It was exciting to have July 4 celebrations in full swing, again. As per tradition, members of Ship711, many for the first time, proudly marched in the Balboa Foot Parade. It was a worthy start to the day.
After the march, Scouts returned to the Sea Base and boarded The Del Mar to join the Boat Parade. Our boat, like most, was decorated in red, white and blue, and the parade formed a joyous, impressive sight for the many spectators lining the shores of the bay. Everyone was smiling and waving, the weather was perfect, the seas were sparkling, and we could not have asked for a better way to celebrate this very special day.
One of the best things about July 4 is that families can join their Scouts on the Del Mar and this year in particular we had a great turn-out. It truly was a family day, in all senses of the word, and already Ship711 is looking forward to July 4, 2022.
