The shrimping season just opened on Friday. They have a tradition where on the first Sunday of the shrimping season they decorate their boats and then they line up and they all pass by a boat with a priest on board and the priest "blesses the fleet". He does this one boat at a time.
This year they opened the shrimping season a little early because of the oil and not knowing how long they will be able to catch shrimp that will be good to eat. We wish them luck!!!
