Dear Gods bless this vessel

A bigger boat requires a load of offerings to bless her. So before we can take guests out we have to make sure she isn't cursed. So a jolly good blessing is in order. Tranquil seas and calm blessings As the Captain, crew and priestess start the ceremony MMMmmmm.... When can we eat the offerings? Tie that to the machine dear theres a good Captain. Om Shanti Shanti Om. And there you have it, all blessed for now till the next good day for blessing boats comes round. The Captain

Sea Rovers first ceremony, Bali being the island of the gods requires many ceremonies for many things. There is a good day to be born, a good day to marry and a good day to be dead (some might say there is never a good day to be dead). The 12th of December was a full moon and hence a good day for us to install our own little offering box to the Hindu gods of Bali. But also to cleanse ourselves and our equipment of any evil spirits that inhabit. (Not The RUM!!! Aaaargh... The Captain ). Thus cleansed and purified we are better prepared for the year to come.
