Indian Rocks Beach Florida | This Year’s Holiday Boat Parade was Windy and Magically Wonderful in 2007
December 19th, 2007 Categories: Boating, Community News, Pinellas County, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Waterfront Living
Indian Rocks Beach Holiday Boat Parade is a local Tradition
Indian Rocks Beach Florida – This past weekend our family went to Jimmy Iguana’s Restuarant and Open Air Waterfront Bar, a popular dock and dine (boaters always welcome here) in the Holiday Inn Harborside. It was the perfect spot to watch this years Indian Rocks Beach’s Holiday Boat Parade of 2007.
Now after a glorius week of 83 degree weather in Tampa Bay Florida, Saturday we were in for a change and the coldfront brought strong winds which started kicking up earlier that day as I watched the Clearwater Holiday Parade.
By sunset the tempatures had start dropping but nothing could dampen the spirits of those watching the dancing Christmas light on all the decked out boats along our intercoastal waterway. These Tampa Bay boaters were creative and colorful and each decorated boat was unique. Here are a couple of videos showing some of the boats in this years Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade.
When you watch the videos you can hear the wind whipping out there. The captains did a great job keeping all the boats from bumping into each other in the narrow canal as it took an extra 30 minutes for some of the boats to make it to the parade. I hope the video gave you a glimpse into Christmas along the Tampa Florida Beaches.
There was a fabulous display of lights, decorations, animation and music on the boats that participated in this years Indian Rocks Beach Holiday boat parade. I guess the $4000 in prize money helped energize everyone’s Christmas spirit.
I took some pictures (however I need a better flash – rumor is Santa is hoping to bring one this year
) I also took some videos to share the experience for those that weren’t able to be with us in Indian Rocks Beach Florida this year.

August 18th, 2007 Categories: Boating, Clearwater Beach Florida, Sand Key Florida, Things to do
Clearwater Beach Boating
Come visit us in Clearwater Beach, and experience two boat rides in one on the Sea Screamer. While you are here, ask me about how you can own a home or condo in paradise: Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates Florida.
The Sea Screamer is a 73′ speedboat, loaded with 38-passengers, that cruises through Clearwater Harbor, Clearwater Pass, Clearwater Beach and Sand Key looking for dolphins. Visit the Sea Screamer website: Sea Screamer.
Once you finish the dolphin sightings, the Sea Screamer Captain takes the passengers on an exhilarating ride in the Gulf of Mexico ‘screaming’ past Clearwater Beaches and resorts. Here are some shots I took while visiting Sand Key park recently.
Fun things to do in Clearwater
Adults ride for $20, kids 12 and under ride for $15 and kids 4 and under ride for free with an adult. The Sea Screamer runs year-round, so bring the family and call me for your condo or home needs while you are here.
