Boot Key Harbor Lighted Boat Parade

10 December 2018
Santa Claus arrives in Boot Key


This past Saturday a Christmas Boat Parade was held here in the harbor. We had a front row seat for viewing where we are moored so we invited a few people over for drinks and snacks to watch with us. The other boats joining us were Godspeed, Nereus, Never Say Never and Vagabond. The parade was nice and we had fun.

Every year the boaters here in the harbor take up donations in order to buy bikes for the needy children in the area for Christmas. As well as cash donations, boaters donate items for auction. The auction was held on Sunday. David bid on and bought a few items, including a Christmas present for Nick. Between cash donations and money raised at the auction the marina plans to purchase 40 bikes and helmets.

Update: Enough money was raised to buy 78 bikes. Way to go Boot Key cruisers.
