The "parade" really takes place outside the mouth of the river. They
gather near the Ledge Lighthouse around 12:30 - 1 pm, and go from there.
It is quite a spectacle. Bring a camera!

If anyone plans to do this, Thames Yacht Club (my home base) has
transient moorings and dock space. One would presumably be able to
watch the parade from the club (although I have never been around for
this event). Dave

Also, especially for those who may be arriving Friday, New London
Harbor (Thames River) is 5 miles west of the Mystic River. The parade
on Friday should be a treat. In years past, the parade has exited the
Thames River and made a large loop out into the Long Island Sound
before going back in.
