Port Curtis Sailing Club Christmas Party

                                                                             


The party was preceded by a family sail on the harbour, which for those who went along was quite enjoyable though grey skies , and dull water yet again.
                                                        
                                                      The day was all about the KIDS.



the three musketeers looked suspiciously quiet and charmingly cute
                                                                                

                                                         Nadia Byers helped mum on Rag Top                    


                                                         some of the big kids helped out....

                                                                                   
                                           

               Earlier in the day.....................Brien and Noel got everything ready for Santa and helpers............



Santa arrived in a style that kept him warm and dry for the next chimney................




All the little kids got presents ........... and some of the big kids played with them .........

                                                           while others enjoyed the lolly pops.........   

...the real kids just heaved a sigh and moved on.........



                                                                             



                                       it rained and it rained........... and it was hot and steamy ..........

                                                                           

                              there were families ........


...............and friends....................





things were getting a little swirly ..................


with big smiles..........



Ray relaxed at last.........
