APRIL 2019 BEACON

It has been many years since I have taken advantage of attending The Blessing of the Fleet held at the historical Mariners Church of Detroit. Terri and I attended the March 10, 2019 service with Commodore Ian and Marie, Rear Commodore Glenn Nixon, Chaplin Art and Sue, Bob and Cheryl Swatosh, Peter and Norma Frame, Terry Steinmacher, Kathy Fowler, Tony Ellul, Tim Grennan and Andrea Grennan . It was a wonderful service well attended by the International Ship Masters Association, both United States and Canadian Navy and Coast Guard forces, United States Naval Sea Cadets, Power Squadrons, Local and State Government groups as well as local Yacht, Boat and Sail Clubs. We are looking forward to next years’ service. Afterwards our group enjoyed launch at Sinbad’s Restaurant. Thanks to Commodore Ian and Marie for hosting and making the arrangements.
