City Islanders joined members of the American Legion, who saluted for 77 vessels, including, sail boats, yachts and kayaks, while clergy for the local houses of worship offered their blessings. St. Mary's Star of The Sea's Father Agustus blessed the vessel Geometry as it's occupants on board were seen simultaneously making the sign of the cross. Ironically, this could be the last year this Catholic church remains open on the Island.
