On Sunday December 6 I was the photographer for the Special Peoples’ Cruise, run out of Meydenbauer Yacht Club in Bellevue. This is an annual event, and I have been the photographer at the event for more than 20 years. There were more than 120 participants, plus dozens of volunteers helping make the event go smoothly. the day began with everyone meeting at the clubhouse for lunch and to sing Christmas carols, then everyone walked down to the docks to board more than 20 boats for a cruise around Lake Washington. The cruise lasted about 90 minutes, then it was back to the clubhouse to meet Santa and have snacks. Here are some of the photos of Santa with the cruise participants.
