Lighted Boat Parade Contest Winners

By Christine Weaver | December 22, 2017 | East Bay |

Most of the entries in our Lighted Boat Parade Photo Contest were taken at the Lighted Yacht Parade on the Oakland-Alameda Estuary December 2, including these three favorites:

Shantung got second place to Ketch 22 in the Sailing Division, but Fred Fago’s image of her is tops in our esteem. The theme was ‘A Winter Wonderland’.

There must be a boat under there somewhere, but this is very well done. This entry was "dedicated to all first responders."

Berkeley Marina and BYC co-hosted an inaugural Winterfest and lighted boat parade on December 9, its numbers no doubt augmented by sailors in the BYC Midwinters.

Fireworks added to the festivities in Berkeley at dusk on December 9.

The Latitude 38 office will be closed all next week, but the January issue plus the 2018 Northern California Sailing Schedule and YRA Calendar will be distributed on Friday, December 29. Happy Holidays to all our readers!
