One of the big traditions along the harbors of the Southern CA coast is the holiday boat parade. And one of the biggest parades occurs in Newport Beach. Rhonda and I enjoyed this particular parade from the deck of one of our Coast Guard patrol boats stationed in the harbor. The parade was very enjoyable, and the participants really go crazy decorating their boats. Some boats were definitely over the top, a combination of Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Rodney Dangerfield from Caddyshack. I particularly liked this sailboat, which had a simple but quite pleasing arrangement of holiday lights strong from their rigging.
