I’m getting a good sized power bank with usb outlets, some led rope lighting and fake neon signs and plugging them in. then zip tying it to the arch of our boat and joining the party!

If I wasn’t working so much this time of year at our lobster company I’d get more creative but what the hell, just being in the Boat parade is a blast. So much fun!

Here’s some links to our setup this year-

These rope lights have a 50% off coupon, sync to music beaing played and they are prime shipping which means I should get them within 2 days! Link to purchase here- https://amzn.to/3KWwRmE

Neon Bar Sign. This is 20 inches wide and also runs cool to the touch.

Crabmeat is my favorite seafood even though they’re a lot of work to shuck. Crab cakes are really easy to make with mostly ingredients you probably already have in the pantry. YouTube any crab cake recipe- they’re all good! I did mine in the air fryer 15 minutes at 375. I highly recommend this method

I’ll never forget the day I showed up to work over 30 years ago and the Peavey boys had a pickup truck bed full of bluefish- loose and without ice the day following the Lan’s Cove Bluefish Tour
