It's that time of year

It is that time of year again.  It is getting colder the wind is blowing and the rain is starting to come down.  Rich got out the Christmas lights and decorated me, today.  I have a Santa, a spiral Christmas tree (with a star on top) and a wreath on my stern and there are lights on my railings and hand holds, of course red lights are on the port side handhold.  A number of Rich's friends asked him when he was going to decorate me, I guess people look forward to the season, for me it is just time sleeping in the cold Cape May water.  Salty Susan, a 50 ft Ocean fishing yacht down the fariway from me, told me that her owner was going to decorate her this year, we will see.  I don't want to win the title of best decorated boat in the marina by default, again this year. With the timer tthe lights will go on each night, until Rich takes them down, after New Years.
