Blessing of the Fleet is simply an oldtime boating tradition... more info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Fleet

Mainly an opportunity/excuse for all the recreational boaters to get their boats wet at the beginning of the season.

Thanks for the information.
Look forward to seeing all the boats.
