Despite dark clouds and storm warnings threatening the iconic Port Huron Float Down on its 15th anniversary, calm waters ultimately prevailed as 500 participants safely drifted down the river to Chrysler Beach. Local authorities reported zero major injuries, assisting only 40 floaters who drifted off course due to light southern winds. Kayaks dominated the water this year as participants sought better steering control to avoid past weather mishaps, turning what could have been a washout into a smooth afternoon celebration.
