That's too bad, Brandon.
I had a similar thing with visitors over Memorial Day weekend. I wanted to take them on the River Otter, that little 24 seat boat that shuttles between the Garden Highway restaurants and Old Sac.
I did the Otter once before with company and it was a big hit. I enjoyed it too, seeing things like the levees and I-5, Discovery Park and the Tower Bridge from a river perspective. The boatride took about an hour and only cost six bucks.
We picked Virgin Sturgeon to eat because the Otter stops at their dock. But the boat never came! I didn't know the company had been sold and the new owner was having problems and River Otter didn't start up this summer.
A couple weeks later the Bee wrote that the River Otter was going to try and start up in July. I haven't heard if they did but their old website is still up.

Anyone, sorry no fireworks for your visitors. Hope the food and company were good at least.
