I was asked to train another captain so she could be checked off on Sky Lee. It was a chilly day but not frigid. Only a few ice patches floating here and there. We were surprised to see Sky Lee still had holiday decorations, so we took those down when we returned to the slip. LOL.

New Years Day on Ego Alley
My last captain shift for the holiday season was on New Year's Day when I was Captain Mrs. Claus of the Jolly Express. I really tried to stay out of the way of all the sailboats participating in the Hangover Bowl. One of my scheduled tours was starting just as all the boats were jockeying for starting position (or so it seemed). It was tough to stay out of the way! This photo shows the bow (and red nose) of Miss Anne coming down Ego Alley at the end of my tour as a few of the racing boats were finishing in the distance.

Mrs Claus on Jolly Express
Worked two back-to-back Jolly Express shifts as Capt Mrs. Claus, just before Christmas. Told the kids that Santa was very busy at the North Pole and he needed me to run the Jolly Express.

Making dreams come true aboard the Jolly Express
Such fun being Captain Mrs. Claus today as we launched the Jolly Express season. So wonderful to bring smiles to faces, both on and off the water.

Passed Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse. Gray dreary day relocating BB to go on the hard for the winter. Appropriate for sadness at the close of sailing season. Refueled at ALM.
