Day 126, December 5th, 2009
It continued to pour all night and the weather forecast for the day wasn't sounding promising at all. The four of us chatted on the dock after breakfast and decided we would stay put, watch the Christmas parade in the evening and move on the next day.

John and I walked to the convenience store about a mile away to get a loaf of bread in the morning and then a short walk on the beach. Not too many people about - just a couple of beach combers. There were some lovely birds though, all standing together, head into the wind!
We cozied up in the afternoon and played Scrabble. John was tickled pink with himself when he won!
The highlight of the day was the Christmas Parade. About 10-15 people started arriving just before 6:00 to stand on the dock just there. And shortly after 6:00 it began. We wished we had counted how many boats came by - it must have been at least 30, all shapes and sizes. They looked beautiful, all decorated with lights and lots had loud speakers for the Christmas music. What was most impressive was that the music and the lights were computer co-ordinated!!! We were told that some people hire professionals to get their boats set up. It was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed it all.
