Newport Beach - Balboa Harbor

[Note: See each Photo's Caption for Event]
After going to Dana Point and watching the boat parade and having a good time with my Big Boy camera we continued the boat lighting events with Newport. Clearly a highlight this week was the Oasis Sailing Club Annual Holiday Party and Boat Parade. I was honored to be asked to be the Master of Ceremonies again and spends a lot of time creating sailing questions that were going to be difficult enough for these seasoned sailors as well as fun holiday questions for the non-sailors in the group. We had a great time with fabulous food at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club (BCYC) as well as plenty of to drink since we sat with members of our wine/sailing clubs. The parade (over 100 boats) was better than ever (see some of the boats ... in particular, the Wizard of Oz one) (see 8 videos from the party and the parade).

We then went later in the week to our neighbor Steve and Deborah's holiday party and had great time catching up with neighbors on our block that we have not seen in a long time. Of course I can't forget our SPIN party/recording event https://www.facebook.com/reel/836020565846654.

Lastly, we got to light Chanukiah Candle #8 with Lee at the NYC Wall Street Menorah with him there and us at home lighting the candle (see photo).Read more
