Blessing 2013

After waking up to rain...we were afraid the day might be ruined, but the rain stopped and the day turned out great for the blessing of the fleet. The neighbors of one of my son's always come out for the day and this year, there was a special treat. The gal on the right in the picture is from Australia. She and her husband teach dancing on cruise ships, and they got to know my sons neighbors on a cruise across the Atlantic. Once they worked their way across the country and after they finished their Alaska cruise, they were invited to stay with my son's neighbors for a few days....and those days happened to be when we have the blessing of the fleet, so of course they came along. They were an absolute delight and I have to say...this was one of the most delightful blessings in a long time. Thanks Emanuel and Joy...doesn't that sound like Christmas...it should, because Emanuel was born on Christmas day.
Just for fun..here is a little of the noise as our boats were blessed :o)
