Blessing of the Fleet boat parade Kemah, TX

Starts at 2:00 today into the Clear Creek Channel. VIP boats first, then shrimp boats, then the rest of us. We'll be in silver and blue. Fun time from the boats OR the shore!

I seroiusly doubt it as it originated with the "work" fleet.

They have the "Blessing ofthe Fleet" every year in San Pedro, CA. The fishing fleet is made up of foreign born Italian and Yugoslav fishermen. Yes, they do the work Americans won't do.

Annual boat blessings? Like baptisms, one is enough. (What? the last/first time didn't count?)
