This year’s blessing will take place on the water with the Bishop and his entourage on board, with Water Music will circle the shrimp docks and mooring area in San Carlos Bay blessing all boats that are anchored or docked along the shore. Water Music will then lead a procession of pleasure craft and commercial vessels out to the gulf where the boat will be anchored in front of the pier.  At this time, a wreath honoring those lost at sea will be tossed into the gulf
and all boats will receive a blessing from the Bishop. The Blessing will begin on the bay side at 2:00pm and will end on the gulf side when the last boat has been blessed.
