We love a parade -- especially when it's on the water, at night, and has colorful lights

We're entering the magical season now, and part of the excitement is the amazing collection of lighted boat parades you can enjoy at this time of the year. If you have a boat, and lights, and the inclination to do so, you can even participate. The Gabber published a very useful schedule of all the boat parades that are planned up and down the coast, and now we have it taped to the refrigerator (well, not really. It's had to tape a computer to your refrigerator). Actually, you could do that if you go get a copy of the printed version of The Gabber. In any case, you really ought to take note of the schedule and plan to go see one (or more) of these colorful, and thoroughly enjoyable events. Or not. If you want to risk being called The Humbug Emperor. Scrooge. Up to you. ;-)
