On the 4th of July at Catalina Inland (Two Harbors) they always have a boat (dinghy) parade and everyone decorates their dinghy's and prade around. Then they have "events" such as the blindfolded dinghy paddle race where they use the big river rafting inflatables and all the rowers are blindfloded except the coxwain who shouts out to the rowers where to go. Inevitably, when they shout "left' or "right" the rowers never know whether it means turn to the left or right, or the rowers on the left or right and it's a big free-for-all. Anyway, there are always a few people in the spectator dinghys who squirt water cannons on the rowers, who in turn, slap the water with their paddles so the spectator fleet gets wet. One year I had a bad fall and very bruised ribs and sternum (fall occurred when I fell through an open boat hatch after what I suspect were a few too many "Buffalo Milks" - the local drink). I was so bruised I could hardly move and was lying in our dinghy watching the festivities. I got completely soaked by the water cannons and water-slapping rowers and couldn't do anytjing but just "take it". As I recall, laughing hurt a lot too - more than any fall I have had on a bike.
