Good afternoon everyone. This is Joe and I’m getting ready to finalize my list of boats to send to Festevents for this year’s event. Whether you’ve already responded to me or not, please let me know if you’re interested in joining us for this HUGE event. Email me at [email protected] with your name, phone number, boat make, model, length, and name, and the days you can be there. No previous experience is necessary, but I would appreciate if some of my veterans could return.

Safety Boat family, I was just informed that the court date for David Shourds is moving to the right. I will let you know when it will happen. Keep David in your prayers. HOPEFULLY he’ll get a bond hearing and will be able to get out until the trial.

Good afternoon captains and friends. This is Joe, and I just got home from a meeting with Karen Scherberger regarding her needs for the upcoming HUGE event. By the way, she has said that we will be known as the Safety Boats again!

First off, the date this year for the event which will include Harborfest begins on Thursday, 18 June (not everyone will be needed), and the Parade of Sail (including a Blue Angels flyover) on Friday, 19 June. It will continue through Tuesday, 23 June, but most of the activities wrap up on Monday the 22nd.

Some changes from a traditional Harborfest includes two nights of fireworks, Friday night with one barge, and Saturday with two barges. Other than the Parade on Friday and the two nights of fireworks, there will be NO water events.

Venues for events ashore will run from Waterside through Midtown Point near Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

I am looking for captains and mates who can come and participate. If you’re interested in returning to help out, please message me (Joe Ferrara) or email me at [email protected]. I’m looking for a BUNCH of boats, and if you’re a veteran of Harborfests past, or want to start with us this year, let’s talk.
