Lights and Boat Shows

I have seen my fill of beautiful boat shows in both southern California, and in northwest Florida, when  I was growing up. My parents thought this was a lovely family outing. Now, what really was beautiful in particular were the Christmas boat shows with all the lights on the boats and the beautiful parade of the boats. Sometimes seasonal music was broadcast to the lookers. It seems that in those days people had more time to decorate and light up their boats for the joys of the season, and more time to go to the sea.

In recent times, I have not been to any Christmas boat show. Maybe because we live further inland from the sea, or perhaps we never get around to spending part of day to enjoy the boats in the bay or river. We really are not so far from the water, but there are always other things to do and other events to attend. We don't even go to all the events we plan on seeing.

I did take my family, not too long ago, to a remote control boat show on a local lake. It was fun watching people maneuver there little toy boats with their remote devices. That was a boat show for us.
