Blessing of "Moments in Time" and "Miss Annemarie"

Toni and I had hoped to hold a boat blessing early on, but the timing never quite worked out. Now, as we prepare for our voyage south, we were fortunate to have Deacon Jim and his wife Ginger—both seasoned sailors—join us to bless "Moments in Time". They even offered a special blessing for our dinghy, "Miss Annemarie", complete with a few extra splashes of holy water across her transom. We are now nearly ready to embark on our odyssey toward lower latitudes and warmer seas.
