A moment later, the processions has begun and before they set sail to the sea the boats are blessed with holy water a sign of Blessed and Grace to all fishermen and their boats. After that, they started to left their boats to the sea water. Residents helped with each other lefting those small boats and approximately there are almost hundred of small boats will set sail to the sea riding by devotees. I decided to wait at the shore instead of joining the procession. Riding on a small boats makes me dizzy that is why I only wait the shore.
