Clear Lake Boat Parade

So on November 27th Scott comes home with an entry form for the Clear Lake Boat Parade and announces he would like to participate in the parade this year on December 8 (less than two weeks away).  Me being the very supportive wife replied "oh crap....."  - Scott invited at least 20 people to help decorate and ride the boat with us.  Me being the very supportive wife agreed to buy KFC for lunch and Subway sandwiches for dinner.  We spent all day Saturday Dec 1st creating a sail made of blue lights.

Saturday December 8th - friends show up to help install the lights:  Bert Wagster, James Williams, Patience Allison, Henry and Diana Dubois donated lights and sweat.

And we were off......Here we are in the parade

 

 

 

We went to the awards presentation and were happy to see the third and second place winners and thought WOW THOSE REALLY LOOK GOOD - WELL AT LEAST WE HAD FUN.  Figuring we had no chance of winning we cut up and had fun..

The presenter then said "The 1st place winner is boat #97 - Kooky Dance"  - being the very supportive wife I started laughing and looked at Scott said "we won" and he looked shocked like I have never seen him shocked before.    Being the very supportive wife I laughed all the way up to the stage and Scott followed me stating "you gotta be kidding me"

Now they are smiling.....

 

 

WE WON 1st PLACE - Sailboat 40 foot + division - Me being the supportive wife am very proud of the vision and effort of Scott Buckley!!!  Way to go Scott !!!!!!!


A big thank you to our decorating crew and our riding crew.....you all made it a very memorable event and could not have done it without you.
