Fleet Blessing Prayer
"May God in Heaven fulfill abundantly the prayers which are pronounced
over you and your boats and equipment on the occasion of the Blessing
of the Fleet. God bless your going out and coming in; The Lord be with
you at home and on the water. May he accompany you when you start on
your many journeys: May he fill your nets abundantly as a reward for
your labor; And may he bring you all safely in, when you turn your
boats homeward to shore.... Amen"
