Heh, I wonder why.

We have a nice "winter holiday" parade here in Cape Coral also. Some
people spend huge amounts of time decorating and lighting their boats.

Last year we took everyone from our neighborhood out on the GB to
watch. We had a ring side seat and a great time.

Hey Bill,

One of these days, I'd like to meet up with you out on the Delta. I've only
got a 23' runabout, but I can catch fish while on it :- I don't get to the
Delta often enough.

I have taken my one of my boats out on the lake the day after
Thanksgiving if there isn't ice on the lake.

And even then a couple of times. :)

Supposed to get to about 82 today. Yesterday, went up to the Sac Delta
area to help in the Special Kids fishing day. Last year it rained at the
end of the day, yesterday, cloudless and about 75. Looking at lots of
boating fishing next week. Wife is going to Houston for her UH sorority
luncheon.

My boat is 21'. I normally do not go to the delta weekends. One of the
joys of semi-retired. Stripers are biting! Are you signed up at
www.coastsidefishing.com ?

I'm not signed up there, but I will shortly. I have my own business which
affords me the opportunity for mid week boating excursions on occasion :- I
haven't been to the delta on a weekend in years... too many drunk nutjobs
out there.

Hi Bill,

I went to www.coastsidefishing.com , and all the links there go to a search
portal page. IOW, there's nothing of substance there, and nowhere to sign
up. Are you sure that's the right URL?

Our 44th. annual Christmas land boat parade was last year here in
Kemah, TX, just South of Houston. Pix at:
http://www.kemah.net/ChristmasBP05.html
The 45th. annual will be Saturday December 9th. this year, leaving from
South Shore Harbor marina, out to Galveston Bay through the Boardwalk
area and back. Fun, fun!

I just finished assembling the calendar and events section for the Nov
1 issue.

Here in the Pacific NW we have several "lighted boat parades"

Sidney, BC, Canada has a lighted boat parade, takes about an hour to go by
at least.
