I bet the parade was just beautiful! I saw pictures of the tall ships and I'm sure they were breathtaking in person.
About that guy; There's one of those guys with an attitude disfunction in every crowd. Hope you enjoyed yourself around him.
Parade of Sail

The Parade was a welcome sight back to Cleveland. I guess the CBP lead boats were moving a little slow and held up the line at first. The USCG straightened that out and the parade picked right up. It was hot with little wind. - Speaking of wind, the politicians showed up. Dennis the Menace as well. - The event this year has moved from Voinovich Park to CCPA's dock 28 and 30. It is not as romantic as Voinovich at North Coast Harbor. - They had some longshoremen helping out catching lines. One of them had a huge attitude and accused a crewman on a ship of throwing the line at him hitting him in the head...Ya, he did because he was a line catcher! He had a very foul attitude all day long and refused to work the rest of the day. Security & LE were getting tired of him. He was about 30, no IQ, six foot two, and bullet proof. Anybody seen him before? - Sea gulls have taken over the roofs of the warehouses on Dock 30 & 32. The Tall Ship cannon fire were sending them into the air is masses.
