Susan Most can't believe her sister, Linda Lewis, is finally in Sarasota.
Most, Lewis and Darlene Enders are sisters from Michigan who haven't lived near each other in 30 years. Most and Enders have lived in the Sarasota area for years, so when Lewis and her daughter Keena Oatley moved down, they knew they wanted to go to the Sarasota Holiday Boat Parade when the time rolled around.
All three sisters were in attendance at Bayfront Park when the boats sailed through the marina on Dec. 8. Many of the boats played Christmas carols and boat riders danced for the hundreds of attendees that crowd the park and marina.
The winners of the boat parade for the private boats for sized 21 feet to 35 feet was, in first place: #19 Scooby Doos Express Fire #1. In second place for the same size was #8 Prana. The first place winner private for boats 36 feet and over was #20 Sticker Shock.
There was a separate competition for corporate boats. The first division, for corporate boats sized 21 feet to 35 feet was #7 Turtle Beach Grinch in first place, and #15 Thunderstruck in second place. First place was #1 Team Galati for corporate boats sized 36 feet and over and second place was #9 Golden Eagle III.
The most creative boat was Scooby Doos Express Fire #1.
