Let there be light!






Everyone had been talking for weeks about the famous Christmas Boat Parade held annually in Christiansted.. Saturday night finally came so Geoff and I went to check it out and what it was all about.
I think the entire population of St. Croix was there! It was busy, busy, busy - I was surprised we even got a parking spot!
The night started with the boat parade itself - contestants pay an enormous amount of money to participate and the fees go towards covering the cost of the fireworks which follow the parade.

I had to say WOW - some boats went all out with a cruzian flair - there was one boat that even had a mokko jumbie pinned all the way up high on it.

The parade went on for about 30 mins, and was followed by an amazing fireworks display!
