We also thank the 56 Golfers that participated in the Tourney as well as all those who helped with running it and the administrator of the course as well as the ones there that helped make it a success.

Thanks also to “What’s Up San Carlos” for helping us get the word out.

Where to watch the Annual Lighted Boat Parade?

When: December 24th (Christmas eve)

Where: Anywhere along the water between the marina and Charly’s Rock.
A great place to watch it from is the little Malecon beside Charly’s Rock.
A water front restaurant would also be an excellent choice.

Danny will be at La Palapa Griega on Christmas Eve for a great view of the Boat Parade.
