The 2012 lighted boat parade in downtown Chattanooga was this past weekend- wow was it great!
Coffee in pilothouse just after dawn heading down river to downtown:
Downtown Chatt:
Our boat tied up in downtown on one of the floating docks (much easier access than on the hard wall!):
Downtown waterfront as we head up river to parade starting point:
My good friend and fellow broker's 48' Jefferson:
Boats in the parade:
The Southern Belle riverboat and downtown:
Complete with firework show at the end of the parade:
and a FULL lock going back up river Sunday afternoon with 10 boats in the chamber from 32' to 45' in size. Went smooth with everyone cooperating:

It was a great parade and SO nice to do it in downtown. The waterfront on both sides had thousands of people all over watching the parade and fireworks. It was beautiful with the city lights and everything and what a great Christmas time with my wife and the kids. We are doing another small parade on Lake Chickamauga just upstream from downtown Chatt this coming weekend so any local TN River boaters (moonstruck!) PM me and I can get you the details!
