If I am right the Blessing of the fleet is an old tradition that was completed at the beginning of the fishing season and was always intended to bring the fishermen home safe and with a prosperous catch. It was never intended to bless the boat but its occupants, their safety, and their prosperity.
Fish4 I am a Souther Baptist as well and I always say a little internal prayer before each trip to ensure safety. So I encourage each of us to bless our fleet before we ever wet a line. A good time is while backing her into the water.
HSB, I agree we do have a direct line to our Lord, but with that comes responsibility to pray for others as well. I would incourage all of us to say a brief prayer for all Basholes each time we go fishing.
Sorry Fish4 if I got behind the pulpit too much
