Parade of Lights on San Diego bay

Are you looking for something to do on Sunday evening?  Here's where I'll be:

The Parade of Lights happens on two weekends - this Sunday, December 12, 2010  and next Sunday, December 19, 2010, from 5:30 PM until about 9:00 PM, on the San Diego Bay.  You'll see fireworks over the bay at 5:30 to start the parade.  The lighted boats will start to travel past Shelter Island at 5:30pm to Harbor Island at 6pm to the Embarcadero at 6:30pm to Seaport Village at 7pm to the Ferry Landing on Coronado at 7:30pm.

Most of the boats will be sail boats and power boats, but here's a picture of the kind of boat I'll be on:

The parade is fun to watch - and if you go this Sunday, maybe you'll see me!
