The ‘God Squad’ aboard the Aurora V, the Corinthian Yacht Club’s vessel, blesses boats in Racoon Strait during the Blessing of the Fleet on April 26 hosted by the Corinthian Yacht Club in Belvedere as part of the 109th annual Opening Day on the Bay marking the start of the boating season. The tradition dates to 1963 and is modeled after blessings for working fishing fleets. (Leo Leung / For The Ark)
