Lighted Boat Parades Adorn the Bay

The lighted boats have been cruising the Bay from Petaluma to South Beach and beyond. Rich Brazil sent us a note about Petaluma’s annual Lighted Boat Parade, hosted by the Petaluma Yacht Club and local sponsors last Saturday. They were expecting everything and everyone from the 65-ft Sea Scout ship to twinkly stand up paddleboards. Did you join the parade?

Up in Port Townsend, WA, The Resourceful Sailor, aka Joshua Wheeler, came across this resourceful use of an old sail.

Here are a few photos from the Encinal & Oakland YCs’ Lighted Yacht Parade held on December 6.

Did you sail in any lighted boat parades this year? Perhaps in Sausalito, or San Francisco, or Alameda? Or maybe you just decided to decorate your boat and not go anywhere? We’d love to see some photos.

Come on, folks, let’s get that Christmas spirit moving. Send your pics for all to enjoy. You can email them to [email protected], or you can upload them to the Sailagram page: latitude38.com/sailagram.

And please remember to include your name and YC.
