PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Yacht Club plans a lighted boat parade Saturday, if the weather cooperates.
The parade will be Sunday if weather is too foul Saturday, said Commodore Randy Volker.
“We’re still looking at the weather,” he said Thursday.
“We could still be iffy on Saturday.”
If the weather both Saturday and Sunday is bad, “we’ll do it some other time,” he said.
The parade of boats decorated in holiday lights is planned to start in front of the yacht club at 1305 Marine Drive at 6 p.m.
It will proceed along the Port Angeles waterfront to Olympic Medical Center and return to the club.
The club will open at 5 p.m. for those who want to view the parade from there.
It’s not too late for captains to decide to participate, Volker said.
The captain’s meeting will be at 4:45 p.m. at the yacht club.
Boat owners and passengers are welcome to gather at the club after the parade for drinks and snacks.
For more information, check the club’s Facebook page or contact Volker at 619-884-4599.
