Here’s a link to an interesting post about the ‘hereafter’ for boats. It’s a scary place.

Christmas in July – Want to Help Light It Up?
Once again the Parry Sound Power and Sail Squadron is organizing a ‘Christmas in July’ ‘boat-by’ as part of the Canada Day celebrations in the Parry Sound Harbour.
This involves one or two dozen boats following each other into the harbour as a procession, fully rigged with lights. A bit like floating Christmas lights.
If you are interested contact John Mason, Squadron Executive Officer at:
705.342.1315, masonj@vianet.ca. Power Squadron membership is not required to participate.
Here are a couple photos from last year’s Canada Day celebrations. (Click for larger images.)
