RIVER CLOSING
A special notice to crews of moored and anchored vessels in the bay: during the Air Show period on the second weekend of Water Festival on Saturday, July 23, from 1 to 4 p.m., no people are allowed on vessels anchored or moored south of a line extending westward from the marina fuel dock. If you are south of this line, you need to dinghy your people to the day dock. If you don’t have a dinghy, then you will need to move your boat from this area or make other arrangements to remove all people from your vessel. Other boat traffic may take the western corridor except during the air show period. This requirement is for your safety.
