Dawn Reinard of Sunset Gondola shot this photo of a few of us rowing in last year's Christmas Boat Parade in Huntington Harbour. We had a blast, leading the parade the whole time.

A series of posts which include the words "Adventures of the Lead Boat" posted up here during the second week of December last year.
The above photo comes from: "Adventures of the Lead Boat - the Row".
The GSVVM rowing club in Mestre tends to do some fun things for Christmas. This image comes from a procession where club members transport a symbolic Baby Jesus to a manger scene by boat.
Take a close look and you'll see the baby on the bow.

Not long after our expedition down the Hudson River in New York, I opened my mailbox to find a Christmas card from John Kerschbaum. To my surprise, it featured one of Nereo Zane's photos from one of the more wild days of rowing.
