Last year (2009) we practically froze in out first outing with our decorated boat – 25 degrees and high winds put wind chills in the teens as we plodded outr course.br /br /This year, I was overly cautious as decorating day came – forecasts were for cold weather and possible snow on parade day so I decided to pass on this year’s parade.
As you might expect, parade day was warm and sunny with almost no wind! We ended up watching from the Clear Creek launch ramp as beautifully decorated boats cruised past without us. Oh well. maybe next year we’ll get it right.
