Blessing of the Seas 2013, Margate

I'll be honest, I don't really understand what this is about.  Other than it's a Greek custom to bless the seas and a young lad goes in the water as part of the ceremony.  A gathering of local dignitaries attend, watched by a mostly local audience of spectators.  But I kind of enjoy it, which is why I go and grab a few snaps :D
