Chesapeake Crab Boats Christmas Parade

Christmas hits different when Santa trades his sleigh for a weathered crab boat. Down here on the

Chesapeake, the holiday parade floats actually float. We are talking twinkling

lights wrapped around crab pots and mistletoe swinging from fishing nets. The old Bay Fleet

lights up the dark water like a thousand little halos while captains rock ugly sweaters and Santa

caps. It is salt air, thermos coffee, and boots on the deck.

From the dock to the deep green sea, this is the only way to do the holidays.
