[Alberg30] capacity / Lights Parade

[J Bergquist]

Brian,

We were there. We only went into ego alley 1 time, because the first 
time around, they didn't allow us in. Entrance to Ego alley is limited 
because of space restrictions.

Anyway, we had colored lights run up the fore- and backstays, a white 
burgee with the red letters 'SJC' (for St. John's College) in the 
foretriangle, and white lights around the lifelines. We were tied up at 
SSA (Severn Sailing Association) in Eastport with the lights on after 
the parade, until about midnight.

Thanks for coming out and watching. I am sorry you missed us. We were 
not in the brochure, but we were in the parade!

By the way, it was a LOT of fun, and I highly recommend it to anybody 
who is borderline considering doing it next year. What a blast!
