WSB, have you come across any water taxi and/or bus ridership numbers from the parade? I’m curious how it compares to normal.

Someone else asked in another thread, and as I told them, I already have the Water Taxi inquiry out, as it was a record-setting day 12 years ago! Will publish a separate story when the info’s available.

Thanks for sharing and posting all the beautiful sunrise and sunset photos lately! I admire the sunrise photographers because I am not a morning person but love to see the sunrise even if by lovely photos :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
