St. Croix Boat Parade Dec. 2015

The island population was out in force last night.

Families, families everywhere.

St. Croix really knows how to party.

Children thrilled to the sight of Mocko Jumbies

who did their best to entertain the crowds.

There was a lovely heart warming vibe at the parade.

People from all over the island come out and crowd

the waterfront hours

before the show starts.

Small boats tease us while we wait

for darkness to set in.

Then the fun begins

and the big boats

line up

to take

their turn

motoring

past

the

waiting

crowds.

The SUPs

make a delightful

addition to the show.

The boats

did two turns

around the

Cay and

then the

fireworks

started.

This

year

they shot

them off

from

Hotel

on the

Key

and

it

was

spectacular.

The show

went on

and on

and the

crowd ooooooooddddd

and aaaa

aaaaaaadddddddddd.
