Our family thoroughly enjoyed it. We certainly don't know how you manage it but you announced the Santa message exactly in front of our home. It couldn't have been more perfect!

Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 03:07:14 +0000 Dear Santa and the other BYC lighted boat parade captains and elves, I just moved to Manette this summer, right on the shore. I can't tell you how thrilling it was to be surprised by your fabulous parade. It brought out the child in me. I just loved it! Thank you so much for spreading such wonderful cheer. I look forward to it next year. Merry Christmas, E.B. (Shore Dr.) Saturday, December 18, 2004 10:02 PM To: bycwebteam@bremertonyachtclub.org BYC, thanks for the wonderful lighted boat parade. We loved it. We just moved to Chico Way this summer so this is the first time we've seen the parade. My family really enjoyed all of the lights. We were the folks with the boathouse with lights and a large star. Next year I'll invite more friends and family to cheer you on. > Happy Holidays to you all, J.H. CHRISTMAS CHEER: Thanks for boat parade To the Editor: We just returned from watching the Bremerton Yacht Club's Christmas Parade of boats. What a wonderful gesture by all who took part. It was enjoyed by a large crowd at the Silverdale Waterfront Park and many from along the way who rushed to Silverdale to see any they missed. Thank you, Bremerton Yacht Club; we hope to enjoy you again next year.
