Blessing of the Fleet in Hernando Beach, Florida

 

Blessing of the Fleet at Hernando Beach Yacht Club 2015 Photos by Silvia Dukes

 

It was a beautiful day for the Blessing of the Fleet in Hernando Beach, Florida, today. The annual event took place for the 37th year at the Hernando Beach Yacht Club and was well attended.  

The event began with the posting of the colors by the Coast Guard Color Guard, canon salutes, and remarks by dignitaries.  Numerous boats were blessed before taking a ride out to the Gulf of Mexico for a wreath laying ceremony at Marker 58 to commemorate those that have lost their lives at sea. 

The Blessing of the Fleet is a traditional and centuries old ceremony that is to ensure a safe and bountiful boating season!

Every time I hear this I laugh thinking about the Caddyshack scene where the Christen the Sloop and the thing sinks

OK Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR, CRS, CIPS, SRES I know I'm getting tired when I was eager to read about The Blessing of the FEET. I was expecting something about Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. Guess I better take a nap.

Silvia - like Realman Bob I must be tired too.  I thought I saw blessing of the feet.  The fleet looks great.  Florida is one place you can justify owning a boat.
