Local pastors stood on the bridge at Whale Harbor Channel in Islamorada as a fleet of boats approached for a blessing on a brisk and picturesque New Year’s morning. Vessels lined up at 8 a.m. for the Islamorada Charter Boat Association’s annual Blessing of the Fleet. The procession was led by the Gonefishin. On land, spectators found a spot near shore to view the parade of boats.Photos by DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly
