New London CT - Sailfest boat launch?

[capslock118]

Has anyone here been to 'sailfest' in new london ct around the 4th of july? This year we want to take our boat, and I remember from years past there area hundreds of boats on the water to watch the fireworks show.

Has anyone taken there boat, launched, and pulled the boat back out same day? Any boat traffic issues at the launch sites? did you have to go early to ensure your vehicle and trailer would have a parking spot at the launch sites?

Thanks in advanced to anyone who has had the pleasure to experience.
