Default anything that floats...

I've also seen this several times... from land AND from sea. My wife is from Gloucester so we used to make a weekend of it every year (the greasy pole runs both Sat and Sun, and there are boat races, a parade, and general all out hooligan-ism.

One year 4 of us loaded into my Coleman Crawdad with a cooler full of, um, refreshments, fired up the trolling motor, and put putted out to watch the festivities. I can't believe we didnt sink. It seemed like a good idea at the time! It was the next year or so that I bought my first real boat, what a difference that made.
