Noosa Waters Christmas Boat Flotilla
Friday, 17th December at 6:30pm
Friday 17th December at 6:30pm is the time to join in or view from the shore, the now famous NWRA Christmas Boat Flotilla. As in previous years the idea is to gather with friends and neighbours and to welcome the coming of the Festive Season.
We have a fabulous waterway for our enjoyment, so as many as possible should take part in the Christmas Pageant. Boats are to be assembled by 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start on the eastern side of the bridge over the southern end of Saltwater Avenue and to follow last year's winner's boat. A map of the course can be seen here.
There is a prize for the best decorated boat, kayak, bathtub or anything that will create fun and festivities, so we suggest that you start planning your decorations immediately. Please involve your children or neighbour's children or grandchildren, as they will 'hit the mark' with their design ideas every time.
Remember, the view from houses, parks and bridges can be a fabulous photo opportunity for anyone not on a boat so all TAKE UP YOUR PLACES!!
Please do not overload your craft, but fill it up to its legal limit with friends and, of course, music and laughs. Have you space for others seeking a ride - share your good luck? A few glasses of bubbles will help considerably along with some finger food.
Please remember that skippers of boats are responsible for the safety of those on board and may also be responsible for any damage to others. Also do not have any unsafe temporary electric wiring that could cause a problem or at worst an explosion on your craft.
The 2010 Flotilla will be the 13th time that this Christmas Flotilla has been celebrated and with everybody's involvement it can be the BEST SO FAR!! If you have any questions on any aspect of the Flotilla, please contact Barry Maloney or Warren Burrows. Check back here in case of a reschedule for bad weather.
