Christmas Flotilla

December 5

Jean mentioned several weeks ago that she and a neighbor were going to enter a small boat in the annual Christmas Flotilla sponsored by the Friends of the NC Maritime Museum.

Realizing that they were probably in over their head with the small boat they proposed to decorate, I offered Eureka for their project.

They bought about a 1000 feet of Christmas lights and last weekend we all went out to the boat and decorated it.




Friday, we moved the boat over to the Morehead City Waterfront where the parade starts.


and Saturday, about 10 neighbors gathered for the big parade.


Most of the boats were decorated beautifully with all types of designs.  We didn't expect to win any prizes - and we didn't, but we sure had a great time.

I've only gotten one picture of Eureka in the parade.


Sunday, after taking down all the decorations, Jennifer, Clara and Jack joined me for a beautiful offshore sail before taking Eureka back to the dock.

Jennifer and Jack enjoy the sail.
