NEW YEARS DAY BOAT BLESSING

Every year on New Years Day we have a blessing of the fleet at our Yacht Club. One boat volunteers as the Stake Boat that our club chaplain is stationed, and as each boat pass by, the chaplain blesses the boat and crew, apparently its' an old Navy tradition, but it gets quite a turn out, we had just over 70 boats this year, the weather was perfect and we all got in about a 4 mile trip in our boats, (some needed it more than others!)
I dont have any photos of the F-32 under way yet, but I understand there are a few taken and I'll post if I recieve them

BTW:

I hope that you, yours and your Trojan Boat are blessed in the New Year and Happy New Year !
