2011 Bainbridge Island Christmas Lighted Boat Parade

Last Monday December 12th, Bainbridge Island Yacht Club had a Christmas Lighted Boat Parade coinciding with Argosy Cruise's annual "Christmas Ship" visiting Bainbridge Island. We were in attendance and had a great time! It was a beautiful night and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to do before the holidays next year.
