From Whale Harbor Bridge, three local pastors looked out at Whale Harbor Channel as a fleet of boats awaited a New Year’s Blessing on the morning of Jan. 1. From large offshore fishing charters to small flats boats, a procession of vessels rode to the Whale Harbor crossing where pastors Joe Scanlon, of Bluewater Church, Trevor Mann, of Island Community Church, and Tony Hammon, pastor emeritus at Island Community Church, delivered blessings. A blessing bash followed at Angler House Marina. The annual Blessing of the Fleet was sponsored by the Islamorada Charter Boat Association.
