After having to postpone the 57th annual Blessing of the Fleet on Thursday due to rain, spirits were not dampened Friday when more than a couple of hundred gathered under the tent at Fishing Fleet Marina to bless the anglers and speak a word of encouragement over season.
Following the service, boats paraded through the harbor and were blessed by ministers belonging to the Churches of Destin.
A fish fry on the docks wrapped up the afternoons fellowship.
