    This reminds me of the boat that recieved the largest applause one year...

    It wasn't a 100+ foot yacht with 1000's of lights... it was a 10 year old kid with a 12 foot aluminum Sears boat and a single Christmas light at the end of a fishing pole.

    Go figure! :rolleyes:

    Hi,Carl.
    Thanks for the Christmas Boat Parade pictorial. It's so hard to take evening pictures, even with well-lighted boats, and specially if you are also on a boat. Great Job !!!
    Merry Christmas to you too !!!

    Hi Bill,

    Merry Christmas! We were anchored just north of Sunrise Harbor, but we didn't take the big boat. Instead, we took our neighbors 54' Sea Ray.

    Give my best to your family for the holidays. :)

    thanks

    Some great shots considering, I had the same problem with the slow shutter speed and I was on solid ground.

    Here are a few shots that you may have missed. Inc a few shots of the sports fish....... mine are a bit wobbly too!!!

    thanks for sharing these. i so much admire don davis for his innovative island acquisition. i liked to see the "status quo" all dressed up like that.
