Preparations are afoot for today’s Sailors’ Noel at our club

or in Frenchland what’s called

Reveillion

(the celebration on Christmas Eve when families celebrate into the wee hours

awaiting the arrival of Père Noël)

Last year, our first year with R.E.D. and at our club

we won second prize for the best decorated boat.

(see link for the festivities 2013)

It’s a really fun event with club members stopping by

for a sip, a nibble and a chat.

…a gazillion balls to hang…

 

…and lights to string…

 

 

…in the end she was pretty…
…we even decorated our neighbour’s boat…
…R.E.D. in all her splendour…
