The Santa Ships return this Friday, Dec. 2 when Barry Wilson and other local boating enthusiasts tour around Burrard Inlet.
The ships will be departing Reed Point Marina around 7 p.m. and should be in the area of Rocky Point Park around 7:20 p.m. The fleet will tour around the inlet's Port Moody arm and will pass by the pier as close as weather and tides allow.
With their boats decorated from stem to stern, they are part of the annual Santa's Christmas Ships that grew out of the Vancouver Carol Ships about 20 years ago.
In addition to Friday's planned sailing, a second tour is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 16 with the possibility of one last cruise on Dec. 23, depending on the weather.
