Bagi ibu-ibu dan anak kecil dengan lahapnya menyantap bekal yang telah disiapkan dari rumah sambil melihat remaja-remaja berjoget dan orang-orang berperahu ke laut dengan disertai hembusan angin laut.Cukup mengesankan jika dilihat dari kejauhan berpuluh puluh perahu warna warni hilir mudik di tengah laut, tidak seorangpun tampak susah semua bergembira, berjoget, berpesta dan makan –makan bersama diatasperahu.
