If it's December, it must be a boat parade


Right next to Summer, and Fall, and any other time when there are parties, the holidays are always my favorite time of year. This year is no exception. While the boys are missing the parties are not.

The Huntington Harbour boat parade took place this year on the weekend of December 8 & 9. It was a smallish turn out for parade participants with about 40 boats on parade. The last few years we've had more like 60 boats.Still it was fun.

As per usual, Rupperts and Vaughans both brought their boat over into the slips next to ours and the party was on. Since they both brought their small boats and we have this new aquatic mansion the party during the parade was pretty much on our boat.

The attendess were Rick & Marsha, Keith (Gloria in NY w Katie, shopping), Mark & Shanna Smith, Jim & Kathy Morley, Johnny Vaughan (EJ was sicko).

Following the parade which came to our channel first this year we adjourned to our house for some warmth, lasagna, and beverages. Very nice group of people and a delightful evening.
