatta park at 4p.m. people waved back and forth between the crafts with occasional shouts of "Happy Fourth of July!"
A classic pontoon boat still emblazoned with "Blue Heron Landing" on its side lead the route around the lake. As all the boats trailed respectfully behind there truly was an air of happiness at being together again after so long an absence.
