The Blessing of the Boats

                                There is a tradition of blessing the fishing boats once a year


They do this on the beach in Bucerias so off we went to meet George and Brenda



They were there with their friends Pat and Peter and had a table front and center.

It was just after 11 am so they were not serving breakfast and no coffee,so we had beer and chicken tacos

At close to 1pm we could see the boats off on the horizon


Coming from La Cruz

A good crowd had gathered up the beach


And down the beach


I counted about 21 boats in all that were decorated




One at a time they head the boat for shore and just give r



Full blast on to the beach in the middle of the crowd and everybody cheers
Amazing no one was hurt


The last boat to hit the beach carried the princess but I'm not sure why

It was an interesting event and we had a few cool ones
What a country
