I'm not a fan of "big crowd" events, and I went to my last concert years ago.
When going to a big crowd area, one can often position themselves to be on the sideline, or out of the way and not get messed up in the thick of things.
We have a 4th of July fireworks event that has several coves to hide in and still get a great view. Most boaters just crowd together.
There's NO way I'd get even close to that Portland event.
As for the captain, clearly guilty as charged.
And as much as I like the CG, they were a complete failure at this event and should also be held accountable.
As for the boaters, perhaps some could be charged with obstruction, but at anchor, I doubt they could be charged for BWI (at least they can't in FL).
