WEEKEND: Boats in holiday lights to sail in parade Saturday

PORT ANGELES — A lighted boat parade is planned along the Port Angeles waterfront Saturday.

The boats will leave the Port Angeles Boat Haven at about 6 p.m. and travel east about as far as the area below Olympic Medical Center before turning around, said Steve DeBiddle, commodore of the Port Angeles Yacht Club.

A good place to observe the decorated boats will be City Pier, he said.

Boats will sail close to the pier during the parade.

Eight boats decorated in Christmas lights participated last Saturday evening in the first such parade in at least eight years, DeBiddle said.

“I anticipate about the same number” Saturday, he said.

Parades are also planned for Dec. 10 and 17.

“We used to do them about eight or 10 years ago,” he said.

“I just decided there was enough interest that we should give it a try again.

“It’s something nice to do for the community.”

For more information, phone DeBiddle at 360-477-2406.
