In December, for the 2 -3 weekends before Christmas there are boat parades at the harbors in Dana Point and Newport Beach. The "haves" decorate their boats and yachts and parade them in front of the "have-nots". It is a fun thing to go and see and sometimes we will take chili & cocoa, other times we get fish and chips on the pier. The crowds get crazy so this year Dan pulled one of his usual "schlitzurs" and got us onto the island on the other side of the parade. The parking attendant let us go into the yacht club parking lot (for free) and we had front row, un-crowded seats for the parade. We only go to the boat parade every few years. One time Dan & I went on a sail boat in the parade (courtesy of our friends Mike & Monica). It was sort-of boring. I think I would rather be a spectator with the "have-nots" and get to see all of the boats.
