Blessing of the Fleet
Yesterday, Scott, Matthew and I went to the Gig Harbor Maritime Festival. It was a great time. One of the events was the Taste of Gig Harbor where 12 of the different local restaurants were selling some of their different dishes. Lots of good food!! They also had a Croatian band and dancers in full costume. But the highlight was the actual blessing of the fleet. Gig Harbor still has an active fishing industry with a fleet of about 10 different ships that sail north during the summer.
Our pastor from St. Nick's, Fr. Hung did the actual blessing.
It was really neat to see this community celebrate it's ethnic, religious and industrial heritage. I highly recommend the event for anyone who wants to come out and see us next summer.
