Huntington Harbour Boat Parade

Sunday. December 8, 2013

Invited to Donna's for a small gathering to watch the annual boat parade. This year it seems that the amount of boast decorated was much smaller than last year. Weather was cold but not windy like last night.  She had the fire pit going and the patio heaters turned up. Donna made a great pot of chili and it really hit the spot on this cold night. 

All the houses in the harbour are decorated and it was quite festive. Apparently the association really gets on people who do not decorate, Some of the houses were decked out heavy the lights and decorations. Must be a lot of work.. Donna's place is on a corner of the main channel so you get to see the boats 4 times as they make their circuit of the harbour.

Can't list the wines that were brought - I brought a 2009 Clos Pepe Sparkling Pinot Noir. The rest of the wines I wouldn't cook with. Granted this was not the wine crowd but you would think that if you were invited for dinner that you could pop for more that $5 for a bottle. And these are all people that have lot more money than I do.
