With more than 70 boats scheduled, the 38th Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade was a record-setting one.

Among the many people who made the event a success on Dec. 18 were Sarah Ulis, chair of the parade committee for the Palm Coast Yacht Club; Palm Coast city staff members Kendra Ianotti, Brittany Kershaw and Jared Dawson; Sheriff Rick Staly, Cmdr. Phil Reynolds and Marine Deputy Jeff Turner; and the Florida Intracoastal Navigational District.

Grand marshals for the parade were Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin and Staly, who rode with Capt. Otis Gilyard on the M&G Pride.

David Ayres, of Flagler Broadcasting, was emcee, with co-hosts Linda Cole and Priscilla Netts, wife of the late Jon Netts, who was a former mayor and boat enthusiast.
