This was Patrick and my first experience of joining the Power and Sail Squadron in an event: the annual Blessing of the Fleet from the Jacksonville Landing on the North bank of downtown. Even though there were only 4 boats representing our group there were many other boats that participated.

Patrick passed so close to the priest not only was our boat, Sail the Wind, splashed with holy water, but we were too!

Be sure and check out the web album for this event to the right on this page under "Favorites".
