Pillar Point Lighting of the Boats, 2008

It was cold & windy at the annual Lighting of the Boats in Pillar Point Harbor. The lights and the sounds of holiday music were inviting enough to coax Michael & I out of the car, and I snapped a few shots before I turned into a popscicle. A full moon peeked through the clouds teasingly, then emerged in large yellow glory, almost stealing the show. 

Santa was there….and there…and there. He was sitting on his throne, with a line of expectant children waiting to have their pictures taken with him.  He was also a "Celebrity Chef" on the Lyndie…

...and his "mechanical" counterpart was performing atop the Barbara Faye.
