For this parade, the Duck boats did not go into the water (Charles River) but on ttheir regular routes they do. I believe that most if not all of the problems have occurred in other cities and Boston's are heavily regulated and regularly inspected so I don't believe that they have had any problems for quite awhile. We have done the tour both in Boston and in Portland, Maine and it has always been a fun time.
I've seen crowd estimates ranging from 1 to 2 million spectators for the parade and based on what I could see on TV I would believe the higher number was likely correct .
This weekend will be relatively quiet except for a graduation party on Sunday for one of Rich and Dianne's grandkids and celebrating our grandson Brandon's birthday.
Monday will be an early one with an 8am appointment for a pre-surgery meeting and another session with the surgeon's assistant.
