blessing of the Fleet in Murrells Inlet

The 27th Blessing of the Fleet took place at the Belin Memorial United Methodist Church parking lot. This is one of the inlet's favorite spring gatherings. The entire street was closed down in front of the church. The service was lovely. This year, young and old, people from every corner of the country visiting Murrells Inlet said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang with a lot of enthusiasm this year. The food was abundant, the kids were playing, vendors were selling their wares... the "Fleet" was not the only thing feeling blessed.
