Merry Christmas to all our Readers

It’s that time of year again: Christmas is upon us, and while many will be celebrating and sharing festivities with family and friends, there are many who are unfortunately facing a less than merry holiday season. We don’t want to be a ‘downer’, but please take care and extra time to acknowledge and check in with your neighbors this year. You never really know how much difference one moment of kindness, or even a heartfelt smile, can make to another person.

That said, we wish you all the best of fun and happiness for the days ahead, and we hope you get to go sailing!

The annual Lighted Boat Parade didn’t go ahead this year, but some sailors still got very crafty with the tinsel and the twinkles. The tall ship Matthew Turner lights up the Bay with her dazzling display.

As Friday is Christmas Day, we won’t be posting a new issue of ‘Lectronic Latitude, but we will be back on Monday, ready to share stories and photos of your weekend sailing adventures.

Please send us photos and tell us where and aboard what you were sailing, and who were your crew. Email us at [email protected]. And you get extra points for including sailing-Santa photos or decorated boats.

Merry Christmas, sailors!

Winter days are good sailing days on the Bay, and you don't even need to own a boat to enjoy them. Dana Dupar crewed aboard 'Irie' and sent us these photos.
